Are you ready to unlock exclusive access to some of the hottest concerts, sports events, and entertainment experiences? If you're a Verizon customer, you're in luck! Verizon offers incredible presale opportunities that can get you tickets before the general public, often for in-demand events that sell out in minutes. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of accessing Verizon presale tickets, ensuring you're ready when those highly sought-after tickets drop.
Let's dive in and make sure you're fully prepared to snag those amazing seats!
Step 1: Confirm Your Verizon Eligibility and Set Up "myAccess"
The very first and most crucial step is to ensure you're eligible for Verizon's presale benefits and have access to their dedicated portal.
Sub-heading: Are You Eligible?
Not all Verizon plans automatically qualify, though most postpaid smartphone or tablet accounts in good standing do. Generally, you need to be:
18 years or older.
A resident of the United States (excluding Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands).
Have a smartphone or tablet on an active standard monthly Verizon mobile phone account in good standing.
It's important to note that lines with devices or plans meant for children under 18 may not be eligible. If you're unsure, it's always best to check the official Verizon myAccess FAQs.
Sub-heading: Accessing "myAccess" – Your Gateway to Presales
Verizon's exclusive offers, including presale tickets, are primarily found within a feature called "myAccess." This is where you'll browse, discover, and claim your presale opportunities.
Via My Verizon App (Recommended): This is often the easiest and most convenient way.
Download the My Verizon app if you haven't already.
Sign in with your Verizon account credentials.
From the "Me" tab, scroll down to "My savings & benefits" and select "myAccess." Look for an icon that might say "myAccess" or "Verizon Access."
Via My Verizon Online: You can also access it through a web browser.
Go to the official Verizon website.
Sign in to your My Verizon account.
From the top of the Verizon homepage, select "Account" > "More" > "myAccess."
Enrollment in myAccess isn't required in the traditional sense; if you're eligible, it's already available when you sign into your My Verizon account.
Step 2: Explore Upcoming Presale Opportunities
Once you're in myAccess, it's time to see what exciting events are on the horizon.
Sub-heading: Navigating the "Exclusive Access" Section
Within myAccess, you'll want to specifically look for the "Exclusive Access" section. This is typically where presale ticket windows are highlighted.
Look for "Presale ticket window": This section will list active events for which Verizon customers have early access.
Keep an eye on "Local Passes" and "Select Seats": While not strictly presales, these sections also offer exclusive opportunities for Verizon customers, sometimes during the general public on-sale. Local Passes are first-come, first-served for exclusive experiences, while Select Seats are specific reserved tickets for Verizon customers.
Sub-heading: Staying Informed – Proactive Steps
Presale opportunities can appear and disappear quickly, so staying informed is key.
Check myAccess Regularly: New offers and presales are added frequently. Make it a habit to check the app or website whenever you're looking for tickets.
Enable Notifications: Ensure your My Verizon app notifications are enabled. Verizon may send push notifications or emails about upcoming presales relevant to your location or interests.
Follow Verizon on Social Media: Sometimes, presale announcements or hints are dropped on Verizon's official social media channels.
Link Accounts Early: Some presales, especially those through Ticketmaster or Live Nation, require you to link your Verizon account to your Ticketmaster/Live Nation account before the presale begins. This is a critical step to avoid delays on the day of the sale.
Step 3: Preparing for the Presale Drop
Presales are often a fast-paced game. Being prepared can make all the difference between getting tickets and missing out.
Sub-heading: Research the Event Details
Before the presale time arrives, gather all the necessary information about the event you're interested in.
Exact Date and Time of Presale: This is paramount. Double-check the time zone!
Ticket Limits: Most presales have a limit on the number of tickets you can purchase (e.g., 4 tickets per event for Verizon presales, though the artist or venue might set a lower limit).
Pricing Tiers and Seating Charts: If available, familiarize yourself with the venue's seating chart and the potential price ranges for different sections. This helps you make quick decisions during the sale.
Required Registration: For some highly anticipated events, registration might be required in advance for a chance to purchase presale tickets. Always check myAccess for events that state "register in advance for a chance to purchase Presale tickets." If so, you'll be directed to the Ticketmaster/Live Nation site to complete this registration.
Sub-heading: Technical Readiness
Ensure your devices and internet connection are ready for action.
Stable Internet Connection: Use a reliable Wi-Fi connection, or if you're on the go, ensure you have strong cellular data.
Updated Apps and Browser: Make sure your My Verizon app and any associated ticketing apps (like Ticketmaster or Live Nation) are updated to their latest versions. If using a browser, ensure it's a modern, well-performing one.
Login Credentials Handy: Have your Verizon account login and your linked Ticketmaster/Live Nation account login details readily available. You don't want to be fumbling with passwords when tickets are selling out.
Payment Information Prepared: Have your credit card information saved or easily accessible for a quick checkout.
Step 4: Executing the Presale Purchase
The moment of truth! When the presale goes live, act quickly and efficiently.
Sub-heading: The Presale Process
Follow these steps as soon as the presale window opens.
Access myAccess: Go into the My Verizon app or website and navigate to the "myAccess" section.
Locate the Event: Scroll to the "Exclusive Access" section and select the "Presale ticket window." Find the active event you're interested in.
Select Date and Location: If there are multiple dates or locations for the event, choose your preferred one.
Click "Get Tickets": This will typically redirect you to the Ticketmaster or Live Nation website.
Log in/Link Accounts (if not already done): You'll be prompted to sign in to your Ticketmaster/Live Nation account. Crucially, you'll also be prompted to link your My Verizon account to unlock your presale access. Do this immediately if you haven't already.
Enter the Presale Code (if applicable): Sometimes, the redirect from Verizon automatically applies the code. Other times, you may need to manually enter a presale code. The code is often the first few digits of your Verizon phone number, or a specific code provided in myAccess or a Verizon email. Pay close attention to any instructions on the Ticketmaster/Live Nation page.
Select Your Tickets: Quickly choose your desired seats/tickets. Be prepared for a queue system. Do not refresh your page if you are in a queue.
Complete Purchase: Proceed to checkout, enter payment information, and confirm your purchase.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting Tips During the Sale
Page Freezing/Errors: If the page freezes or you encounter errors, do not refresh repeatedly. Try opening a new tab or browser window and starting the process again. Sometimes, a brief wait can resolve temporary issues.
Code Not Working: Double-check that you're entering the code exactly as provided (case-sensitive if applicable). Ensure your Verizon and Ticketmaster/Live Nation accounts are properly linked.
Tickets Vanishing: In high-demand sales, tickets can disappear from your cart if you take too long to check out. Be swift!
Step 5: Post-Purchase Confirmation and Management
Congratulations, you've secured your tickets! Now, a few final steps.
Sub-heading: Confirm Your Purchase
Check Email Confirmation: You should receive an email confirmation from Ticketmaster/Live Nation (or the relevant ticketing platform) immediately after your purchase. This is your official proof of tickets.
Verify in Account: Log in to your Ticketmaster/Live Nation account to confirm the tickets are listed there.
Sub-heading: Managing Your Tickets
Mobile Tickets: Most tickets are now mobile-only. Ensure you understand how to access and display your mobile tickets on your phone for entry into the event.
Transferring Tickets: If you purchased tickets for others, familiarize yourself with the transfer options provided by the ticketing platform.
Be Aware of Resale Policies: Understand the platform's policies regarding resale if your plans change.
