First reflex: identify the error

Before you act, take a moment to understand exactly what is wrong. Reread your confirmation and compare it to what you wanted to order. Is it a wrong date, an incorrect number of tickets, an incorrect category, or a simple typo in a name? The nature of the error determines the most suitable solution and the speed with which to react.

The solutions actually available depend on your ticketing conditions.

The procedure to follow

  1. 1

    Act as soon as possible

    The sooner you do it after purchase, the more possible corrections are generally possible.

  2. 2

    Check your customer area

    Some errors, such as an incorrect email, can be corrected directly in “My Orders”.

  3. 3

    Read the event conditions

    They indicate what can be changed, canceled or transferred for your ticket.

  4. 4

    Contact the ticket office

    If no option is available, clearly explain your error to support with supporting evidence.

When the error cannot be corrected

Sometimes a direct correction is not possible. In this case, look at the alternatives depending on your situation: cancel then repurchase if cancellation is planned, or transfer the ticket to another person. For a wrong date, check if a change of session is allowed. These options depend on the conditions of the event, detailed in our guides dedicated to modification, cancellation and transfer.

Avoid mistakes next time

Most errors occur on the summary screen, just before payment. Get in the habit of spending ten seconds: check the date, number of tickets, category, names and total. This simple glance avoids the vast majority of unpleasant surprises and saves you time later.

Frequently asked questions

I got the date wrong, can I correct it?
Sometimes, depending on the conditions of the event. A change of session is possible at some ticket offices, but not at others. Check your conditions and, if not, consider transferring the ticket. Act as soon as possible.
I ordered too many tickets, what should I do?
Check if cancellation is planned: cancellation followed by a new purchase is sometimes the only way to adjust the quantity. Refer to our “Cancel a ticket” guide and act without delay.
Is a mistake in the name serious?
Not always, but it is better to correct it, especially for a nominative ticket. Look in your customer area, then contact the ticket office if necessary. Our guide “The nominative ticket” details this point.
Where do I turn to correct an error?
To the site on which you purchased, which manages your order. Have your order number, email used, and a clear description of the error ready to speed up processing.
