Those receiving the wishlist can easily purchase any available items from the wishlist and transfer them to the list creator as a gift. Available for all Live Nation shows ticketed by Ticketmaster or Live Nation in the United States and Canada only.

How do I remove an event from my wishlist?
To remove an item from your wishlist, click on the trash bin icon located to the right of the event listing.
How do I know if an event on my wishlist has been purchased for me?
If the item has been purchased and the buyer manually marks it as such, it will be indicated as "PURCHASED" in green on your wishlist. Check your wishlist to see if your events have been marked as purchased.
Can I mark an event as purchased in my own list if I know someone bought tickets for me?
No, the purchaser will need to be the one to mark the event as purchased from the public view. You can, however, delete the event from your list so it no longer shows up on your public list.
How do I know if an event is no longer eligible for purchase?
Once an event has concluded, it will be displayed as disabled (grayed out) and will then be removed two weeks after an event has played off. Those receiving your wishlist will not see any past events listed.
What if the event is postponed or canceled?
Canceled or postponed events will be updated in the wishlist with a disclaimer that reflects their current status.
Can any/all events be added to my wishlist?
Our wishlist feature includes all Live Nation events ticketed by Ticketmaster or Live Nation in the United States and Canada only. For events with non-transferable tickets, they can be added to your wishlist for personal viewing and purchasing only.
Those who receive your wishlist will not see non-transferable events listed on the public view for purchase since they wouldn’t be able to transfer them to the person they’re purchasing for.
How do I know if a ticket is non-transferable?
Non-transferable tickets will feature a disclaimer stating that tickets for the event are not available for transfer at that time. Those making a wishlist can still add non-transferable events but those receiving the wishlist will not see those events listed as an option for purchase.
Note: Non-transferable tickets will not be visible on the buyer view but will be visible on the wishlist creators view with the flag/disclaimer.
