Refunding and voiding Box Office sales

For sales taken via the Box Office, you will have the option to refund a booking in full, provide a part refund or void tickets with no refund.

• Fees: The processing fee, charged on card sales only, is reversed when a ticket is refunded. The ticket fee is non-refundable. This is true even for cash sales
• All refunds and voids are final. Once completed on your screen you will not be able to cancel or reverse the refund processed
• For Card transactions:
  • The refund will go back to the card that the payment was originally made on. They will see this come through to their statement within 5-10 Business days.
  • Do not require the card to be present nor does it require any action through the card reader
• For Cash transactions:
  • Will require you providing the customer with Cash from your till once the refund is complete in Vanco Events
