Set up your refund policy
Before refunding tickets for the first time, you'll be prompted to establish a refund policy. The refund policy will apply across all of your events. There are several customizable options on this page.
If you save the Setup Refund Policy page without any changes Big Tickets will use our standard refund policy which is:
We do not provide refunds, except for...
- We will provide a refund for ticket upgrades once the purchaser has already paid for the upgraded tickets.
- We will always provide a refund if contacted by the bank regarding a fraudulent transaction.
