AXS Mobile ID More Info & FAQs

What is AXS Mobile ID?

AXS Mobile ID is a digital ticketing system, with tickets assigned directly to fans attending. It eliminates paper tickets and allows you to enter events quickly with the scanning of the AXS or venue app. AXS Mobile ID allows you to manage your tickets digitally, with the option of transferring them easily amongst your party right up until show time.

Why is AXS Mobile ID being launched?

We’ve launched this brand new technology to give fans of live entertainment a faster and fairer ticketing experience. We’ve listened to customers asking for more to be done against unfair secondary ticketing practices and AXS Mobile ID tickets come equipped with a dynamically changing barcode system, which ensures that the tickets cannot be copied or shared illegally on any other websites, emphasising AXS’ ongoing commitment to combatting ticket scalpers.

Buying Tickets

Purchase tickets in a few easy steps! Before you start, make sure you have created an AXS account and downloaded the AXS App. Also have your credit or debit card handy, or if using PayPal, your login for PayPal ready to go.

Find your event on AXS.com or via the AXS App and simply click “Get Tickets”. The site or app will walk you through the steps to complete your purchase.

You will receive a confirmation of your ticket purchase via email and a second confirmation that your tickets are now available in your AXS Mobile ID (the AXS App).

For a smooth purchasing experience, you should have the below ready:

  • You’ve created an AXS account
  • You’re logged into your AXS account (either via website or via app)
  • Your debit card / credit card on hand, or PayPal login ready
  • If you have access to a pre-sale, make sure you have the code or link ready
  • Find your event and simply click “Get Tickets”

Pre-sales are a chance to purchase tickets before the general public has access. These special occasions are typically reserved as membership perks or fan loyalty programs. Most pre-sales require a special code in order to purchase tickets early and these codes are typically sent out to eligible fans leading up to the sale.

Access to a pre-sale does not guarantee tickets.

Passwords for pre-sales are often communicated directly to fans who are invited to participate. Some pre-sale passwords are sent by other entities like credit card companies, radio stations, and fan clubs.

For information on upcoming shows, including special pre-sale offers and more, sign up for our newsletter! To sign up, please create an account with us and update your Notification preferences.

On our busiest events, we add a virtual waiting room where fans can wait before the event goes onsale. The area typically opens 30 minutes before the onsale begins.

Here are a few things to know about the waiting room:

  • Stopping bots. We want fans like you to get the best tickets. The waiting room gives us an opportunity to filter out people who use technology to get the best seats and sell them for an inflated price.
  • Traffic control. The waiting room helps us get fans to the tickets as quickly as possible for the most popular events.
  • It’s not a queue! The waiting room is a holding area – getting there 30 minutes before is no different to joining 1 minute before.
  • Online only. We only have this waiting room online.
  • Don't refresh your screen. Once you are in the waiting room, it is best to wait. You’ll be processed through to the onsale as quickly as possible.

For popular shows, if there are any extra dates added, we will tell people in the waiting rooms first, giving them a link for the new show.

Please note that a place in the Waiting Room does not guarantee the availability of tickets!

If no tickets are found when you do a search, it means that at moment we do not have any available. For big releases, tickets are reserved very quickly. They are reserved for a limited time to allow customers with tickets in their 'baskets' to either complete the purchase or release the tickets.

If the purchase is completed, the ticket becomes unavailable and when this occurs for all tickets in a section, this section and price category will disappear or be crossed out from the purchase flow. If the purchase is not completed, the ticket will be released back into the system and be allocated to the next customer with a matching search.

When a lot of tickets are held in purchases that have not yet been completed, the tickets will not show up in a search because at the moment they are not available. However, the website will not state that they are sold out unless each and every ticket has been paid for.

Unfortunately, for some events the demand will exceed the supply.

A ticket limit can be set for an event to discourage unfair ticket buying practices. This ticket limit is posted during the buying process and is verified with every transaction.

Multiple accounts may not be used to exceed the ticket limits. This includes accounts or purchases with the same name, email address, billing address, credit card number or other information.

Concession or children’s ticket entitlements vary from event to event. Event organisers decide when or how to offer these entitlements. To find more information for each event, follow these steps:

  1. Open the relevant event page (either via the AXS website or AXS App
  2. Under Event Details section, there will be information specific to the event on age ranges, family policies and accessible seating.

To ensure tickets are available to as many people as possible, there may be a limit on the amount of time a fan can hold tickets before completing their purchase.

There is a timer at the top of every page in the checkout process that shows you how long you have to complete your purchase before the tickets in your cart are released for others to buy.

If the timer runs out before you have completed your booking, you will receive the message: "Out of time – we are sorry but the time to purchase your tickets has run out.” At this point, the tickets have been removed from your cart, and you will need to reload the page and try again to purchase tickets.

Your charge will be charged as soon as you make the booking. It can sometimes take a few days for it to show up on your statement and will mostly likely be shown as a pending payment in the meantime.

Buy Now, Pay in 4 is an excellent option if you want to make a large purchase more affordable by paying it off over time. Get what you want and split the payments into 4 installments over 6 weeks. Click here for more information.

Transferring on AXS Mobile ID

A ticket transfer allows you to give each guest in your party their own entry ticket digitally via AXS Mobile ID. They will receive a confirmation email to accept the transfer, and the tickets will automatically appear in their AXS App.

With ticket transfers, you no longer need to worry about delivering the paper tickets to them in advance or meeting them outside of the entrance to walk in together. There is no fee for transferring seats and you can make unlimited transfers.

Follow these simple steps to transfer tickets now.

No – AXS Mobile ID tickets include an anti-tout mechanism that ensures the tickets cannot be copied, as part of this, the bar code changes within the AXS App every 59 seconds.

You can transfer the tickets with them in a few easy steps.

There is no limit on how many times a ticket can be transferred.

You can select the transfer option in your account and send them the tickets directly.

There may be times where a block on transferability is requested by the promoter – if this happens, this will be marked clearly at purchase stage.

It depends on whether the guests you are transferring to already have an AXS Account. If they already have an account, the tickets are transferred instantaneously to their account, so you cannot cancel a transfer once you have initiated it. If the people you are transferring to do not have an AXS Account and do not pick up the tickets you have transferred, you can cancel a transfer.

If the above has not answered a question for you, please contact us directly here.
