What is the Ticketmaster cashback rate on ShopBack?
Up-to percentage back on eligible Ticketmaster orders; see the live rate on ShopBack
Live rate: see the current Ticketmaster rate on ShopBack. A checked rate appears here once the hourly rate check has fresh data; the binding rate is always the one on the Ticketmaster page on shopback.com.
Ticketmaster cashback on ShopBack is an up-to percentage of the eligible order value. Any gift card, voucher, or store credit purchase is excluded, along with any order paid with a redeemed gift card or voucher. Fees, taxes, service charges, shipping, and delivery are excluded from the calculation. Your cashback may track at a different rate at first and adjust to the correct rate once the transaction details are confirmed. The live rate is on the ShopBack Ticketmaster page.

How do you save money at Ticketmaster?
Start every Ticketmaster order from the Ticketmaster page on ShopBack, because eligible ticket orders earn an up-to percentage back on the ticket value. Activation costs nothing and takes one click before you buy, and cashback is calculated on the eligible amount, since fees and taxes are excluded.
Buy during official presales and standard on-sales rather than late resale, because resale prices often run well above face value and cashback applies to the eligible ticket value only. Codes featured on ShopBack can stack, while promo codes not featured on ShopBack can void the cashback for that order.
Watch for Ticketmaster promotional windows such as concert-week deals and discounted-ticket events, when select shows drop to lower prices for a limited time. Keep in mind gift cards do not earn cashback, and use the sales calendar below to time recurring events.
Ticketmaster promo codes and coupons: what stacks with cashback?
ShopBack lists any active Ticketmaster promo codes on its Ticketmaster page, right next to the cashback rate, and codes featured there stack with cashback. This page does not publish a Ticketmaster coupon list of its own: codes change too often for a static list to stay honest, so the live ShopBack Ticketmaster page is the single source.
The deal math is simple: a featured code lowers the price at checkout, and cashback then pays a percentage of what you actually spend. The code to avoid is one from a third-party coupon site, since the Ticketmaster terms let a code not featured on ShopBack void the cashback for the entire order.

Ticketmaster deals, discounts and sales: what stacks with cashback?
The strongest Ticketmaster deals are usually not codes at all: a Ticketmaster sale or sitewide discount stacks with cashback automatically, because cashback is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, and an upsized cashback rate works like an extra sitewide discount on top.
To see today's Ticketmaster deals in one place, open the Ticketmaster page on ShopBack: the current cashback rate, any featured discount codes, and upsized offers are listed together there. This page does not maintain its own Ticketmaster sales list, because offers change too fast for a static page to stay honest.

Ticketmaster is an established ticketing company, founded in 1976 and now part of Live Nation Entertainment following the 2010 merger.

Cashback on Ticketmaster orders through ShopBack adds no risk to the purchase itself.
