How do I transfer tickets to someone?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Sporting event tickets (e.g. Notre Dame tickets) are blocked from being shared from Apple Wallet. But you still have a few options. Some are more “official” than others…
1) You can login to your ticket account app (not Apple Wallet…probably an app with your Team’s name). Within that app, you should see an option to officially and legally transfer the tickets. Be advised, the person you’re transferring to will need their own login to the team’s ticketing app, in order to accept the transfer and see the ticket on their phone. This is preferred for transferring to friends. It’s free to do, so this is the best option. If you want to charge a friend, you’ll have to collect your money the old fashioned way.
2) Most teams have partnered with StubHub. (Why this isn’t a violation of anti-trust laws is a topic for a different post). You should see an option to “sell on StubHub” OR worst case, you should be able to type the ticket barcode into StubHub and post them electronically. StubHub will take it from there. (And when I say take it, I mean it. They’ll also take their requisite 15-20% commissions on both the buy side and sell side). Be advised that if the tickets haven’t been officially transferred to you, the original owner will be able to see they were posted to StubHub
3) From your Apple Wallet, with the ticket open, just take a screenprint of it. You can do this by pressing the Volume Up + Power button at the same time. The picture will be saved to your Photos app and you’ll be able to send it via text or email, same as any picture. This is not technically “allowed,” although I don’t think there is much teams can do to prevent it. Be advised, once you send a screenprint, that is essentially a replica, so the first person to enter the game with that barcode will render other replicas void and useless.
Keep in mind, the option to transfer from Apple Wallet is hidden by design by the teams. They don’t want people transferring tickets from Apple Wallet. They want people transferring tickets in the “preferred way” through the team’s ticketing app.
This requires authentication / signin. It also allows the teams to track transfers (I.e. Big Brother is watching). This is all intentional.
See example for Indianapolis Colts on how to “correctly” transfer tickets.

I found a solution that worked for me. I'm in Michigan and Ticketmaster has events at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions but there are concerts, Supercross Motorcycle Events, and other events at this venue.
There's Ticketmaster proper - both web site and an app. I have the app on my iPhone.
There's also a Detroit Lions-specific Account Management tool which appears to be some sort of overlay I'll call it, for lack of better term. I happened upon there being a linkage between them when I was following instructions in the earlier part of this thread.
My friend bought a group of tickets so we could all sit together. I received my 2 tickets via email link. Clicked the link and accepted the tickets while on my computer. I didn't make note if the link took me directly into Ticketmaster or into this overlay thingy I mentioned a minute ago. Tickets showed up, then gave me an option to add them to my Apple Wallet which I promptly did.
I ended up with 3 suite tickets, so I no longer wanted to keep the 2 I already bought but I found a friend who was willing to take them off my hands for a great deal (less than face value) so I wouldn't get stuck with 2 extras that weren't going to be used.
I found this thread and tried to follow instructions but like others, there wasn't a 'transfer' option which I have indeed seen when tapping the 3 dots in the past. It seems there are events where the transfer feature is not available in the Apple Wallet. So here's what I did:
1 - Go to Apple Wallet
2 - Tap the 3 dots in upper right corner of each ticket
3 - Remove from Wallet
4 - Go to Ticketmaster app on my computer (it may also work on your iPhone but it's so much easier to do this on a computer)
5 - Search Ticketmaster for instructions how to accept tickets and see if you can locate an option to accept tickets by either Ticketmaster app, or a related overlay which for me, said Detroit Lions with the team logo on it. NOTE: The Apple App Store does not have a separate app, so I would have never found this option had I not been searching the Ticketmaster site for instructions how to locate tickets after removing them from the Apple Wallet.
6 - If you can find the alternative link which should be something you can locate inside the Ticketmaster site instructions, once you click on that alternative, you may find another browser tab like I did where you can instantly see your tickets. Mine were sitting there, plain as day along with my 3 suite tickets for Ford Field.
The logo on this overlay page was still inside the Ticketmaster app. I only know this because I did not have to log in with a userID and password. The system could tell it was me because of the ticket info in this page.
From this page, execute 7.
7 - Transfer tickets to the email address of your ticket recipient. If they have a Ticketmaster account, use that email address but if not, they'll get an email from you anyway with a link.
8 - Ticket recipient will click the link in the email which will take them to a site where they can accept the tickets. Again, when I received my tickets originally, I can't recall if the site was Ticketmaster proper or this overlay like space that's branded with Detroit Lions logo on the page but it's definitely related to Ticketmaster.
Hope this helps and if does, you might wish to up-vote it so the full instructions can appear for anyone having the same question about how to transfer tickets from the Apple Wallet which originated from Ticketmaster.
This reply worked for me, I didn't have the option to share because it was for a sporting event. I was able to log into my account with the ticket issuer though and easily transfer the tickets for free to a phone number or email.
Even though tickets are in your Apple wallet, you go to the live nation app, My tickets. Click on the concert, and you have the option to sell or transfer ticket.
Had theater tics that I bought from Ticketmaster and then put in my Wallet
had the same problem with no way to transfer. Screenshot is Great But I went back to Ticketmaster and they had a Transfer Button
To Transfer tickets from your Apple Wallet you must go into your wallet, select the ticket(s) you want to transfer and REMOVE IT from your wallet. This will send it back to whatever agency you transferred control of it from in the first place. In my case it was Ticket Master with the Bills. Wait a few minutes, then go to that agency, make sure you log out if you are logged in, and log in again. Follow your agency's process for transferring tickets and you'll be good. I just did this with three tickets with the Bills help people on the line because I was terrified to lose the tickets entirely. Good luck.
Thanks- I found that by going back to the Trainline App the etickets were still there and I could share from there. ‘Remove Pass’ option in the wallet may also allow sharing from the app.
pity sharing isn’t possible from the wallet options.
I had this problem and this was my found solution. I went to my wallet, found the ticket (s), pressed the 3 dots in the top right corner, then clicked "remove pass". The pass then was reverted back to the original app that allowed me to put it in my wallet. With it reverted back to the original issuer, I was then able to transfer it from that application. Good luck!
On the iPhone there’s a slim chance it will let you through the wallet app.
just sign into ticketsmaster and it will give you an option to transfer or sell.
Easy Peezy.
You DO have a "share" option, but it's not written down like the "remove" option, it's the usual "share" icon on Apple. You will find it on the upper right corner, check the images on the latest answer before you. :-)
If you bought through TicketMaster , use can the app to either transfer or sell the tickets that way . Going to try this shortly and update
Doing the screenshot of the ticket or item with barcode seems like a brilliant solution. Then you can easily send the “photo” of the barcode. No reason that barcode wouldn’t be accepted.
