I just bought a BAYC or MAYC. Can I request a ticket? What if the previous holder already requested one?
If you've recently bought a Bored Ape Yacht Club or Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT and want to attend Apefest, you're still eligible to request a ticket. However, you will still need to claim your own ApeFest ticket(s). If tickets are no longer available, you are free to join the waitlist.
If someone who previously owned that same NFT has already claimed a ticket, their ticket won’t be valid at the time of entry, unless they have another BAYC or MAYC on the wallet used to claim.
There's two checks in place: first, when you claim your ticket, and second, when you check in at the event to make sure you are still holding a BAYC or MAYC on that wallet.

If I don’t get a ticket, how do I get on the waitlist?
If tickets sell out, you can add yourself to the waitlist directly from the ticketing landing page.

Is there a secondary market for ApeFest tickets?
No. Selling +1 spots is also not permitted. If you see one for sale, keep in mind that +1 tickets only live in the ape holder’s tokenproof app, so a sold +1 ticket is basically a pinky promise. Don’t buy a pinky promise.

Someone is offering to give or sell me their ticket or +1 spot. Is it legit?
Selling +1 spots is not permitted and tickets were not designed to be transferable, so there is no way to buy/sell/transfer a ticket. We’re unable to check for you whether a +1 offer is legit, so we recommend only joining as an ape’s guest if you know and trust them. If someone is offering you a ticket, keep the following in mind:
There is no way to separate a guest ticket from the ape holder’s wallet ahead of the wristband claim. An ape’s +1 spot is bundled with their own ticket on their tokenproof app on their phone.
All ApeFest tickets, including +1s, are tied to the holder’s enrolled wallet, tokenproof app, and mobile device; and all three are required to enter ApeFest.
An email confirmation is not a ticket.
Guest names are never submitted or recorded, so we will not be able to verify whether you are someone’s +1.
There is no official secondary market for tickets. Never connect your wallet to a site you don’t know and trust.

I have my BAYC or MAYC token locked in or staked through ParaSpace or BendDAO. Do I need to do anything in order to get tickets?
Tokenproof no longer supports NFTs that are collateralized or staked through ParaSpace or BendDAO. If you plan to claim ApeFest tickets, you’ll need to move your assets off these protocols during the ticket claim process and throughout the event.

Where is my ticket?
Your ticket will be in your tokenproof app, but remember, a BAYC/MAYC must be in your enrolled wallet at the time you scan the ticket at the event. You will not need to connect your wallet to enter or at any other point during ApeFest. Moving your BAYC/MAYC out of your enrolled wallet will invalidate it for entry even if it still appears in your tokenproof after moving. The ticket will only disappear from the tokenproof app if the ticket was canceled.
Note: If you do not have an ApeFest ticket within the Tickets tab of your tokenproof app, you do not have a ticket to the event.
