NFC and Apple Account Binding
TicketsWest is introducing new ticketing technology to our fan experience! NFC (Near Field Communication) and Apple Account Binding help prevent unauthorized sharing and ensure tickets stay in the hands of the fans.
What is NFC?
NFC (Near Field Communication) ticketing is commonly referred to as “Tap & Go” ticketing. NFC tickets will not display a barcode, the mobile device simply needs to be held near the scanner to validate the ticket. This is the same concept as using tap to pay. Please note that NFC technology will not work via screenshots, so all tickets must be officially transferred via My Account for event entry.

What is Apple Account Binding?
Apple Account Binding adds security to your mobile tickets by linking your TicketsWest account to your Apple ID. Each TicketsWest account can only be linked to a single Apple ID. With Apple Account Binding, tickets can only be downloaded from the TicketsWest account that is associated with the respective iPhone’s Apple ID. Forwarding emails / texts with the link to download tickets or logging into another person’s TicketsWest account will no longer work and will result in a Disabled Pass. Transferring tickets from My Account to another valid TicketsWest account is the only way to send mobile tickets to another device.
