Something went wrong with transport, or you’ve run into an emergency situation? Life happens. That’s why we offer extra ticket Booking Refund Protection through our partners at XCover. We’ve got your back with this easy add-on for just a small percentage of the ticket price.
What’s covered?
Refund protection ensures that your tickets are refundable if you or one of the ticket holders in your group cannot attend the event for a reason outlined in your plan. You’re covered up to your purchase price of the ticket. This includes:
Refund for illness or injury to you or others attending
Covered public transport failures
Emergency services issues or severe weather
Jury services summons or military duty posting
Check the Refund Protection Help Centre to see the most common questions. The team at XCover is there to help you and answer any questions you might have.
You can also check the full Terms & Conditions to understand all the details of your coverage.
What’s not covered?
This protection is subject to additional terms, conditions and exclusions. Make sure you check your plan, as coverage can differ from country to country.
Typically, XCover Booking Refund Protection does not cover you for the following:
Changing your mind or just wanting a refund for unused tickets
When you haven’t provided documents requested by the XCover Claims Team
If your event was cancelled or rescheduled by the event organiser (in which case the refund would come from the event organiser, depending on their Terms and Conditions)
A refund request that’s not covered by the plan
Your tickets don’t work at the door – TicketSwap will help resolve the situation in this case
