No, you cannot use screenshots of Ticketmaster tickets. Ticketmaster employs dynamic barcodes which refresh periodically to prevent fraud. As such, a screenshot will not contain a valid barcode at the time of entry. Instead, use the official Ticketmaster app to present your tickets for entry. This ensures the barcode is current and valid for scanning at the event.
