Basket and quantity: avoid mistakes

The basket is the step where you confirm what you are about to buy: how many tickets, for what date, at what price. This is also where most small errors occur, such as one ticket too many or a quantity misread. Good news: everything is corrected before paying. This guide shows you how to choose the right quantity, understand the limited duration of the basket and check your order with peace of mind.

What is the basket for?

The basket collects your places before payment. It displays the 'T0' number of tickets 'T1', the 'T2' category 'T3', the 'T4' date 'T5' and the 'T6' total 'T7' to be paid, including any fees. Until you have paid, nothing is final: you can change the quantity, withdraw a ticket or start again. See the shopping cart as a final check before checking out, not as a firm commitment.

Manage your basket well, step by step

  1. 1

    Choose the right quantity of tickets

    Count the people who come, including you. This is the most common mistake: one ticket too many or one ticket too few.

  2. 2

    Check date and category

    Make sure the cart is for the right session and location, especially if the event has multiple dates.

  3. 3

    Check the details of the total

    Look at the price per ticket, any fees and the total. The final total should be clear before continuing.

  4. 4

    Edit if necessary

    You can adjust the quantity or remove a place until you have paid. Nothing is set in stone at this stage.

  5. 5

    Watch the countdown

    If there is one, finalize it without delay. If the time expires, simply start the selection again, without worrying.

The details of the order are normally visible in the basket, before the payment stage.

The 5-point check before paying

  1. The 'T0' number of 'T1' tickets corresponds exactly to your group.
  2. The date and time are the correct ones.
  3. The 'T0' category or 'T1' zone is the one you wanted.
  4. The total 'T0' to pay 'T1', including fees, is clear and suits you.
  5. No unwanted option (insurance, supplement) has been added by default.

My basket has expired, what should I do?

This has no consequences: no amount is taken until the payment is validated. Simply return to the event page and select your seats again. If the event is in high demand, availability may have changed in the meantime, but this is rarely a problem. Calmly resume the selection: an expired basket is only a provisional reservation which has ended.

Frequently asked questions

How long do my places stay in the basket?
Usually only a few minutes, time to finalize the payment. A countdown sometimes indicates this. After this period, the places go on sale again and the selection must be started again, without any amount being taken.
Can I change the number of tickets after adding to cart?
Yes, as long as you haven't paid. You can adjust the quantity or remove a place directly from the basket. It's even recommended: it's a good time to correct a post that's too many or too few.
Why is the total higher than expected?
Service fees may be added to ticket prices. A good platform displays this full total before payment. Read the details right from the basket to avoid surprises at the next step.
My cart has expired, have I lost money?
No. Until the payment is validated, nothing is charged. An expired cart simply means that the provisional reservation has ended. Simply return to the event page and select your places again.
