FAQ's

Mobile Ticketing is the safest, most convenient and flexible way to receive and manage tickets while increasing protection against fraud and lost or stolen tickets. Mobile Ticketing brings your event(s) into an account to help you manage your seats more conveniently while providing you additional distribution options.

We believe that our fans deserve access to tickets that they can trust at every step. To that end, we have opted to use Safetix mobile tickets for our Montreal Canadiens games. Safetix are mobile tickets powered by a new and unique barcode that automatically refreshes every 15 seconds. This greatly reduces the risk of ticket fraud from stolen or illegal counterfeit tickets. 

If you take a closer look at your ticket, you may notice that it has a gliding movement, making it in a sense, alive. That movement is ticket technology actively working to safeguard the ticket holder by refreshing the barcode every 15 seconds.

TRANSFERRING TICKETS

Transferring a ticket allows you to securely send some or all your tickets directly from your Canadiens app. When you use the Transfer Ticket feature, it allows everyone attending the event to have their own ticket in-hand. It's easy, safe and completely free. 

Once you transfer a ticket, you'll see one of two statuses. If you see "Waiting to Accept", the recipient has not accepted your transfer yet. You may want to send them a reminder to check their e-mail for the transfer notification. If you see "Accepted by,'' this means the recipient has accepted your tickets and they are no longer available for use in your account. 

This is possible if the recipient has not yet accepted the tickets. You can cancel the transfer in your account. In the Canadiens app, select the ticket you wish to recall and select "Cancel"

When you transfer tickets in Account Manager via your desktop, mobile browser or the Canadiens app, it does not sync with your phone's wallet. We suggest deleting the ticket from your wallet once it's been transferred successfully.

Note: Once a ticket has been transferred, a new barcode is generated, and all previous copies of that ticket are no longer valid for entry.

No. If you don't have a Canadiens Account Manager Account Manager, you'll be prompted to create one. Once you have accepted the tickets, we recommend downloading the official Canadiens mobile app to access your tickets and improve your in-game experience.

Because it is the only authorized ticket re-sale platform of the Montreal Canadiens. It guarantees a valid seat to the buyer. Also, sellers are guaranteed payment for seats sold, without having to collect payment or deliver the tickets to the buyer.

This is the only place where we can guarantee tickets are 100% legitimate. The original tickets were purchased through our platforms. If you buy a ticket outside of our platforms, there is no way to confirm whether the ticket is counterfeit or invalid. Buyers simply select the seat(s) they want based on price and location, without having to bid against other buyers, without having to coordinate delivery from anonymous sellers, and without the gamble that the seats are illegitimate.

It's an easy process. Seller gets a refund cheque sent out by Ticketmaster - paid in the month following the transaction. For any question, you may contact Ticketmaster at ticketexchangesupport@ticketmaster.com.

Seller fees are 15%. For example, if the asked price is $50, the seller fees are $7.50 and the seller receives a cheque of $42.50.

As for any ticket transaction, the buyer will pay a ticketing service fees per ticket that varies in function of the game and various market conditions.
