Creating an account
Create a free ShowTix account with your name and email — no password. What an account gives you, and how it links to tickets you bought as a guest.
For everyoneLast updated
Go to /register, enter your first name, last name and email, accept the terms, then enter the 6-digit code we email you. That's it — your account is created and your email confirmed, with no password to set.
You don't need an account to buy tickets. Guest checkout works for every event.
Create your account#
Fill in your details
On /register (or Create an account on the sign-in page), enter First name, Last name and Email.
Accept the terms
Tick I agree to the terms of service and privacy policy. You can also tick Send me news about shows from ShowTix (optional) — leave it unticked if you'd rather not.
Get your code
Select Email me a code. We send a 6-digit code to the email you entered.
Confirm your email
On Confirm your email, enter the code. Your account is created at this point and your email is marked as confirmed.
The code lasts 10 minutes. If it doesn't arrive, check spam, then select Resend code after 30 seconds. See Signing in.
Already have an account?
If the email already has an account, entering the code just signs you in — your existing name isn't changed. Select Sign in on the registration page if you meant to sign in.
What an account gives you#
All your tickets in one place. Sign in and open My Tickets — no code each time.
Tickets you bought before signing up. Orders placed as a guest with the same email appear in My Tickets automatically, once your email is confirmed.
Your account is noted on new orders. When you buy with your account email, the confirmation says your tickets are attached "and saved to your account".
Hosting. The same account can create and sell events. See Becoming a host.
Checkout doesn't fill in your details automatically yet — enter your name and email as usual.

Changing your details later#
