Why don't I see a ticket on the Person page?

If the ticket in question doesn't appear under "Tickets" on a customer's Person page, there are a few things that may have happened:

  • the customer may have used a different email upon checkout

  • the customer may have transferred their ticket to another customer

  • the customer may have had the ticket transferred to them, but may not have properly accepted the transfer; in this case the ticket is still on the account of the customer who was transferring them the ticket.

  • the customer may not have properly completed their purchase.

If you can't locate a customer's ticket on their account, it is helpful if they can provide their Order Confirmation Email and / or can provide the order details from their credit card statement.
