Ticketmaster FAQs
-
1How do I request a refund from Ticketmaster? Organizers for events individually choose if they want to offer refunds, but they often will provide them if an event is rescheduled. When you visit your account page, click the “Request Refund” button to submit your request. Once the refund processes, the funds are returned to the method of payment you used. [5] X Research source
- If an event is canceled, the funds will automatically be returned without making an additional request.
- If you don’t see a Request Refund button after an event is rescheduled, try contacting support through live chat or over the phone to see if you can get your money back.

2Why isn’t an order showing up in my account? First, make sure you’re logged into the correct Ticketmaster account if you accidentally signed in under another email address. If you ordered your tickets through a partner site, like Facebook or Groupon, check your email to see if they sent an email to claim your tickets. If you still don’t see your tickets, then contact the service you bought the tickets through or reach out to Ticketmaster support. [6] X Research source

3What do I do if my tickets are lost or stolen? Contact support either through chat or over the phone to ask for help. Have the order number or the card you bought the tickets with handy so you can relay the information to the representative and prove your purchase.
