We strongly discourage purchasing tickets from a 3rd party reseller. Sometimes they sell real tickets, sometimes they’re scams. If you purchase from a reseller the venue will not be able to validate your ticket until you arrive at the show. 

Your AXS Mobile ID is the secure and unique code for all of your tickets, and all you need is the AXS app to use it (iOS or Android). No paper tickets required. Simply show your tickets on your phone using the AXS app to enter the venue. Download the AXS app through the App Store or on Google Play and create an account using the email you used for your order.

Transferring tickets is easy through the AXS app. A ticket transfer allows you to digitally give each guest in your party their own ticket via AXS Mobile ID. With seat transfers, you no longer need to worry about delivering the paper tickets to them in advance or meeting them outside of the doors to walk in together. There is no fee for transferring seats and you are allowed unlimited transfers. Your guests will need to create an AXS account to receive tickets. Guests can transfer the tickets back to you if they can’t attend or you can cancel the transfer if they have yet to set up their AXS account. If they already have an AXS account set up the tickets will go in their account automatically. More information here: https://www.jamusa.com/about/axs-mobile-id#
