Verified Fan Presale

Verified Fan Previous Registrants:

In order to accommodate the high demand of Verified Fan registrations already received, a lottery-style selection will be used to give a limited number of previously waitlisted fans access to the newly announced December dates.

What is Ticketmaster Verified Fan?

Verified Fan helps artists get more of their tickets into the hands of concertgoers. Verified Fan uses advance registration to help filter out buyers looking to resell tickets for profit, and instead get them into the hands of fans who want to go to the show. And while it doesn’t guarantee that all Verified Fans will get tickets, it does significantly block bots and professional resellers from competing against fans for tickets during the sale.

Reminder: Access to the Verified Fan Presale does not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if you get a code, be sure to join the presale promptly at the time stated in your email for the best chance to get tickets.
