Frequently asked questions
Our system reviews the seller's original purchase confirmation and checks the core event details before the listing goes live.
Yes. Every listing is proof-backed, tickets must be transferred through the original ticketing app, and seller payouts are held until after the event so buyers stay protected if something goes wrong.
When you submit a request, we place a temporary hold on your card. Your final charge only happens if the seller accepts your request.
TicketZap is fan-to-fan, so sellers confirm availability before the order becomes final. That helps prevent double-selling and makes sure the transfer goes to the right buyer.
Tickets are delivered through the original ticket provider, like Ticketmaster or AXS, using the email you provide at checkout. No PDFs, screenshots, or forwarded barcodes are used as delivery.
Usually, yes. If the tickets are being transferred through Ticketmaster, AXS, or another primary app, you should be ready to accept the transfer there using the same email tied to your order.
Orders are generally final once a seller accepts. Refunds are typically only available if the event is officially canceled, the seller fails to deliver valid tickets, or the tickets are materially different from the listing. If an event is rescheduled and the same tickets remain valid, the order usually stays in effect.
Contact support as soon as you notice the issue with your order ID and screenshots from the ticketing app. Because seller payouts are delayed until after the event, we can investigate quickly and, when covered, arrange a replacement or issue a refund.
