Ticket Refund Guarantee FAQ

What is the Ticket Refund Guarantee?

If you choose to add the ticket refund guarantee to your ticket purchase, you will receive a 100% refund if you cannot make the event for the reasons stipulated below.

Please note: This is different to Event Cancellation.

 

How is it different to Event Cancellation?

Event cancellation is when the event organiser needs to cancel the event. Refunds under this type of cancellation may or may not be covered by an insurance policy the event organiser has taken out.

Ticket Refund Guarantee is when the event is still happening, but you are not able to attend anymore. The guarantee is only valid if the reason you cannot attend is covered under the sections listed below.

 

How much does it cost?

10% of the ticket cost added as a separate line item to your basket.

 

Can I request a refund if I didn’t add the guarantee to my basket?

No. Unless it is covered under Refund Policy in our Terms & Conditions.

 

Does Easyreg process the refund?

No. Easyreg provides this option to our customers but it is administered by SureStart Online Financial Services FSP. 47233.
