Physical

FedEx 

The traditional paper or “hard” ticket that has existed for dozens of years. Physical tickets usually include a barcode that must be scanned in order to gain entry to the event.
LocalPickupPhysical tickets are generally shipped via FedEx, but in some cases may need to be picked up by the consumer at the venue’s Will Call or a location near the venue. The seller will provide the exact location after the order is accepted.

Eticket

Eticket

These tickets are generally PDF files that the consumer will download and print out to take to the event and generally include a barcode that must be scanned in order to gain entry to the event.

Sometimes the seller will provide a PDF of the mobile entry ticket images. These must be displayed on a mobile phone so the barcodes can be scanned for entry. The venue will not allow entry if these are printed on paper.

TM_mobile

TMMobile

Mobile Entry is rapidly becoming the most prolific way tickets are distributed. The tickets purchased will be transferred to the consumer's email address. The consumer must then accept the transfer and then be prepared to show the tickets on their mobile device in order to gain entry to the event. Learn more from Ticketmaster.

Flash_seats

FlashSeats

Flash Seats is very similar to TM Mobile Entry. Learn more from Flash Seats.

Paperless

FedEx

For some events, no actual tickets are issued and instead the credit card that originally purchased the tickets must be scanned in order to gain entry to the event. Learn more from Ticketmaster. In most cases a gift card with instructions will be sent to the consumer via FedEx and the consumer will use that gift card to gain entry to the event. The gift card does not need to be returned after the event and may be discarded.

LocalPickup

In some cases it may be too late to ship the gift card required for entry and the Client may need to be picked up by the consumer at the venue’s Will Call or a location near the venue. The seller will provide the exact location after the order is accepted.
PaperlessIn other cases the consumer may need to meet a representative of the company selling the tickets at the venue and the representative will walk the consumer through the process of entering the event.
String
in_hand and in_hand_date

in_hand is a boolean property that indicates if the Seller has the tickets in their possession and can initiate the delivery process now. Since many sports teams announce their schedules before they deliver tickets to their season ticket holders the Sellers may have purchased the tickets but not yet received them from the team. Similarly, tickets for some other events may be sold but not yet delivered.

If in_hand is false then in_hand_date will be the date on which the Seller expects to be able to initiate the delivery process.

Boolean

Date
