My event is cancelled - can I get a refund?
If your event is cancelled, you should be informed of this by the event organiser. The event organiser may choose to compensate you directly (that is to say not via TicketCo), or the cancellation process may be carried out through TicketCo on behalf of the organiser. This article explains the latter.
Emails will be sent to the email address entered upon purchase.
Timeline
If the organiser chooses to cancel their events via TicketCo, you will likely receive the following:
- An email from the organiser informing you of the cancellation.
- Within 30 days* from the first email, you should receive a second email from TicketCo outlining how you can register that you wish to be refunded, or that you would like a voucher. You may also be given the chance to waive your right to a refund.
- If you select to receive a voucher, you will be sent your voucher straight away. If you select to waive your refund, this will be registered straight away. If you choose to be refunded, your refund should arrive within your account within 1-5 working days.
*If your event has been cancelled, please allow 30 days to receive this email. This email is usually sent out around 14 working days after the organiser informs us of the cancellation; however, when there is a large number of cancellations from event organisers our internal processing time can take longer.
How will I be compensated?
In regards to step 2 above, here is an example of the type of email you may receive:
You will always be offered a refund for your ticket(s). Refunding is carried out in accordance with our legal terms which were accepted upon the initial purchase.
|
To claim your refund, simply click the Refund the order button in the email you received. You will then be taken to an online form which you should fill out. Once you have filled out the form and confirmed, your refund will be sent out within 1-5 working days. You will automatically be refunded back to the same card which was used when you first purchased tickets.
|
In addition to being offered a refund, you may be offered the following alternatives:
- The chance to waive your refund in support of the event organiser
- The chance to receive a voucher worth the full face value of your ticket
Please note that not all event organisers will offer these extra options, but you will always be offered a refund. By choosing to waive your refund, you confirm that you would not like a refund, and that you would like TicketCo to transfer the face value of the ticket to the event organiser.
Vouchers
A voucher works similarly to a gift card, and will be redeemable against the purchase of other tickets and products sold by the same organiser on TicketCo. When you select the voucher option, your voucher will automatically sent to you via email. Vouchers expire after 3 years from when selected. If you need help using your voucher, please see this help article.
