Iowa State App Ticket Issues

Try turning your phone to read ticket horizontally. The add to Apple Wallet button showed up for me by doing that. It was not showing up with ticket showing vertically. Weird. I know.

The button is there. She presses the button, it does the face scan and then says "there's an error try again later"

Her google research indicates its a common ticketmaster problem.
 
When I did this the first time for volleyball, I think it said the scan, too, but it wasn’t possible. I had no issues with volleyball either time this weekend, but haven’t tried FB yet. Guess I should.
 
My ticket is in the ISU app, but not Ticketmaster. I'm still not able to move my ticket from the ISU app to apple wallet. I get a screen that says Ticketmaster requires a face ID for security enhancement. Click in Continue, and it says Pass cannot be added to wallet. Try again later. I've logged out and and back in of both apps and still no luck. At this point I'm probably going to open my ticket in the app before I even get to Ames and hope it stays live throughout tailgating

That's the issue my wife is having with her ticket

If we need facial scans, I’m probably screwed. I have 5 phones and of course mine never gets updated, kids and wife seem to break theirs somehow, so I’m working the iPhone 8 still.

Sounds like free admission for everyone to the game Saturday! Anyone that says they can't get their tickets to download gets in free. I just wish it meant 75,000 for attendance.
 
I had trouble because I didn’t recognize the icon or message right smack in the middle of the screen is a button. It would help if it said “click here”.
 
There is another thread about these issues now too. My tickets are not on the app but when I bypass the app and go right to ticketmaster they are there.

I am afraid to try and move them to a wallet. I could accidentally delete them.

I taught high school for 25 years but as an old man I went through college so long ago I never used a computer. I had to learn what I know on the job.

There's really no way you can delete your tickets by moving them to a wallet... it's 2, maybe 3 buttons, it's very easy/clear, and I don't see how it'd even be possible to delete them while doing so.

We were all told by the techies on here it was all going to be just fine…. will work great…. and that we were all just ‘get off my lawn’ oldies.

Sounds like it’s going to be a total s**t show.

Not a sh*t show at all, it works fine & just as intended. A couple people not able to figure it out doesn't qualify as a sh*t show... Call the ticket office & have them walk you through it if you're having issues..
 
sort of off topic but for those of you who know-

if im selling mobile pass tickets- i cant transfer them until i get them assigned, correct? so probably Friday?

I'm using my apple wallet on my iphone 13 and only about half of my season tickets downloaded. I've tried multiple times. All of the parking passes downloaded for some reason. Luckily my tickets to UNI and Iowa downloaded, so I have some time to figure it out.

I'm tech savvy, and no, it's not working as intended. And I can guarantee you it's more than a couple people. Not everyone who is having issues with it gets on message boards. A quick google search will show you this has been an issue with Ticketmaster for at least a couple years. That said, I was able transfer FB tickets to apple wallet last year with the same phone, Iphone 14 plus, so it's not a user issue :). Crossing fingers that I'll be able to transfer my ticket to apple wallet by Friday. If not, I'm going to make sure my ticket is opened on the app before I even get to Ames Saturday morning.

I had an issue this weekend as I tested the volleyball game ticket. The ISU app didn't work, so I logged into my account through the ISU athletics website. Was able to download the ticket to the wallet.

Still get an error in the app that says need to link accounts to access ticketmaster tickets. But there's nothing there to do further action. Haven't had that issue previously.
 
Maybe I’m the exception, but my tickets were available a couple of weeks ago and I had zero problems downloading to Apple Wallet. Same with parking pass. The big caveat…I didn’t use the ISU app. I went straight to ticketmaster.
