For covered events, you can ensure your ticket purchase, up to $1,000, against unexpected situations with Event Ticket Insurance. By having Event Ticket Insurance you can help protect yourself against any unforeseen circumstances that would cause you to cancel your entertainment plans. If you can't attend this event for a covered reason, including illness, airline delays, transport accidents and more, you'll be reimbursed for 100% of your ticket price including booking or transaction fees.
Anyone buying a ticket to an event through the Ticketmaster website will be given the option to purchase insurance at the time of payment. Insurance can be purchased up until midnight the day prior to the event when bought online during the event ticket transaction.
Ticketmaster’s ticket insurance is offered on behalf of Allianz Global Assistance. The most Allianz Global Assistance will pay on an unused ticket is $1,000. Ticket insurance covers the cost of the ticket and booking fees if you are unable to attend the event due to a claimable circumstance.
Claimable circumstances include: injury or sickness, transport accidents, vehicle breakdown, redundancy, death and more. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for full details of terms and conditions and limits and exclusions that apply.
Cover starts as soon as the insurance is issued and ends when the event starts. If the event goes over a few days, the insurance ends at the start of the last day.
Once your order is complete, information is included on the online confirmation page acknowledging that ticket insurance has been purchased. You will also receive a confirmation email stating that insurance was purchased.
A 14-day cooling off period is applicable from the day the policy is issued. During this time, you can cancel and the full premium will be refunded (provided you have not travelled to the event and do not wish to make a claim against the policy). After the 14-day cooling off period, you can still cancel your policy but Allianz Global Assistance will not issue a refund.
If you wish to cancel your policy, email your details including your policy number and customer name to:
