Ballpark Entry: Contactless & Digital Ticketing

Contactless Entry to the Coliseum

In partnership with Tickets.com, we offer you the convenience of 'contactless' entry to the ballpark.

Near Field Communication (NFC) allows you to enter the park by presenting contactless ticket(s) on your NFC-capable Apple or Android device. This innovative technology requires no barcode on the front of your digital ticket.

Add your tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Pay (Samsung Pay is not supported). At the gate, present your mobile device to the ticket attendant (or NFC-capable pedestal or turnstile), select your ticket(s) from the wallet and hold your device within 4 inches of the icon on the NFC reader. That's it.

Security, Privacy & Contactless Entry via NFC

Compared to a barcode printed on paper or displayed on a smartphone, contactless entry relies on Near Field Communication (NFC), which is much more secure. A contactless ticket is much more difficult to acquire and duplicate. Additionally, the share button in Apple Wallet has been deactivated to prevent pass sharing. Ticket holders can share tickets through My A's Tickets and the Ballpark app.

Our NFC ticket readers ...

  • validate tickets from Apple Wallet and Google Payā€”hold your mobile device near the reader's icon.
  • cannot add data to your personal mobile device.
  • are not capable of reading data from your personal mobile device beyond the ticket information presented onscreen.

The close-proximity requirement for NFC adds an additional layer of security for your tickets. Your tickets cannot be read from long range distance.

No Barcodes, No Printing, All Convenience

Opting for contactless entry eliminates the need for barcodes and physical tickets. All you need is your personal mobile deviceā€”add your tickets to Apple Wallet or Google Pay and enjoy the game. Adding a ticket to Apple Wallet on a compatible iPhone provides you with a contactless ticket by default.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

FAQ Topics: My Events & Ticket Inventory

Which events and tickets are displayed in MyTickets?

When viewing your inventory in MyTickets, the Event List page displays current and future events with ā€œactiveā€ tickets. Tickets that have been returned, exchanged, resold, or donated are not considered active and are not displayed.

If you have forwarded tickets to a friend, the tickets remain visible in your account, but can no longer be used for entry. If the tickets included a barcode, the barcode is no longer displayed for your account as the tickets are no longer active on your account.

If your active tickets are not displayed, or a barcode-scannable ticket does not display a barcode at the ticket details page, please go to the box office or customer service desk for assistance.

How do I use a voucher?

A voucher is a prepaid certificate that you redeem for an event ticket (subject to availability, some restrictions may apply).

  • First, ensure that your voucher is on record with your account. Use the ā€˜Add Vouchersā€™ feature if necessary.
  • Then redeem the voucher for an event ticket.
  • Use your event ticket to enter the venue.

Note: To enter the venue, you must first redeem your voucher for an event ticket. A voucher cannot be scanned for entry.

Does MyTickets display tickets that are pending resale/donation?

Yes. A ticket included in an active market offer (a pending resale or donation) is an active ticket and is displayed in MyTickets.

If the market offer results in a completed resale or donation, the ticket is no longer considered active in terms of your account. MyTickets only displays your active tickets.

What delivery methods work with MyTickets?

A variety of factors determine the exact delivery methods available within My Tickets and some restrictions may apply.

If your active tickets are not displayed, or a barcode-scannable ticket does not display a barcode at the ticket details page, please go to the box office or customer service desk for assistance.

FAQ Topics: Forwarding Tickets

What is ticket forwarding?

MyTickets provides an easy way for you to digitally share one or more tickets with someone else.

The forward action moves a ticket from your inventory list into that of the recipient. The recipient can then use the ticket to enter the event.

How will my friend know that I shared tickets?

Both you (the sender) and the 'friend' (recipient) receive an email confirming the forward action.

The email to your friend includes links for logging into MyTickets. Your friend can send you a ā€œThank Youā€ email or return the ticket(s) to you if they are unable to use them.

How do I add a friend?

You may add a friend when sharing tickets or you can expand the my account menu option, select manage friends, and click add friend. You can add and select friends in MyTickets from a mobile or desktop device.

What if I made a mistake when I shared a ticket?

If you mistakenly used the forward action to share a ticket or tickets, use the recall option in MyTickets. Recalling a ticket restores the ticket to your inventory and re-enables the barcode on any ticket that was previously printed. Both you and your friend receive an email confirming the recalled ticket(s).

What if my "Friend" canā€™t go?

Sometimes your friend canā€™t make the game. Donā€™t worry ā€“ you still have options.

Log in to My A's Tickets.

Option 1: Your friend sends a forwarded ticket back to you.

The recipient opens their confirmation email and selects the link to return the ticket to the sender.

What are Contactless Tickets?

Contactless tickets are digital tickets that you have added to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay. They are similar to traditional event tickets, but they have no barcode and are easier to use and more secure.

While saving the ticket on Google Pay make sure that you are using the same Google account as the one on Google Pay. If the issue persists, reach out to the Google Pay support team using the ā€˜Help & supportā€™ option in the Google Pay app.

I tried to tap my ticket but nothing happened

This could be due to a number of factors including:

  • The ticket is saved on a different Google account: check that the ticket is saved on the same account as the one you are using in Google Pay.
  • NFC is turned off. The model of your Android device determines the exact setting location (typically within Settings). For example, choose Connected devices > Connection preference or a comparable option within Wireless & networks, Connections, or NFC and payment.
  • Smart Tap is off for a given pass: open the pass in the Google Pay app and scroll down to the bottom of your pass to ensure that the toggle ā€˜Hold near terminal to useā€™ is on.
  • Google Pay is not set as the default app for ticketing (your default payment app). For example, to use a pass at an NFC terminal, ensure that another app is not set as your default payment app.
  • The antenna is located in a different area of your phone: Try holding your phone in a different way. Your NFC antenna could be near the top or bottom of your device.

How do I set Google Pay is my default app for tickets?

The model of your Android device determines the exact setting location (typically within Settings). For example, tap Settings > Tap & Pay or Apps & Notifications > Default apps.

Google Pay must be set as the default tap and pay app or default wallet app in order to use the ticket that is saved on Google Pay.

Does my phone need to be unlocked to use my ticket?

I'm having trouble displaying my ticket barcode.

No barcodes required at an NFC enabled terminal. If you have an event ticket saved on Google Pay, just wake the device and then gently tap the back of the phone against the terminal.

  • Try holding your phone in a different way. Your NFC antenna could be near the top or bottom of your device.
  • Hold your phone closer to the NFC reader.
  • Hold your phone near the reader for a few extra seconds.
  • Reach out to attendant or customer service.

My phone doesnā€™t have NFC, can I still use my ticket?

If your phone isnā€™t NFC enabled, you can look for a barcode on the ticket. For example, your Android device may offer a "Show Code" option in the lower left of the screen.

If you do have multiple tickets on your account, when you tap you would see the option to choose the one you want to use in that instant. As soon as this ticket is redeemed, you can tap it again to redeem the next ticket for your family/friend.

What phones can I use Google Pay on?

Using Google Pay for contactless entry requires your device to have Android Lollipop (5.0) or higher, and must have an NFC chip.

Does my phone need internet access to use my saved ticket?

No, if your ticket is already saved to your phone, you can use the ticket while your phone is offline for either NFC or show-and-scan barcode redemption. However, the phone does need internet access for purchasing and saving a new ticket.

My phone was lost / stolen / factory reset or Google Pay or my Google account has been deleted from my phone. How do I retrieve my ticket?
