How to Use Your Promo Code

What are Promo Codes?

Promo Codes save fans money on Tickets. They have an expiration date, so make sure fans know to buy Tickets before they expire. This article explains how to use a promo code to give your fans a discount on advanced tickets.

Remember, Promo Codes do not affect your artist payout. Afton eats the cost of these discounts from our cut.

Your “Confirmed Dashboard” will display any active Promo Codes that have not expired yet.
