What do I need for pickup?

Confirmation number from Tixr or Photo ID of Original Purchaser (of clear copy!)

Can I pickup for someone else?

Simple! Just bring the confirmation number and a picture of the purchaser’s ID.

I purchased BIBS FOR a large group. what’s the best way to pickup?

If you bought tickets for a group, the original purchaser can pick up all bibs in the order and distribute them. That’s the easiest option and what we recommend!

If individuals from your group want to pick up their own bib, they’ll need the Tixr confirmation number and a photo of the original purchaser’s ID.
