Ticket & refund policy

Last updated 29 September 2026

The short version: packages are non-refundable unless we cancel, postpone or move the event, or something went wrong with your payment. You can change names in your group.

How refunds are paid

Refunds go back to the card or account you paid with, through the same payment provider, within 10 working days of approval. Your bank may take a few more days to show it. Payment-provider fees are not deducted from refunds we owe you.

Transfers and name changes

The lead booker can change who is in their group, or hand the whole package to someone else, by emailing us with the ticket reference up to 48 hours before the event. There's no fee. Reselling above face value isn't allowed.

Upgrades

You can upgrade to a bigger or platinum package while they're available by paying the difference. Email us with your reference and we'll send a payment link.

How to ask

Email techemberfest@gmail.com with your ticket reference (it starts with TEF-) and what happened. We reply within 3 working days.
