What is Ticketmaster Verified Fan?
What is Ticketmaster Verified Fan?
Verified Fan is a Ticketmaster system aimed at getting tickets into the hands of fans and out of the reach of bots and resellers.
When an artist decides to use the Verified Fan program, fans who want tickets have to select that specific artist as a favourite or interest in their Ticketmaster account online in advance of the onsale.
Ticketmaster works out if you are a bot or ticket scalper and if you've been 'verified'.
Having selected a particular artist/event in your Ticketmaster account you will be on the list to receive a notification about the event and will be emailed the option to Register as a Verified Fan.
You must Register for Verified Fan for each event you want to attend in order to receive a Unique Code to use to purchase tickets. The Verified Fan registration is in addition to your Ticketmaster Account.
You will receive the code approx. 4 hours prior to the presale time to reduce the chance of codes falling into the hands of unscrupulous sellers.
Registering does not guarantee fans will receive a code or have the ability to purchase tickets. Presale tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If fans miss out on tickets in the Presale, there will be limited tickets available in the general public onsale and codes will not be required for this.
