How to move a .pkpasses file on my Mac to Apple Wallet on my iPhone

When buying event tickets from a 3rd party vendor (Cur8) over the web, I ended up with a .pkpasses file on my Mac and I can't figure out how to move it into Apple Wallet on my iPhone. The vendor only allows "resend tickets" to email, but because the credit card used was my mother's it only goes to her email account -- and for a bunch of technical reasons, neither of us has been able to print the darn things. Any advice/pointers on how to get the digital passes into Apple Wallet on my iPhonewould be apprciated! Systems: M1 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.1.1, iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18.3.1

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Sorry, you can’t do it. It’s designed to work with email which is secure. Contact the business you purchased them from and see what they suggest.

When the passes are in Wallet, I can simply bring them up on my phone at the door -- like any other pass/ticket. "How are you going to get them in your Wallet app?" is EXACTLY what I am asking. My phone is not set up to handle email and I need to keep it that way.

What do you hope to do once they are on your iPhone? How are you going to get them in your Wallet app? Have you tried forwarding the email to your iPhone?
