Refund process

The refund will be handled by the credit card company that was used for the purchase of the tickets. Normally it will take between 5 and 30 business days before the refund is reflected on their statement.


Furthermore, for credit cards, the refund timing will vary depending on the cutoff date of the credit card (we cannot look up the cutoff date of a credit card). Please see below for more details: 


  • The date of the cancellation lies before the cutoff date of the credit card
    The refund process will be handled in the current month. This means that the payment will not be made, and no money will be deducted. In many cases, both the payment and the cancellation will appear separately on the credit card statement.


  • The date of the cancellation lies after the cutoff date of the credit card
    The payment of the order will be processed as usual. The refund is processed next month through a negative invoice.


* For events in Japan: For tickets paid via convenience store/ATM payment, ticket buyers will be refunded to their bank account. After the event cancellation has been processed, they will receive an email (in Japanese) explaining the refund process.
