Why isn't my order being processed?

There may be several reasons for an order not processing correctly. Should you experience a known problem during the purchase process, Oztix will inform you of the problem by a message which appears in a red box at the top of your screen. Common issues faced are:

  • "Tickets are reserved" This may be due to several reasons, such as the event being highly popular or close to selling out. This error occurs when all available tickets are reserved by other customers, and they are yet to complete their transaction. Please continue to attempt purchase. If the ticket type or event is sold out, you will see an "allocation exhausted" or "tickets unavailable" message.
  • "Processing Error" This may be due to several reasons such as, a busy payment gateway or bank. It may be because you accidentally entered incorrect credit card details or you are attempting to use a payment method or card we do not accept. Please double check that your payment method is Visa, MasterCard or PayPal and that you have entered the correct information - then wait a moment and try again.
  • "Invalid account number" Please double check that your payment method is Visa, MasterCard or PayPal and you have entered the correct information - then wait a moment and try again. Please note: Oztix does not accept AMEX® or Diners Club® cards.
  • "Timeout waiting for Processor response - Bank timed out" This error has occurred because our bank has indicated that it is currently 'busy'. This happens when your bank or financial institution is experiencing high demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a moment and then try to process your order again. If you continue to experience this problem please contact us here and we will do our best to resolve the situation.
  • "Declined" and "Insufficient funds available" Unfortunately, your credit card has been declined. This could be due to several reasons – the most probable is that you have insufficient funds. If you continue to have a problem and you are certain you do have sufficient funds please contact your bank, or try using another card.
  • "Referral" This means your bank will not automatically allow funds to be processed through our system and has most likely put those funds on hold. It may seem that the funds have left your account, however in most cases we have not received the funds and it is being held by your bank awaiting additional authorization. You should contact your bank for further information.
  • "No response from Payment Gateway" The error occurs when the payment gateway indicates that it is currently 'busy'. This can be due to many reasons, however the most common reason is the payment gateway is experiencing high demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a few moments and then try again.If you continue to experience problems, after contacting your bank, please contact us here during normal business hours for further assistance.
