Purplepass' Refund Options for Cancelled Events

These things happen! If you need to cancel your event, don't worry, Purplepass makes it easy to cancel, reschedule and make the necessary changes all within your account.

Promoters who need to cancel an event have a few different options they can offer to their guests.

  • Nonprofit events can use their ticket as a tax-deductible donation
  • Offer exchanges or ticket transfers to another show time and/or date 
  • “Mark an event as cancelled” in which all customers are automatically refunded and emailed an update. ** This function is irreversible. If you are using PayPal to receive funds, you will need to cancel the event on Purplepass AND refund everyone from your PayPal account directly.
