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 Deutschland-Ticket, 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.
Yes, tickets can be transferred between different devices without any restrictions.
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. The Deutschland-Ticket can be purchased up to 30 days in advance.
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.
The amounts for the following months are due with the monthly provision of the corresponding ticket in the app (13th/14th day of the previous month). The debit that you now see on your payment method belongs to your Deutschland-Ticket for the next month. This was also confirmed to you in an e-mail.
If your Deutschland-Ticket for the following month is not yet displayed in the MVV app, please open the menu item "Ticketshop" and refresh the view by dragging the page down and holding it briefly. If necessary, you may then need to actively click on the ticket and download/transfer it to your device.
Note: Only currently valid tickets are displayed in the "My Tickets" area in the MVV app on Android devices.You can only find the ticket for the next month in the "Ticketshop" menu item until the validity starts. From the time it is made available, the ticket for the following month will always be displayed there (from around the middle of the previous month). When the validity begins, the ticket is also automatically available in the "My Tickets" area.
The Deutschland-Ticket is only offered as a monthly subscription. In order to take out the subscription, you need an account in the MVV-Ticketshop.

This subscription can only be canceled until the 10th of the current month. If you buy the ticket for the current month after the 10th of a month, you will automatically receive the ticket for the next month in addition.
After the first purchase of the Deutschland-Ticket, each additional ticket is automatically made available in the app in good time before the beginning of the next month. You will receive an email confirmation with each monthly deployment.
You can use the direct debit procedure (Lastschriftverfahren) or your credit card to purchase the Deutschland-Ticket. The monthly debit is always made from the payment method used for the first purchase.
The amount for the first monthly ticket is due immediately after conclusion of the subscription contract. The amounts for the subsequent months are due in each case with the monthly provision of the corresponding ticket within the app (13th/14th day of the previous month, monthly payment method). The monthly debit is always made from the payment method used for the first purchase.
The subscription can be cancelled online at any time via the link sent with the order confirmation when the contract is concluded.
