Answers to common questions about tickets, refunds and resale.

Tickets & entry

Why does my QR code keep changing?

Your entry code refreshes every 30 seconds and is cancelled the moment it's scanned. This stops screenshots, forwarded images and cloned tickets from getting in.

Can I print my ticket?

Open your ticket in the GatePlus app or website at the gate. Printed or screenshotted codes expire within a minute and will be refused.

My phone died at the gate

Head to the box office with your photo ID — staff can look up your verified booking.

Refunds

What happens if an event is cancelled?

Refunds follow the event's policy shown at checkout and are returned automatically to your original payment method.

How do I request a refund?

Open the ticket in your wallet and choose “Request a refund”. No email or phone call needed.

Transfers & official resale

Can I give my ticket to a friend?

Yes — use “Transfer” on the ticket. Your friend needs a GatePlus account, and a fresh code is issued to them.

Is it safe to buy tickets on WhatsApp or Facebook?

No. Off-platform tickets can't be validated and are a common scam. Use official resale — every listing is escrow-verified and price-capped.

For organizers

How long does verification take?

Usually one business day. We check business registration and identity to prevent fake events.

When do I get paid?

Payouts are settled in LKR after the event, minus platform fees, to your verified bank account.

Privacy (PDPA)

What data do you keep?

Only what's needed to issue and validate tickets, and financial records required by Sri Lankan law. Card numbers are handled entirely by our licensed payment gateway.

Can I delete my data?

Yes — request deletion from Account → Security & privacy. Records we must keep by law are anonymised.

Terms

Purchase limits

Each event has a limit per verified identity (mobile number, and NIC/passport for some events) — not per account — to keep tickets fair.
