Can't add tickets to my wallet with TicketMaster app

Phone is updated to 16.6 I have purchased tickets with my ticketmaster app but it will not let me add my tickets to my wallet. Even tried logging in thru safai and it still doesn't work. The message I get every single time I try to add to my wallet..... "Unable to Add Pass. Your pass could not be added to Wallet at this time. Try again later." Anyone else having this issue?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Same issue too and it is frustrating! Apple says that the issue is with Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster says that the issue is with Apple..Can someone just create an update to fix this? I have an iPhone 14 and iOS 16.6 and I transferred my tickets to someone with an older iPhone and they had no problem adding these tickets to their Apple Wallet..I tried everything (restarting phone; talking with tech supports; going to tech supports) and see that this is an issue with many of the new iPhones...Is it time to go Android?

Ticketmaster support is wrong. Of course the issues aren’t listed, because they have no clue. No other ticket issuer has issues like Ticketmaster does. Do you see any posts about tickets from Delta, American, Southwest etc? No, because their apps work and have higher security restrictions than Ticketmaster.


They update their app at least once a month trying to fix bugs and it’s not enough. They need better software developers and support team members that work with their customers. Passing the buck saying buy an Android is not an example of supporting their app.😀

Issue is not about getting it into Apple Wallet but once the tickets are IN Apple Wallet, it cannot be activated. Also, not a Ticketmaster App issue was I could transfer the ticket from the APP or the website, and the result is the same. I also use the tickets directly from my Ticketmaster App, but what do I do with events/concerts in remote locations with weak cell connections? I called Ticketmaster customer support, and ultimately after going through their "list of causes", he suggested that I purchase a Google phone just for concert tickets.

I’ve figured my problem for this issue a punch of troubleshooting steps. I’m putting it here in case anyone needed it.


My problem is that the Apple Wallet app is not turn on to use in cellular mode. After I turned it on, I was able to add it to wallet.


Here’s the troubleshooting list I try:

- Latest version of the ticket app

- Latest version of IOS

- VPN or any types of proxy is not turn on

- Ticket previously has not been added to a different Apple Wallet

- Wallet app is not turned on in Cellular (Setting > Cellular > Apple Wallet app turn on)

Another problem is when Ticketmaster tickets are sold by another venue.


I just dealt with this headache for tickets sold by the United Center that were transferred to one person who is attending the event.


Even if you know you're dealing with Ticketmaster tickets, you may need the venue's app to view the tickets.


In our case, we needed the United Center app to view the tickets. I finally told the group leader to give up on loading the tickets into Apple Wallet & just use the United Center app.

I can’t say it’s all on Apple but the issue began, for me, with an update last year and was rectified with a future update. But with the last 2-3 updates the issue started all over again, so that would lead me to believe it’s a bug with Apple that isn’t being fixed.


I can’t speak for 17.4.1 as I have not needed tickets since updated this past week but 17.4 still caused the issue.


So, I’m not a software engineer but looks like primarily an Apple software issue.
