Tickets

5 answers

  • How do I get my tickets after I pay?

    Your tickets land in two places: your email inbox (PDF with QR code) and the My Tickets section of your TikoHUB account. Sign in with the same email or phone you used to book.

  • Can I transfer a ticket to a friend?

    Yes. Open the ticket in My Tickets, tap Transfer, enter your friend's email or phone. They get a fresh QR code and yours is voided. Transfers are free up to 2 hours before doors open.

  • I lost my ticket email — what now?

    Sign in and go to My Tickets — your ticket is always there. Or email support@tikohub.co.ke with the phone number you booked with and we'll resend within minutes.

  • Do I need ID at the gate?

    For 18+ events and high-demand shows, yes. The name on your ID should match the buyer name on the booking. Organizers reserve the right of admission.

  • Can I just take a screenshot of my ticket?

    It might work, but the QR can only be scanned once. If someone scans the screenshot before you do, you'll be denied entry. Open your ticket through the app at the gate to be safe.

Payments

4 answers

  • What payment methods do you accept?

    M-Pesa, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard. Card payments are processed through PCI-DSS certified providers — your card details never touch our servers.

  • My payment failed but money left my account.

    If the booking didn't complete, the charge will reverse automatically within 24 hours. If it doesn't, email support@tikohub.co.ke with your transaction ID and we'll trace it.

  • Why didn't I get an M-Pesa STK push?

    Check that your phone number is in international format (e.g. 254712345678), has airtime for the SMS, and is on the Safaricom network. Tap Resend in the payment dialog to try again.

  • Can I get a VAT receipt?

    Yes. Go to My Tickets, open the order, tap Receipt. You can also email billing@tikohub.co.ke with your order reference (starts with TIKO-).

Refunds

3 answers

  • What's your refund policy?

    Refund eligibility is set by each organizer and shown on the event page before purchase. If an event is cancelled outright, refunds are automatic. Service fees may not be refundable depending on the case.

  • How long do refunds take?

    M-Pesa refunds are usually instant. Card refunds take 7–14 business days, depending on your bank. PayPal refunds clear in 1–3 business days.

  • An event got postponed — do I get a refund?

    Your ticket stays valid for the new date. If you can't make the new date, request a refund within 7 days of the announcement via My Tickets.

Events

4 answers

  • When do doors open?

    Doors usually open one hour before the start time printed on your ticket. Check the event page — some shows have specific door times listed.

  • Is the event age-restricted?

    Look for the age tag on the event page (e.g. 'This is an 18+ event'). Photo ID is required at the gate for age-restricted events.

  • What can I bring with me?

    Each event sets its own rules — see the event page for the full list. As a baseline: no glass, no outside drinks, no professional cameras without a press pass.

  • What happens if an event is cancelled?

    We'll email everyone who bought a ticket within hours of the announcement. Refunds are issued automatically to the original payment method.

Account

3 answers

  • How do I reset my password?

    Tap 'Forgot password?' on the sign-in page. We'll email a reset link valid for 30 minutes. If you don't see it, check spam.

  • Can I change the email on my account?

    Yes. Go to Profile settings → Account → Email. We send a verification link to the new address before the change is locked in.

  • How do I delete my account?

    Profile settings → Account → Delete. Your tickets stay valid and your purchase history is kept for legal record-keeping. Marketing data is wiped within 30 days.

  • How long does shop delivery take?

    1–3 business days within Kenya, 5–10 days for the wider East Africa region. You'll get a tracking link once your order ships.

  • Can I return shop items?
