  4. Click "Transfer Ticket"

Important Deadlines

  • Transfers close 1 hour before the event starts

  • The exact deadline is shown on your ticket

  • Some events may have different transfer windows

If the Transfer Button is Missing

This might happen because:

  • You're outside the transfer window

  • The event organizer hasn't enabled transfers

  • The event has transfer restrictions

Need Help?

If transfers aren't available or you're having issues, contact our support team with:

  • Event name

  • Ticket ID

  • Recipient's information

Note: Transfers are only possible between registered GETIN users. This helps prevent unauthorized reselling and keeps tickets in the hands of real fans.
