What should I do if my event is canceled?

Asked 5 months ago
If your event is canceled, the first step is to communicate with your ticket buyers promptly. It is essential to provide clear information regarding the cancellation and any available options for them. Ticket buyers generally appreciate transparency, so explaining the reason for the cancellation can help maintain goodwill. Next, it is advisable to check the refund policies set forth by the platform. Eventbrite typically has guidelines on how to process refunds for canceled events. Organizers should navigate to the event dashboard on Eventbrite to initiate refunds if that is the chosen course of action. Additionally, it can be helpful to consider offering ticket holders options such as rescheduling the event or providing tickets for a future event if applicable. This may encourage attendees to remain engaged and potentially attend future events. It is also recommended to review the website for up-to-date information regarding policies or contact details, in case further assistance is needed. By maintaining open lines of communication and offering solutions, event organizers can help to ensure a positive experience even in the face of a cancellation.
