Ticketmaster announced today that it will be the first ticketing company to use Apple's updated Apple Wallet Tickets for iOS 18. With the improved tickets, you'll be able to view event information “like a venue map and parking details, recommended playlists “. from Apple Music, local Weather forecasts and easy access to location sharing to help fans find their friends when they arrive.” ticketmaster says. Venues and teams will also be able to add links to their app or website.
The first Ticketmaster event to use the upgraded tickets will be the Los Angeles Football Club's Oct. 19 match at BMO Stadium. Ticketmaster says the Miami Heat will be “next to debut” the new ticket experience, although the company didn't say exactly when that might happen. The improved ticket experience will be “more widely available” next year.
We asked Ticketmaster if they can share more details about the wider releases.
