Going to an event with a group is great, but waiting at the entrance for that one friend who is always late is not. To make things easier, you can share individual tickets directly with your crew. This way, everyone has their own ticket on their phone, and you can head straight inside.
Sending a ticket link
After you finish your purchase, you will see an option to download your tickets as a PDF or share them. While a PDF works, sharing a link is often much faster.
Click on Share tickets.
You will see two sections: To share (tickets available to send) and Shared (tickets you have already sent).
Choose the tickets you want to send.
Give the link a name, like the name of the friend you are sending it to.
Select Create shareable link.
Because these tickets are shared, the barcode will be “fixed” to the PDF tickets when you download them again. This prevents the tickets from being accidentally scanned, even though they are intended to be used by others.
Under the 'Shared' tickets is the name given for the shared link, in the image above we've named it 'friends'. Click on 'Copy link' to copy the link. You can share this link via WhatsApp, email, etc., so that the rest of the group can use these tickets. They do not receive a PDF document, but the link instead opens a mobile ticket. This is a web page containing the QR code (or barcode) that is scanned at the door.
If several links are shared, then there are several links under the heading 'Shared', each of which can be copied, each with its own tickets.
Changing your mind
If a friend cannot make it or plans change, you stay in control. You can revoke a shared link at any time by selecting Withdraw share link. Once you do this, the shared link will no longer work, and the barcode on your original PDF will become scannable again.
Please note that only the person who bought the tickets can revoke a link. The event organizer cannot do this for you.
