Yes, it's safe. When you transfer a ticket, the person you are sending the tickets to must accept the tickets in our secure marketplace. When they accept their ticket, we issue a new barcode to them. This keeps you protected and they get secure tickets they can trust.

Transferring tickets via Ticketmaster is generally very safe, provided you stay within the official Ticketmaster ecosystem. The "Transfer" feature is designed to be a secure, digital handoff where the original barcode is canceled and a brand-new, unique barcode is issued to the recipient. This eliminates the risk of someone using a "duplicate" paper ticket or a screenshot. When you transfer a ticket, you only need the recipient's email address; once they accept, the tickets are moved into their account, and the sender no longer has access. However, the "safety" risk occurs outside the app during the payment phase. Ticketmaster's transfer tool does not handle the exchange of money between individuals. Therefore, if you are "buying" a ticket from a stranger on social media and they ask for payment via Zelle or Venmo before transferring, you are at high risk of being scammed. To ensure 100% safety, it is always best to buy verified resale tickets directly through the Ticketmaster platform, where the payment and the ticket transfer are bundled together in a single, protected transaction.
