FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

As of March 1, 2024, Gwinnett Center is incorporating a new ticketing system called AXS Ticketing. AXS Ticketing is an innovative ticketing platform with key features to enhance the ticket purchasing experience. 

What is AXS?

AXS is a new ticketing platform with key features that will enhance the ticket purchasing experience.

What are some of the new features?

AXS Invite: this feature gives ticket buyers the opportunity to invite friends to an event without having to purchase everyone’s ticket themselves – they can simply hold seats directly adjacent to the seats they purchased.  The ticket buyer can send a link with the held seats to a friend or family member via Facebook or e-mail.  Invitee can decline or accept the tickets anytime within 48 hours.  If they accept, they can log on to axs.com and purchase the tickets directly.
AXS Waiting Room: this feature is available directly prior to the general on-sale (the time the waiting room opens will vary depending on event).  Ticket buyers can log on to axs.com and enter the waiting room where they can view event details, pricing, available seats and ticket information.  They can also go ahead and enter their credit card and billing information to save time once the on-sale goes live.

Why is Gwinnett Center moving to the AXS Ticketing Platform?

This system has a lot of new features that our ticket buyers will find beneficial. It gives them the opportunity to share event invites socially through AXS Invite, and it provides customers with free ticket delivery options. We are eager for everyone to experience what AXS can do.

When did AXS Ticketing launch across the country?

AEG introduced the AXS Ticketing platform in 2024. A few other venues utilizing the AXS Ticketing are:

• The O2 Arena – London, UK
• Sprint Center – Kansas City, MO
• Citizens Business Bank Arena – Ontario, CA
• Bluebird Theater – Denver, CO
• Ogden Theatre – Denver, CO

Ticketless ticketing (credit card entry) is an alternative delivery method to receiving your tickets. Instead of receiving physical tickets through the mail, UPS, will call or in-store pick-up, the credit card used to purchase your tickets serve as your ticket to the event. To get into the show, all you need is the credit card you that you used to purchase your ticket and a valid, government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID or passport.

What if I buy a ticketless ticket for someone else?
If you buy a ticketless ticket for someone else, you (the purchaser) will either need to be present at the gate to let your guest into the venue with your credit card used to purchase your tickets. Additionally, you can contact AXS Ticketing by calling 1-888-9-AXS-TIX, and put the event attendee down as an alternate ticket user.

How do I purchase tickets?
Paperless tickets can only be purchased online through gwinnettcenter.com. This means that we will not be able to process event tickets in the paperless price levels at the box office. To purchase these price levels, you will need to go to www..com (link to: http://www.axs.com/) or call 1-888-9-AXS-TIX.

Which price levels are paperless?
The ticketless price levels vary by event, but this information can be found on the event page.

If a price level is not paperless, these tickets can be purchased at The Arena at Gwinnett Center box office.

For more information about a specific event, please visit the Events & Tickets page.

For each event at Gwinnett Center, we receive complaints and questions regarding third party ticketing websites. Due to the nature of the business, we host events that sell out very quickly, so patrons go to the secondary market to purchase their tickets. Gwinnett Center is not able to guarantee that these tickets are legitimate because they were not purchased from an official source, so by purchasing these tickets, you might be the victim of scalping. We have encountered situations where a patron purchases tickets through one of these websites, and finds out that the tickets were counterfeit at the event, so they are not able to attend the show. Sometimes, while you may receive real event tickets, you end up paying more than face-value for these tickets.

AXS Ticketing is the official ticket provider of Gwinnett Center.

In order to avoid missing an event, you should NOT purchase tickets from secondary websites unless it is an approved vendor of Gwinnett Center. We urge patrons to purchase tickets to Gwinnett Center events using the following methods:

• Online: www.GwinnettCenter.com  or www.axs.com
• In-Person: Gwinnett Center Box Office
• Phone: 1-888-9-AXS-TIX
• Group Tickets: groups@gwinnettcenter.com 

If you choose to purchase tickets using a secondary website, Gwinnett Center and AXSTicketing are not liable for the counterfeit tickets purchased, overpayment or for special packages promised by the scalper website, i.e. meet and greets, t-shirts, etc.

Please note that AXS Ticketing has a partnership with StubHub, and can verify tickets for patrons prior to the event day for tickets purchased via StubHub. Please bring your tickets to Gwinnett Center’s box office to verify your tickets.

Gwinnett Center takes all major credit cards including, VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card for tickets.

You can also use your credit card at the concession stands and on merchandise purchases.

For most events, children under 24 months do not require a ticket to enter. However, in order for a child to have his/her own seat, a ticket is required. For some family events this may vary.

For more information about a specific event, please visit the Events & Tickets page.

If duplicate tickets (two or more guests holding tickets to the same seat for the same event) are presented, immediately contact an event staff member or proceed to the box office for assistance.

There are no refunds or exchanges.

If an event is cancelled, the event tickets will be refunded at the point-of-purchases.
