Canceling your Zoom Events ticket and refund policy
It is always possible to cancel your ticket for a free event before the start of the event.
For some paid events, tickets can be refunded if you cancel your ticket at least one hour before the event starts if you want a full refund. The host has the final decision to accept or deny your refund request if you cancel your registration outside of the cancellation period.

How to cancel your ticket
Note: If the host accepts cancellations, you’ll see the option to cancel a ticket. It is the host’s final decision whether to accept or decline a ticket cancellation request if the event does not have a cancellation policy. Cancellation requests do not have to be approved by the host. Individual/series events can be canceled by the organizer.
Ticket sales for paid events canceled by the organizer will be fully refunded.
There is a possibility of cancellation of some events if some of them have ticket sales. Individual sessions and series of events can be partially reimbursed via Zoom Events. Attendees can now request partial refunds from event organizers. You can cancel some events in the event series and receive a partial refund for those events at the event level. Ticket cancellations and refunds are possible for some tickets within an order.
Attendees can also receive a full refund if the host agrees to the cancellation request, which can be as early as one hour before the event starts or up to 14 days after the event ends. The host is the only person responsible for refunding cancellations that are not covered by the cancellation policy. After 14 days from the end of the event, there is no refund request or action for an event. As we discuss in more detail in the Zoom Events Terms of Service, you cannot initiate or request a refund for an event after 14 days.
Note: The amount of your refund may differ from the amount you originally paid for a ticket if you paid for it in a foreign currency. This depends on the exchange rate at the time of purchase and the amount you were refunded.

This is how ticket purchases are reimbursed
Once the refund request is approved, you (the buyer) will receive a refund and the ticket will become invalid.
In the event that you paid for an event using the same currency as your credit or debit card was issued in – usually in the country where you opened/registered the card – and requested a refund and your refund request was accepted , receive the same refund regardless of the currency the host charges for tickets.
Example: If you are paying USD 10.00 for a ticket, you are using a USD-denominated credit card. The exact amount you paid for the item will always be refunded if the refund request is approved – in this case $10.00.
Note: Based on the exchange rate at the time of purchase and refund, you may be refunded more or less than what you originally paid for a foreign currency ticket.
Partial Refund Policy
Note: For the time being, partial refunds will only be granted for individual events/event series.
A partial refund policy is also an option for additional scenarios alongside a full refund policy. Partially refunded tickets and events can be configured by the host. Ticket sales can force the host to cancel some events in a row if they are sold out. Depending on the situation, the host may issue a 50% refund.
For some tickets, a single event order can be cancelled. If you want to cancel one event from the entire series, you can do that too.
User tickets are automatically credited when a promoter cancels an event series or one of their events.
