Card payments: Visa & Mastercard

We accept all major cards from Visa & Mastercard, both DEBIT and CREDIT cards.

When buying tickets, just choose the $ (USD) option and then click the credit card icon.

Discover and American Express cards cannot be used.

 

A failed card transaction can have multiple reasons. Most common ones are:

  • You used an AMEX card. Only Visa / Mastercard is supported. 
  • Your card does not support 3D Secure.
  • Card-not-present transactions are not available for your card. 

Card fraud is a big issue nowadays. We have taken certain measures to prevent fraud, however, this might result in a less fluent ordering experience. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

3D Secure
For extra fraud protection, 3D Secure (3DS) requires customers to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer when paying. 3D Secure has to be enabled on your card to process a payment. Without this, your transaction will fail. 

Questions?
Contact the financial institute who issued your card, they might be able to help you to enable 3D Secure, card-not-present transactions or investigate further.

We think it is very important that we only offer safe payment methods. For this reason, we installed 3DSecure, known as Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

Please note that 3DS needs to be activated on your card, otherwise your payment will fail. If it is activated, you will be asked to verify your payment by an additional security check. 

If you have not registered your card for 3DSecure yet, your bank will ask you to go through a verification process. This is a new security standard to protect you against internet fraud. This is a 1-time registration only and will not need to re-register thereafter. After registering, you can use your credit card to complete your payment.

If you haven’t registered your Visa or MasterCard for 3DSecure yet, you can sign up for Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode at your bank.

Note: Credit Limit of Gift/Money cards are US$ 0. When it requests “account number”, please do not mix this up with your card number. You can find this account number on your credit card statement and the last 4-6 digits will differentiate from your card number.

First, if you are overthinking a chargeback on your credit card, please reach out to us first. Contact our support department with the reason for this and we will get in touch with you a.s.a.p.
