Sharing Event Links or Tickets via Hometown
The ability to share event links and tickets with others is a key feature of the Hometown platform. Whether you’re using the Hometown Fan App or the website, this guide will walk you through the steps to share links for purchasing tickets or sharing tickets themselves using QR codes.
Sharing an Event Link for Ticket Purchases
You can easily share event links through either the Hometown Fan App or the website to allow others to purchase their own tickets directly.
Using the Hometown Fan App
Open the Hometown Fan App on your device.
Use the search bar to locate the school or organization hosting the event.
Select the event from the list to open the event link.
Tap the Share icon (on the bottom right-hand side) to bring up sharing options.
Send the link via your preferred method (e.g., text, email, or social media).
This ensures the recipient receives a direct link to the event’s ticket page and can complete their purchase independently.
Using the Website
Visit the Hometown events website and use the search bar to locate the school or organization hosting the event.
Open the event’s page where tickets are listed.
Copy the URL directly from your browser’s address bar.
Share the URL through your preferred method, such as text or email.
Before sharing, make sure the link points to the correct event and date to avoid confusion for the recipients.
Sharing Tickets Using QR Codes
If your tickets are already purchased and include QR codes, you can share them using screenshots. Follow these simple steps:
Open your ticket containing the QR code.
Take a clear screenshot of the ticket, ensuring the QR code is fully visible.
Send the screenshot to the intended recipient via text or email.
Note: Each QR code can only be scanned once. Ensure the recipient understands that once the QR code is used at the event, it cannot be used again.
Additional Considerations:
Always verify that the event link or QR code you share corresponds to the correct event and date.
Sharing QR codes works well for individual ticket transfers but should be done securely to avoid unauthorized sharing.
By following these steps, you can easily share event links and tickets with others, enabling them to purchase or access events seamlessly.
