Why is my order pending approval?
Updated 2026-07-24
Some events — members-only nights, secret events, or events that vet guests — ask the organizer to approve orders before they're confirmed.
What "pending" means
- Your order shows Pending / Approval while the organizer reviews it.
- You haven't been charged yet for a pending order.
- When the organizer approves, your order confirms and your ticket becomes active in Tickets.
- If it's declined, you won't be charged.
Speed it up
Approval is the organizer's call. If you've been waiting or need it sorted before the event, reach out to them directly (see Contact the organizer).
