Questions about entering the venue
How do I get into the arena?
Flash Seats eliminates paper tickets! Instead of a paper ticket, you can enter with the Flash Seats mobile app on your phone or choose any convenient form of digital ID (credit card or driver's license) as your method of getting in to the arena. Your card will be swiped by a Guest Services Representative using a handheld device. You will receive a Seat Locator identifying your seats. It's really fast! Remember that the Seat Locator simply shows the location of your seats in the arena; it is not a ticket and cannot be used for re-entry into the arena. With Flash Seats, your ID is what gets you into the arena.

How can I be sure my tickets are good?
Teams and venues that allow their tickets to be sold on Flash Seats endorse it as their official secondary marketplace.

Does each person need their own ID?
No, each person does not have to have their own ID. You can swipe in your entire party with a single swipe or scan of any ID associated with the account. The Guest Services Representative will ask how many people are with you when you swipe your card. If you have guests that will arrive separately from you, you can transfer them each a ticket. This allows them to create their own Flash Seats account and enter with their own ID when they arrive.
