What if the tickets I want aren't showing up in my cart?

It is up to the event organizers to determine if they require the name on the ticket to match the person using the ticket. We always recommend reaching out to the event organizers  to determine if the name on the ticket must match the person using the ticket. 

 

What if I put in the wrong billing address?

If your purchase went through successfully, you don't need to change anything! Even if you made a mistake, your credit card accepted the mistake you made and was able to process your payment. You have your tickets and you are good to go.

 

What if I put in the wrong shipping address?

If you are buying tickets that require a shipping address and you entered the details incorrectly, you will want to reach out to us so we can make the proper changes. Please send us an email at support@showpass.com with the details of your purchase, and what you would like the address changed to!
