IRVINE BOWL TICKETING FAQs

Due to the limited capacity of these special events, tickets will only be available through a request system powered by Seated. This system is designed to block scalpers and bots, ensuring tickets end up in the hands of real fans. Fans can register now until Tuesday, September 30th at 7pm PT.

On Wednesday, October 1st, a select number of fans will either have their tickets secured for them automatically via Seated, or will be notified that they will receive a unique code to have an opportunity to purchase tickets on the venue’s ticketing platform the following day on Thursday, October 2nd starting at 10am PT. Remaining fans will be placed on a waitlist and notified if additional tickets become available for purchase.

  • Your tickets will be delivered digitally through Tixr. Tickets are digital-only and will appear in your Tixr account on a delayed delivery schedule. This means you won’t see your tickets right away after purchase. You’ll get a notification once they are available in your Tixr account on November 7th at 8 AM PST.

    Important: To access your tickets, you must log into the Tixr app with the same email address you used to purchase your tickets. If you log in with a different email, your tickets will not appear.

  • Digital-only tickets do not have a printable PDF and can only be accessed through your Tixr app. Each ticket has a rotating digital code that updates periodically to prevent fraud. This means screenshots or printed versions of tickets will not be accepted at the event.

  • No. Because the code changes each time, it can’t be saved to a static location like your mobile wallet and can only be accessed through the Tixr app.

  • No. Tickets are non-transferable, tied to the purchasing account, and names on tickets cannot be changed. For this reason, we strongly recommend only purchasing tickets for yourself. If you do buy multiple tickets for friends or family, you’ll need to enter the event together as a group using the tickets in your account.

  • Yes! If you can no longer attend and tickets have sold out, you’ll have the option to list your tickets for resale directly through Tixr Verified Resale. Resales are limited to face value only to ensure fairness and fan protection. If your ticket sells, it will be canceled, the buyer will receive a new ticket with a unique QR code, and you will receive your payout after the event ends. 

  • All sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for another date, time, or ticket type.

  • Log in to your Tixr account on the app or website to view your tickets in your Tixr wallet. Remember that while your order will be visible for review, the actual tickets will only appear after November 7th at 8 AM PST. If you still can’t locate them, contact Tixr Support for assistance, or visit the box office at the event with a photo ID and your order information to be checked in manually.

  • If you’re having trouble accessing your tickets on-site, visit the Box Office with your order information and a valid photo ID that matches the name on the purchase.
