UPDATES ON SEPTEMBER, 11 2020: In light of the legislative changes made to art. 88 of Law no. 24 of 2020 by article 183 of law no. 77 of 2020 (the so-called "Relaunch Decree"), published on July, 18 2020 on the Gazzetta Ufficiale and the clarifications made regarding its application, we inform you that, starting from September, 18 2020 and limited to cancelled events, it will be possible to proceed with the request for conversion from voucher to monetary refund.
What requirements must your request meet?
Finally, we remind you that all vouchers already issued and not converted into monetary refunds remain valid and can be used for the purchase of new tickets within the 18 months of validity.
The organizers of the events, as well as the ticketing companies interested in the sale of tickets for the shows organized by them, reserve the right to promptly update concert ticket holders with any news, including by updating the FAQs.
According to the provisions in the Decree Law "Decreto Cura Italia" and pursuant to Article 88 of the Decree Law No. 18 dated March, 17 2020 converted to the Law 27/2020, then amended by the Decree Law No. 34 dated May, 19 2020 (Article 183 Paragraph 11) and converted with amendments to Law No. 77 dated July, 17 2020, for the events originally scheduled during the restriction period due to the Covid-19 health emergency that have been cancelled or rescheduled, tickets will be reimbursed through a voucher, if requested by each Event Organizer. Ticketmaster will inform as soon as possible the customers affected by this reimbursement method, who will receive the information about requesting, receiving and spending the voucher on Ticketmaster.it. We kindly invite you to monitor the updates on the events and artists on the Organizer’s website as well. We remind you also that, once issued the voucher can only be spent on Ticketmaster.it and only for the purchase of future events scheduled by the same Organizer.
Following the recent legislative changes to art. 88 of the law decree n. 18/2020, vouchers can be used within 36 months from the date of issue. The extension also applies to vouchers already issued. We remind you to check the issue date of your voucher to determine the new expiration date. Ticketmaster Italia informs that a new voucher with an updated expiration date will not be issued.
We kindly invite customers to carefully follow the indications given and send the reimbursement requests only through the channels written in our FAQs and indicated by our Customer Service and not through other channels such as social media, other Ticketmaster emails and payment provider platforms. In order to be considered valid, the reimbursement requests must be submitted according to the procedure clearly indicated in the dedicated customer care section.
We thank again all customers for their patience and collaboration during this difficult period due to the COVID-19 health emergency, highlighting that the wait and refund times will be longer than usual and may extent to the next few months. We kindly invite customers to wait for our reply to the requests already submitted, without sending out more requests on the same topic.
Caring for the safety and well-being of our fans has been and always will be Ticketmaster’s most important priority, especially during challenging times like these. As global health concerns continue to develop, our team is working diligently behind the scenes, coordinating with local authorities in monitoring and assessing overall impact, while actively supporting the artists, promoters, festivals and venues you love as they work out how best to proceed with the thousands of events they have on the horizon.
While some events unfortunately have had to be cancelled, we are working with many of our event partners to see how best to reschedule each event for your enjoyment. As you can imagine, this takes time, so we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this new territory.
In order to provide you with as much information as we can, we have created a dedicated section that will be consistently updated with changes to the status of all impacted events, so feel free to check back often.
As a result of the high volume of cancellations and rescheduled events, we encourage you not to reach out directly with a refund request. The best way to check your event status is through this section.
In the meantime, please see below for more detailed guidance:
- For future events that are still scheduled, you’re all set. There’s nothing you need to do. If anything changes, we will contact you with updates.
- If your event has been cancelled, there’s also nothing you need to do. We’ll get in touch with you directly with more information.
- If your event has been rescheduled, we are working with the event organiser to identify new dates, and we will contact you as soon as we have confirmation and more information this.
- For additional information, you can visit our help centre.
Please understand that due to the high volume of enquiries, our Fan Support team is experiencing longer than normal wait times.
For now, we want to thank you for being such a valued part of the live entertainment world. We are working around the clock on solutions and truly apologise for any inconvenience.
At Ticketmaster, our vision is to connect people through the power of live events. What makes these experiences so special is the pure joy we feel from being among a community of like-minded, dedicated fans. We’d like to take a moment to offer our most sincere support to any of our fellow fans, friends and family who have been affected by this virus. We wish everyone the best health and safety during this difficult time, and we look forward to returning to our favourite live events as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Ticketmaster
