Or you can display the ticket barcode onto your mobile phone, just make sure you have turned up the brightness on your phone display. It is fine to separate barcodes, if people using the eTickets wish to arrive at different times, please ensure that you have one barcode per person as each QR barcode is scanned as an individual ticket upon entry to the event.

The person who purchased the tickets will need to present valid photo ID, matching the name on the order, at the venue to gain entry to the event. We only attach one name to each order for collection, so please note that if an order is for multiple tickets, everyone will need to arrive together to gain access to the event.

Registered Post:
Oztix will post your tickets to you via Registered Australian Post. Upon delivery, a signature is required from a resident at that address to acknowledge receipt of the tickets. If no one is available to sign to receive the tickets, Australia Post will leave a card informing you that they unsuccessfully attempted to deliver to your address. The card will instruct you to collect from your local Australia Post Office. The tickets will be addressed to the person who purchased the tickets, as such they will be required to present valid photo ID at the Post Office, along with the card to collect the tickets.

Registered Australia Post usually takes between 5 and 7 business days to arrive.

If you have not received your tickets after 10 business days please enter the Australia Post Tracking Number, provided to you via email at the time of placing your order, via the Australia Post website, or call Australia Post on 13 13 18 ext 2 to enquire as to the location of your tickets.

Please see the following link for our full Terms & Conditions

Q: Why isn't my order being processed?
A: There may be several reasons for an order not processing correctly. Should you experience a known problem during the purchase process, Oztix will inform you of the problem by a message which appears in a red box at the top of your screen. Common issues faced are:

"Tickets are reserved"
This may be due to several reasons, such as the event being highly popular or close to selling out. This error occurs when all available tickets are reserved by other customers, and they are yet to complete their transaction. Please continue to attempt purchase. If the ticket type or event is sold out, you will see an "allocation exhausted" or "tickets unavailable" message.

"Processing Error"
This may be due to several reasons such as, a busy payment gateway or bank. It may be because you accidentally entered incorrect credit card details or you are attempting to use a payment method or card we do not accept. Please double check that your payment method is Visa, MasterCard or PayPal and that you have entered the correct information - then wait a moment and try again.

"Invalid account number"
Please double check that your payment method is Visa, MasterCard or PayPal and you have entered the correct information - then wait a moment and try again. Please note: Oztix does not accept AMEX® or Diners Club® cards.

"Timeout waiting for Processor response - Bank timed out"
This error has occurred because our bank has indicated that it is currently 'busy'. This happens when your bank or financial institution is experiencing high demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a moment and then try to process your order again. If you continue to experience this problem please contact us here and we will do our best to resolve the situation.

"Declined" and "Insufficient funds available"
Unfortunately, your credit card has been declined. This could be due to several reasons – the most probable is that you have insufficient funds. If you continue to have a problem and you are certain you do have sufficient funds please contact your bank, or try using another card.

"Referral"
This means your bank will not automatically allow funds to be processed through our system and has most likely put those funds on hold. It may seem that the funds have left your account, however in most cases we have not received the funds and it is being held by your bank awaiting additional authorization. You should contact your bank for further information.

"No response from Payment Gateway"
The error occurs when the payment gateway indicates that it is currently 'busy'. This can be due to many reasons, however the most common reason is the payment gateway is experiencing high demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a few moments and then try again.

If you continue to experience problems, after contacting your bank, please contact us here during normal business hours for further assistance.

Q: Why can't I purchase more than 8 tickets?
A: As a conscientious ticketing agent, we take the issue of illegal ticket scalping very seriously. One of the many measures we have put in place is an 8 ticket per customer order limit. This ensures that anyone attempting to engage in illegal scalping cannot buy more than a reasonable number of tickets. This limit may be occasionally increased or decreased under instruction from the event promoter.

Q: Can I re-sell my tickets?
A: If you cannot attend an event for legitimate reasons and want to sell your ticket via an online auction site, trading post or Social Media forum, Oztix will not object to your sale if the sell price is no more than the face value of the original ticket price (i.e., what you paid for the ticket). The event promoter may however have a different policy when it comes to ticket resale and we urge you to review their terms and conditions, which may differ to the advice we give here. We recommend reselling your tickets via Tixel, the authorised and safe resale platform Tixel.

Q: Can I buy tickets if I am based overseas?
A: Yes. Overseas customers are required to enter address details as best you can, and include an Australian State or Territory in the relevant field to enable the order to be processed. Oztix does not post tickets to international addresses; therefore you must select one of these delivery options: Barcoded eTicket or Venue Collection.

Q: I purchased a ticket off a 3rd Party; can I check if it is valid?
A: Oztix does not support tickets purchased via any 3rd party. Purchasing tickets from any 3rd party is discouraged and you do so at your own risk. Oztix accepts no responsibility for issues which arise as result of ticket purchases from any 3rd parties. Oztix recommends you always purchase tickets from authorised ticket agents and not resellers. We cannot verify the authenticity of tickets purchased via any other channel other than the Oztix ticketing system. We recommend reselling your tickets via Tixel, the authorised and safe resale platform (https://tixel.com/au/).

Q: Do you accept Companion Cards?
A: This will vary by event. Please contact the venue for clarity on their Companion Card policy for each event.
