Frequently Asked Questions

Top 5 frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the price on the ticket match the price I paid for the ticket?

As a reseller of tickets, our prices are based on supply and demand. Our prices automatically go up when an event is sold out. Sometimes a higher amount of tickets are available and the prices may be lower than the original price. We think transparency is very important. That is why we always show the original price of the tickets alongside our prices.

When will I receive my ticket?

 The tickets are usually sent to you as soon as possible. Sometimes the issuing of the tickets is delayed by the event organiser - which is often the case with sports events - which means it may take  a bit longer before we can send you your tickets. We will inform you about this in your order confirmation. We aim to deliver the tickets at least two weeks before the event.

I want to cancel my order, is that possible?

 It is not possible to cancel an already paid for reservation with Onlineticketshop. Onlineticketshop operates under European Law in which tickets are classified as leisure products and therefore are not subject to the right of withdrawal. You can read more about this on the website of the European Union.

I haven't received a confirmation of my order. What should I do?

Once you have reached our thank-you page after finishing your payment and have received an order number, your order is definitive. Even if you haven't received an order confirmation per email, but your payment was successful, your order is definitive. Do you have doubts about whether your order succeeded or do you want to receive the order confirmation? Contact our customer service before you place a new order.

Why is there another name on my ticket?

The name that you see on the tickets, is the name that we used to purchase the tickets at the event organiser. These details must be displayed on the ticket to guarantee the validity of the ticket. The tickets are not personal. This means that whoever is in possession of a ticket, has access to the event, regardless of the name displayed on the ticket. It is solely important that the unique barcode on the tickets is legible.

I have a question about the consequences of Corona virus policies for my event.

We know that a lot of governments across the globe are announcing rules and regulations regarding the Corona virus. As a result a lot of events are cancelled or postponed. We understand that you have a lot of questions about what this means for your event. Please read our Corona FAQ to learn about what happens when your event is cancelled/postponed.

Miksi lipun hinta ei vastaa hintaa, jonka maksoin lipusta?

Olemme lippujen jälleenmyyjä, ja lippujen hinta määräytyy kysynnän ja tarjonnan perusteella. Jos konsertti on loppuunmyyty, hinnat nousevat automaattisesti. Mikäli lippuja on saatavilla suurempi määrä, määrittämämme hinta voi olla lipun alkuperäista hintaa edullisempi. Lippuhintojen läpinäkyvyys on meille tärkeää, ja siksi ilmoitamme aina lippujen alkuperäisen hinnan omien hintojemme yhteydessä.

What happens when an event is rescheduled?

When an event is rescheduled, you will receive an email from us with information about the changes. If you are unable to attend on the new date, we will ask you to let us know, so that we can cancel your order. In many cases, the tickets remain valid for the new date. If this is not the case, you will receive new tickets from us.

Football matches
Match day and times can be changed up until right before the match. We would like to point out that in the case of football matches you purchase a ticket for a specific match of which the match day and starting times are not necessarily fixed. Our advice is to plan your trip and stay well around the match. We will keep you updates as well as possible, but we recommend that you also keep an eye on the club's website for any possible last-minute changes.

Are my seats adjacent to one another?

When you select the tickets, we explicitly mention whether the tickets are adjacent to one another. When it is not shown, we unfortunately cannot guarantee that all seats will be adjacent. We will do our utmost best to deliver your order in at least pairs or trios, so that no one has to sit by themselves.

Why can I order only certain numbers of tickets for an event?

What we offer is based on what we have in stock, which means that we sometimes only offer certain numbers of tickets for an event. If you would still like to order an unselectable number of tickets, please contact our customer service department and we will do our best to arrange it for you.

I haven't received a confirmation of my order. What should I do?

Once you have reached our thank-you page after finishing your payment and have received an order number, your order is definitive. Even if you haven't received an order confirmation per email, but your payment was successful, your order is definitive. Do you have doubts about whether your order succeeded or do you want to receive the order confirmation? Contact our customer service before you place a new order.

I want to change my order, is that possible?

It is possible to change the delivery address for your tickets, as long as they have not yet been sent. If you would like to change your details, please contact our customer service department. We prefer to receive address changes by email to prevent spelling mistakes. 

Changing the order itself (to another event or date, for example) is only possible in consultation with our customer service department. If you would like to change your order, please contact our customer service department.

Why do I have to give my personal information for the personalisation of the tickets?

For some events, the tickets have to be personalised. This means that the name of the ticketholder should be on the ticket. There is often an identity check at the entrance. If the name on the ticket does not match the name on the ID, there is a chance that you will be denied access. At some events it is possible to have the name of the buyer om multiple tickets. This does mean that all other persons must enter the venue at the same time as the ticketholder.

To be able to execute the personalisation of the tickets, we often need additional information about you and the people who will be attending the event with you. You will be informed in the order confirmation about how you can provide us with the information. Naturally, we handle your information as strictly confidential.

What is a ticket reseller?

 A ticket reseller functions as an intermediary between the event organiser and you as the consumer. We buy our tickets with reliable supplies. Our prices are based on supply and demand. When a concert is sold out, the prices are automatically a bit higher. Sometimes there is a larger number of tickets available and the prices may be lower than the original face value. We are always transparent regarding the price difference by stating the original price of the ticket under the price that we ask.

How does Onlineticketshop guarantee that a ticket is valid?

Onlineticketshop only supplies official, unique and therefore valid tickets for concerts, shows and other events. The unique bar code, that is printed on the ticket, will grant you admission to the event. Additionally we offer a ticket guarantee. Read more about that here
