Ticket protection - Resell invalidated tickets
RELEASED IN V3.4 You have ticket protection activated in your Ticketshop but you would like to be able to resell the tickets once they have been reimbursed? With this feature, the system automatically releases that seat and puts it back on sale.
The best part: The organizer keeps the revenue from the first sale — because Cover Genius reimburses the fan, not the organizer— earns a commission on the protection policy, AND earns again when the seat is resold. That's triple revenue on a single seat for sold-out events
Solution
When this feature is activated, the reimbursed (invalidated) ticket is exchanged against an open product, which frees the seat while the funds stay marked as collected in the financial reports.
