We are excited to announce a new level of convenience and security for your opera tickets! HGO’s new digital system offers a contactless way to deliver tickets directly to phone using a mobile wallet. We invite you to take advantage of this safe and easy way to receive, manage, and share your tickets with guests while reducing theft and counterfeiting. No more stress over how to print at home, running out of ink, or misplacing your tickets—and no apps are required!
WHAT ARE DIGITAL TICKETS?
Digital tickets are a paper-free, convenient, secure, and contactless way to enter the theater, delivered directly to your phone using rotating QR codes. These QR codes will activate 2 hours prior to your performance start time and refresh every 30 seconds, providing you with a valid ticket while reducing the ability of bad actors to resell counterfeit tickets.
WHY IS HGO USING DIGITAL TICKETS?
Digital tickets provide you with an easy and safe way to receive and share your tickets with friends and family. Your tickets are always available in your digital wallet.
