Watch out

  • Chat needs sign-in to the Ticketmaster account; people who cannot sign in must use the Email Us option or a form on the contact page.
  • The Request Refund button is inside the signed-in account and appears only when the Event Organizer offers refunds.
  • Refund requests are final and cannot be changed once submitted.
  • Refunds for transferred tickets go only to the original purchaser; box office purchases are refunded at the box office.
  • The Purchase Policy, Resale Purchase Policy and Terms of Use at legal.ticketmaster.com load their text through a script, and automated fetches see only the page frame.
