Buy a resale ticket safely
If an event is sold out or someone offers you their ticket, use Quicket's official ticket transfer or resale process wherever possible.
Buying through Quicket resale
1
Complete the purchase through the Quicket link or resale option.
2
Wait for the booking to be confirmed.
3
Check that the new ticket appears in your Quicket account.
4
Use the newly issued ticket at the event.
A successful resale cancels the seller's original ticket and issues a new ticket to the buyer.
Buying from someone you know
If someone is giving you their ticket rather than selling it, ask them to use Quicket's Transfer tickets feature where available.
This:
- Removes the ticket from their account
- Invalidates their previous barcode
- Creates a new ticket for you
- Adds the ticket to your Quicket account
Avoid buying a screenshot or PDF
Be cautious if someone simply sends you:
- A screenshot of a ticket
- A PDF
- A photo of a barcode
- A printed copy
Receiving a copy of a ticket doesn't prove that you're the only person who has that barcode.
Check your Quicket account
After a successful Quicket transfer or resale, the ticket should be associated with your Quicket account.
Log in and check My Tickets before attending the event.
Be careful with unofficial sellers
Quicket can't guarantee tickets bought outside its official transfer or resale process.
Be especially cautious if someone:
- Pressures you to pay quickly
- Refuses to use Quicket's available resale process
- Sends only a screenshot
- Offers the same ticket publicly to several people
The event doesn't allow resale
If the official resale option isn't available, don't assume a privately advertised ticket can be safely resold through Quicket.
The organiser controls whether ticket resale and transfers are available.
