1. Why do I need to verify?
To protect you - our customer, and ourselves as a business, from online fraud. Our team will reach out to verify your order if it is flagged by our internal payment system to ensure you are the card holder and have authorised the payment. At Ticket Merchant we pride ourselves on our customer service and going above and beyond for our customers. This also extends to verifying orders that need extra attention to ensure your online security. You may not have had to do this before, but we know you’ll be glad for our vigilance if the worst happens!
2. Is this a scam or phishing attempt?
Quite the opposite! This is to ensure no one is making payments with your card details without your consent. We get it, in this day and age online security needs to be number one and not everyone feels comfortable giving out details via email. Our team can be contacted online, or via phone Monday - Sunday 9am - 9pm to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
3. I have already paid, do I still have to do this?
Yes, your order has been processed and the payment taken, however this is an added step after the payment has been made, to ensure your online security.
4. Where do I find the code?
This unique code is in the description of your payment to us. It can be found via your bank statement or online banking by clicking on the payment.
5. Can I just cancel this instead?
As per our terms and conditions, all sales are final. Please see our Refund Policy here. If you need to discuss any concerns around your order, we can help!
6. I didn’t verify and now my order has been cancelled.
As we value your security and take verifying orders seriously, if we are unable to verify the purchase, we may have to cancel your order. We will always try our hardest to contact you first and follow up to ensure this doesn’t happen unintentionally so please make sure you contact us if you have any questions or issues with the process!

6. What is your Refund Policy?
Check out all of our policies, including our refund policy by clicking here.
7. Can I change the name on the tickets?
Unless specifically mentioned, tickets will not include names and will not require any names to be changed. The vast majority of events do not conduct an ID check, therefore any names on the ticket have no baring on entry. In the very rare circumstance that an event requires names on tickets to match, you will be notified of this and tickets will reflect the correct ticket holder details.
If you would like to change the name or email address the tickets are sent to, you can do so by logging in to your account and amending any required details.
8. Can I print my tickets?
If you have received a e-ticket (PDF ticket) these are designed to be printed, however we advise against printing any tickets with a QR code as these are designed to be scanned directly from your phone. If you do print any type of ticket, please be aware that printing can affect the barcodes of tickets so it is essential that you ensure the printing quality is high and that you take care of any printed tickets, ensuring they are not bent, folded or faded.
9. Can I bring my toddler to the event without a ticket if they sit on my lap?
We love that you want your kids to experience the thrill of going to an event! All events have different rules and regulations when it comes to children attending and then even more rules and regulations round whether or not they need a ticket. Considering how varied this can be, we recommend having a look at the venue's website which often has all the information you need. If not, let us help you! Contact. Our customer service team who can investigate and make sure everything will be A-OK so your toddler can have the experience of a lifetime!
10. Ticket Delays
We appreciate your concern with receiving your tickets in time for your event. In fact, there is so much information on this, we need to direct you to another page. Please see our Ticket Delay page here for the latest ticket delivery updates.
11. Why Are Certain Tickets Not Available In My Location?
Ticket availability may change depending on your location. Some regions, laws can limit ticket resale by imposing price caps or outright prohibitions. Friends viewing tickets from other locations may see more tickets available. Because of this, you may not see certain tickets when browsing from a location with such restrictions.
Many users notice that ticket options change depending on their browsing location. For example, travelers or those accessing our platform from different regions often find a broader range of ticket options. Since Ticket Merchant is required to follow local regulations, ticket availability may be restricted based on your IP address. Therefore, friends browsing from regions with fewer restrictions may see more tickets available.
Ticket visibility is determined by each region’s policies, so the selection may vary depending on where you’re connecting from.

2. How do I buy tickets online?
Don't worry, our website is user friendly! Simply select the number of required tickets to be seated together from the drop down, and click the blue price button to add the tickets to your cart! Tickets are listed in the capacity in which they are available, which means we may not always have the number you require. Please contact our Customer Service team here if you don't see your desired amount. We can't make any guarantees but we are always happy to see if there's anything we can do to help you!
3. If I purchase 4 tickets in the drop down, will they be seated together?
|
Damn straight you will but let us explain further! Which ever quantity you are able to purchase in one transaction are guaranteed to be seated side by side! Whether that's 2,4,6 or more, if your confirmation email has them as one group, you are guaranteed to be together, side by side. If you purchase tickets in the same order but in two different parts, you will not be seated together.
So for example, if you have 2 lots of 2, don't expect that to be a group of 4, side by side. Please ensure you look at your order closely before purchasing as once you agree to our terms and conditions, all orders are final and non-refundable. |

Please stay! We love that you have jumped on board and would be sad to lose you! We are honest about who we are, this is reflective on the top of every page on our website and our team are a bunch of good people working hard to ensure you have a great experience purchasing through our website.
Additionally, when purchasing, all customers must agree to the Terms & Conditions which explicitly state that we are a secondary ticket marketplace. All sales are final and non refundable.
7. I would like to exchange my ticket to another event
Having second thoughts? With so many events to choose from, we understand. Unfortunately, as per our terms & conditions, all sales are final and are unable to be refunded or exchanged. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like help looking at other solutions!
8. I have tested positive for COVID and do not have refund protection. Can I still get a refund?
Oh no! Unfortunately as our Terms & Conditions state, all sales are final and non-refundable. As a resale marketplace, The Ticket Merchant lists tickets that come from a vast network of Australian sellers, all of whom own or manage their own ticket inventory. Sellers are automatically notified when an order for their tickets is placed. Once this happens, you are backed by our 100% Buyer Guarantee and the seller is guaranteed payment in exchange for fulfilling your order.
Sellers do not allow cancellations and are not obligated to offer any refunds, discounts, or exchanges, so we are unable to extend those to our customers. Once you receive your tickets, we suggest selling on sites such as Tixel. Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace which are more suited to one off ticket sellers. If you have any further queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.
9. My purchase is a gift but I don't have tickets to give. What can I do?
Whilst we can't always send tickets as soon as we'd like, we can create a personalised gift certificate to give you something that can be presented as a gift when the time comes. If you'd like us to whip up a gift certificate up for you, please email our customer service at [email protected] . We recommend not to call for this one as there's not much we can do to speed this request up over the phone!
10. Can I pick my tickets up at the box office?
As an online marketplace, we sadly do not have an affiliation with the box office at any venue. Rather than telling you what we can't do, let's tell you what we can! All tickets are sent through electronically via email unless otherwise mentioned.
Please see our Ticket Delay Information page here to see if there is a ticket suppression in place for your event. If your event is within 7 days or if you just want to speak to one of our team and ask a few questions to ease some concerns, we encourage you to contact our Customer Service team.
