We are happy to answer your question . In the selection below, you will find a list of frequently asked questions and related answers regarding MVV-MobileTickets sorted by topics.
You need a smartphone with internet access as well as the free MVV-App. A one-time registration is required for full use of the MVV Ticketshop, which can be done in advance. You can purchase a ticket either by directly using the ticket shop or by selecting the ticket via MVV journey planner. When you enter your trip information, the app will recommend the best ticket for your requested trip. After confirmation of the payment details, the ticket can be used directly in the app. The purchase amount is debited.
The following tickets are currently available as MobileTickets: Day Tickets (incl. the CityTourCard, the München Card, the AirportPLUS-Tickets, the Bicycle Day Ticket and the Oberland-MVV-Ticket), Single tickets (incl. Short Trip Tickets) and the Anschlussticket (valid in combination with a season ticket). Registered customers can also purchase the Stripe Ticket and season tickets (IsarCard Weekly, IsarCard Monthly, IsarCard9Uhr, IsarCard65).
The MVV App including the MVV-Ticketshop is available for free on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
The registration for the MobileTicket takes place directly in the app or on the MVV website, by entering your name, date of birth, address and e-mail address, as well as a password. The customer account can be used for both the MobileTicket and the OnlineTicket.
Yes. This is possible if you pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. However, you cannot purchase the Stripe Ticket and season tickets without a registration.
Yes, you can. You will have to enter the full name and the date of birth of that person when purchasing the ticket. In the event of a ticket inspection, the ticket owner has to present the ticket and an official photo ID (e.g. identity card, passport).
Please note that purchased tickets cannot be transferred to other devices or the number of transfers is limited for security reasons. If it is not possible for you to travel with the person you have bought the ticket for, the ticket must be purchased on the other person's device. Showing a screenshot is not allowed.
When configuring the ticket click on the item "Me". Then you can enter other ticket owners by clicking on the “+”; for future trips you can directly select the saved details of a person from the list.
For group tickets, only one name has to be on the ticket. This ticket holder must always be part of the group and present the ticket in an inspection. The names of fellow travelers do not have to be on the ticket.
No, this is not possible. Although the ticket is displayed in the overview on each device, you can only open the ticket on the device you purchased the ticket with. Only then is the ticket valid and can be used. In the case of season tickets, a limited number of transfers to other devices is possible (see season tickets).
Day tickets and season tickets can be purchased up to 7 days before the first day of travel. Single Tickets and the Stripe Ticket cannot be bought in advance and their validity start date cannot therefore be changed.
According to the tariff regulations, all MobileTickets have to be purchased and completely downloaded before boarding the vehicle or before crossing the platform barriers at stations.
You can pay for the MobileTicket by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or via Apple Pay or Google Pay. Registered customers can also use the direct debit procedure (bank account within the European Union).
1. During the order process.
2. Within the app via the settings / info under the menu item Tickets. To open the settings / info and the menu item “Means of Payment”, please click on the avatar symbol on the top right.
3. On the online shop. Please visit the page www.mvv-muenchen.de/ticketshop, log in with your usual login data and select “Means of payment” on the left side.
This company is a German financial services provider that processes all payment transactions for Mobile- and OnlineTickets on behalf of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund GmbH (MVV).
Direct debits for Mobiletickets are always triggered by our financial services provider on the next working day. If necessary, several orders are combined. Depending on the bank, the debit will then appear on your account with a time delay. Due to holidays and weekends, the transaction may not appear until several days later.
When you first enter your credit card information, your details need to be verified. The data is sent to the card issuer and the amount of 1 EUR is requested and authorized. This will usually expire within two weeks and the money will not be taken from your account.
All MobileTickets you purchase are listed in your customer account. Simply log in to your customer account to print out the invoice for any tickets you have purchased: ticketshop.mvv-muenchen.de/index.php/personal_data/orderList
Alternatively, you can request the invoice for a single order directly from the app. Please click on the corresponding button of a ticket that is currently open or click on the ticket in the overview "Tickets" or “History” for some seconds. Either you can open the receipt directly or you can send a link by Email.
If you bought a ticket without registration, you can only download a purchase receipt directly from the app.
MobileTickets cost exactly the same as regular tickets purchased at ticket machines, sales points, kiosks and on MVV regional buses. Reducing the fare of OnlineTickets and MobileTickets would decrease the overall fare income. This loss of fare income would have to be compensated by additionally raising the ticket prices for all MVV customers.
In the event of a ticket inspection, the MobileTicket within the app as well as your official photo ID (e.g. identity card, passport) has to be presented. The inspector will scan and automatically check the barcode displayed in the app with an electronic device. If you fail to present your ticket or ID, you will be liable for a penalty fare.
MobileTickets are personalized tickets, meaning they also feature the customer’s name. In order to make sure that the passenger’s name is identical to the name stated on the ticket, you must carry an official photo ID (e.g. identity card, passport) with you on your journey.
When purchasing the Stripe Ticket, you have to enter the number of stripes you would like to validate for an immediate journey (max. 8 stripes). A stripe ticket cannot be purchased in advance. You will automatically have to purchase 10 stripes and the remaining stripes are stored as credit in your account.
You can use your stripes by selecting “Credit” under Tickets/Credit/History, clicking on Stripe Ticket and setting the details for the next trip. Alternatively, you can also use your credit via the journey planner or choosing the stripe ticket under “Buy tickets”.
Yes, this is possible if the same account is used on the devices. However, once the stripes are validated, the valid ticket has to be presented on the device you bought the ticket with. You will not be able to validate stripes for other people on your device unless you travel with them.
When configuring the ticket click on the item "Me". Then you can enter other ticket owners by clicking on the “+”; for future trips you can directly select the saved details of a person from the list.
Please note that purchased tickets cannot be transferred to other devices. If it is not possible for you to travel with the person you have bought the ticket for, the ticket must be purchased on the other person's device. Showing a screenshot is not allowed.
If you don’t have enough credit for the selected number of stripes, the existing stripes will be combined with stripes from a new Stripe Ticket which you will be offered in this case. During confirmation, you can see if your credit is enough for the trip or if a new stripe ticket with 10 stripes has been charged.
Your remaining stripes will still be valid for an unlimited amount of time.
You can buy the IsarCard Weekly, the IsarCard Monthly, the IsarCard9Uhr and the IsarCard65 as MobileTicket.
You have the flexibility to choose the starting day of your IsarCard Weekly and Monthly Ticket to meet your needs:
The Weekly Pass is valid for seven consecutive days. In addition, it is valid beyond the last day of validity until 12 noon of the following day. Example: if you purchase your Weekly Pass on a Wednesday, your Pass will be valid until 12 noon on Wednesday of the following week.
The Monthly Pass is valid for one month and beyond the last day of validity until 12 noon of the following day. Example: if you purchase your Monthly Pass on the 11th of a month, your Pass will be valid until 12 noon on the 11th of the following month.
Season Tickets can be purchased up to 7 days before the first day of travel. During the purchase progress, the first day of validity and the area of validity must be selected (when purchasing via the journey planner, the area of validity is automatically selected).
Unlike IsarCards from ticket machines, MobileTickets are not transferable. Therefore it is mandatory to specify a ticket holder. Only this ticket holder can use the IsarCard.
With the IsarCard (Weekly or Montlhy) and the IsarCard9Uhr children aged between 6 and 14 may travel on the same ticket Mondays to Fridays after 9 am and at any other time on non-working days. You may bring along as many of your own children and grandchildren as you wish to travel with you (ID required); otherwise, there is a maximum limit of three children. The name of the children travelling with you does not have to be on the ticket. With the IsarCard65 it is not possible to take along children or grandchildren.
Please click on the ticket and select "Transfer". However, please note that the number of transfers between different devices is limited for security reasons.
You can only open the ticket on one device at a time. The number of transfers between different devices is limited for security reasons. If an error message appears during transfer, you have reached the transfer limit. In some exceptional cases, a one-time transfer is possible via the customer service. In such cases, please contact kundendialog@mvv-muenchen.de.
MobileTickets are generally excluded from exchange, return and cancellation. This also applies to season tickets. A refund or partial refund of IsarCards is not possible.
No, this is not possible. IsarCards are only sold as MobileTickets in the MVV app.
No, this is not possible. IsarCardAbos will continue to be issued only as paper tickets or chip cards. A transfer to a smartphone is not possible.
It seems that the ticket list was not fully loaded here. Please go to Buy Ticket and refresh the list by swiping down and holding briefly. If it still does not work, please uninstall the app once and install it again.

If you cannot log into MVV Ticketshop or Ticketshop of S-Bahn München, you might be customer in Ticketshop of MVG. This shop was deactivated with the update in March 2019 in the MVV app. Please use one of the following options in the future:
