# Secure Ticket Transfers

> How to safely transfer or gift your ticket to another student using the cryptographic Transfer Link system.

# Giving Your Ticket to Someone Else

While **you cannot simply screenshot your digital pass to give it to a friend** (because our gate scanners detect duplicate and revoked screenshots), UniTix provides an official, secure **Ticket Transfer Engine**.

This system guarantees that the recipient student receives a brand new, cryptographically signed QR code (`qrToken`) tied directly to their own student profile and university roll number.

> \[!WARNING]
> **Society Policies & Restrictions:** Certain high-security campus events or university workshops may have ticket transfers disabled by the organizers. If the **Transfer Ticket** button is disabled or greyed out on your ticket card, that specific event strictly prohibits transfers.

## 1. How to Initiate a Transfer

If your plans change and you want to gift or sell your ticket to a classmate:

1. Log into your **Student Dashboard** (`My Tickets`).
2. Locate the specific approved ticket you wish to transfer.
3. Click the **Transfer Ticket** button (`Send` / `Share` icon) on the ticket card.
4. The UniTix backend securely generates a unique, single-use **Cryptographic Transfer Link** (`/transfer/[id]`).
5. Click **Copy Link** to save it to your clipboard.
6. Share this link directly with your recipient via WhatsApp, Email, or Campus Discord.

## 2. How to Claim a Transferred Ticket

If someone has sent you an official UniTix Transfer Link:

1. Click the link (`unitix.aarx.online/transfer/abc-123...`).
2. Log in or register for a verified **UniTix Student Account** (you cannot claim a ticket without a verified profile and roll number).
3. Review the ticket details on the claim page (Event Title, Date, Venue, Tier).
4. Click **Claim Transfer**.
5. Within milliseconds, the backend executes a secure ownership swap and deposits the ticket into your **My Tickets** wallet.

## 3. Cryptographic QR Revocation (Security Notice)

To prevent ticket scalping and screenshot duplication fraud at venue gates, our transfer system enforces **Instant QR Revocation**:

* **Automatic Revocation:** The exact moment a transfer link is claimed by the recipient, the original owner's QR code (`qrToken`) is permanently revoked in the global database.
* **Gate Scanner Protection:** If the original sender attempts to scan a saved screenshot or printout of their old QR code after transferring it away, the gate scanner will instantly sound an alarm and reject entry with: `Security Validation Failed: This ticket QR code has been revoked due to a transfer.`
* **New Token Generation:** A completely new, unique QR token is generated exclusively for the recipient, ensuring clean 1-to-1 gate validation.
