Buying tickets second-hand? Here’s what you need to know.
Option 1: Humanitix Resale (Recommended)
This option is the easiest and most secure. Humanitix has a built-in resale function. If you don’t already have a buyer, it can be made available to the public. If you have a buyer already, it will create a private link. All tickets are sold at face value, including gift tickets (i.e, $0).
Please follow the instructions straight from the source: https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9539834-how-to-resell-your-ticket
The SHIFT team strives to maintain a group of legitimate folks in the SHIFT Festival Ticket Exchange FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/379146679239220/.
Selling or Buying a ticket from someone you know
Option 2: Transferring by renaming ticket
This option is for those who are wanting to transfer their ticket to a friend or someone you trust. By using this option the person you are transferring to will not be able to transfer the ticket again themselves. It is the least secure way of buying/selling tickets.
- Transfers can be made by editing the name on the ticket by using the “Edit Order” button in the order confirmation email you received.
Remember, the person you transferred the ticket to WILL NOT be able to edit/transfer the ticket themselves. As the original owner, only you have control. There is no cost associated with this function, but any transfer of funds is done privately between the two parties. SOAK is not responsible for mistaken/incorrect/lost ticket transfers. If you do not know or trust the person you are buying/selling from, use option 1.
This is how to edit the name on the ticket:
From HUMANITIX confirmation email:
1. Manage order > Update Order
2. Change name + email
3. Click Update
4. On the right click “Email Tickets to Attendees” and select the tickets you are transferring.
The new person on the ticket WILL NOT be able to alter any further.
5. Make sure to send the ticket to the recipient through Humanitix. You do so using the starred option through the Humanitix website and can see where to click in the following images for both desktop and mobile.
We recommend that the new ticket holder follow Tectonic on social media and/or sign up for our email list to get the latest info, tips, and safety notices about SHIFT: http://eepurl.com/gXe6UX
NOTE: Unless you use Humanitix, the buyer WILL NOT be able to edit/transfer the ticket again. They must ask you to make further changes. As the original owner, only you have control. SHIFT is not responsible for and cannot change the name on tickets. Using Humanitix is the only way to allow a new transferee complete control of their ticket, and remove any responsibility from yourself as the original owner.

Keep in mind that there are fees associated with this to the buyer and possibly to the seller.
We can’t wait to see you at SHIFT Festival!
