Refunds

Clear refund and cancellation rules before live checkout.

Refund and cancellation wording must be approved before live paid checkout. This foundation records the policy areas Local Tickets needs to cover for buyers, organisers and staff support workflows.

Launch approval needed Final refund rights, cancellation windows, organiser responsibilities, fee treatment, chargeback handling and support route still need approval.

Event cancellation

If an event is cancelled, buyers should receive clear instructions from the organiser or Local Tickets support about ticket status, refunds and next steps.

Event changes

Material changes such as date, time, venue, accessibility, lineup or seating changes need a controlled workflow, buyer communication and support history.

Buyer refund requests

The launch policy should confirm whether buyers can request refunds directly through Local Tickets, through organisers or through both routes.

Fees and payment processing

The final policy must confirm how Local Tickets platform fees, payment-processing fees, charity discounts, merchandise charges and postage charges are treated during full or partial refunds.

Chargebacks and disputes

Payment-provider dispute handling, evidence requirements, organiser responsibilities and staff permissions need to be confirmed with the selected provider before launch.

Audit trail

Refund, cancellation, buyer-email correction, support-note and ticket-resend actions should be permissioned and audit logged.
