How do I verify my account by phone and email?

To enhance your experience and fight against malicious technology, we’re asking you to verify your email and phone number as an extra layer of protection against bots and other abuse. By delivering a code directly to your email and mobile phone, we decrease the opportunity for suspicious users to create Ticketmaster accounts.

Your account on Ticketmaster is not created until you verify both your email address and phone number.

Verifying your account

• 1. When you create an account or add an email to an existing account, we’ll ask you to provide an email that you own.
  2. Sometimes, it can take a few minutes for the email with your one-time code to arrive in your inbox.

Using your code
