How does it work?
Our proprietary online system has been designed to offer you up-to-the-minute real-time access to an unrivalled selection of tickets, and all the information you will require to make the right purchasing decisions for your next trip. Product descriptions include everything you need to know about the event or service, and what to do on the day so that you don’t waste time worrying. Once tickets are purchased, a confirmation email containing your voucher or e-tickets is sent to the email address you supply. The confirmation email also acts as your receipt. All prices quoted and charged are in USD, even for international events, and charges will post as Ticmate on your credit card statement. Ticmate only contracts directly with the inventory owner or authorized ticket provider so you never need to worry about fraud.

How do I get my tickets?
Each product page contains specific information regarding ticket collection. In some cases, a voucher is issued, in others, actual e-tickets are sent. Either way, the process is always simple, and as eco-friendly as possible. The confirmation email sent to you after tickets have been purchased, will contain the actual voucher or e-tickets. Both voucher and e-tickets will also contain all pertinent information so that you always know exactly what to do.

What do I do if I haven’t received my tickets?
Please contact customer service as soon as possible in the unlikely event that you have not received your confirmation email containing your voucher or e-tickets. Please note that we may not be able to refund unused tickets due to a claim that they were never received, so it is very important that we hear from you first and are given the opportunity to assist you.

What are your fees like, and are they included in the ticket price?
Prices displayed online include all costs, taxes and booking fees applicable to the distribution costs of the tickets. Our prices are always competitive or better than other sellers, including, in some cases, the primary inventory owner. In most cases, a booking fee of 10-25% is included in the price of a theatre ticket. Football tickets can include much higher fees depending on the match. As we hold our own ticket inventories, we sometimes have tickets available even when the primary inventory owner is sold out. Buying in advance through Ticmate means you are guaranteed a ticket – no lines, no sold outs, and no fraud.
Back to FAQ
Are there discounts for children, students or seniors?
We do not offer student-specific discounts– but for sightseeing and guided tours there are often discounted tickets for children, and in some cases for seniors as well. If there are special rates available for children or seniors, you will see them after selecting a specific date for your product. Remember to double-check the age requirement when booking multiple products, as age requirements may vary by product.

Where is the meeting point for my tour?
You will find the exact address and a map of the meeting point on the product page of the specific tour of interest– all our meeting points are centrally located and are generally very easy to reach by public transportation, taxi, car or by foot! The exact address will also be included on your voucher or e-ticket.
Back to FAQ
What does it mean when my tickets are on request?
Typically, all tickets purchased through Ticmate are automatically confirmed at time of payment. However, some special events require special handling to confirm directly with the venue or local agent. We refer to these orders as “on request”, and this exception, if it relates to the product you are interested in, will be clearly -mail noted on the product page. “On request” orders are typically responded to within 48 hours, though it may take longer over a weekend or holiday period. As soon as your order is confirmed by the venue/agent, we will automatically send the voucher or e-tickets to the email address supplied and finalize the payment. Should it not be possible to confirm your tickets, we will inform you via email, and release the amount previously held on your credit card.

How do I book tickets for my group?
Please continue to add enough tickets to your shopping cart until your group requirement is met – for example adding 8+6 tickets for a group of 14 people, 8+8+8 for 24 tickets and so on. Our system will allocate the best tickets as close together as possible without sacrificing seat quality. We do not offer group discounts.
