Transferring an Entry to Another Person

Transferring an entry allows participants to pass their booking to someone else if they can no longer attend. This is one of the available self-management options, giving participants flexibility while keeping you in control of payments and fees.

Depending on your settings, you can:

  • Allow participants to settle payments between themselves, or

  • Have the system collect payment from the new participant and automatically refund the original participant

  • Apply an administration or transfer fee, if required


How Participants Transfer Their Entry

1. Open the Booking

Participants should start by opening their email confirmation and clicking the link to view their booking.

💡 If they have more than one active booking, they’ll need to select the correct ticket from the bookings page before continuing.


2. Manage the Ticket

Once viewing the correct booking, participants can click Manage ticket.

They will see a “Transfer to someone else” button
(Available on both desktop and mobile)


3. Enter the New Participant’s Details

After clicking Transfer to someone else, a pop-up will appear asking for:

  • New participant’s name

  • New participant’s email address

An invitation will then be sent to the new participant.


4. New Participant Completes the Entry

The new participant must:

  • Open the invitation email

  • Complete the full event entry form

What happens next depends on whether payment is required.


What Happens With Payments?

If No Payment Is Required

  • Once the new participant confirms the entry form:

    • The original participant is removed from the event

    • The new participant is added to the start list

  • The transfer is completed immediately


If Payment Is Required

This may include:

  • A ticket price difference

  • An administration or transfer fee

In these cases:

  • The transfer will not be completed until payment has been successfully processed

  • Once payment is complete:

    • The transfer is finalised

    • Refunds (if applicable) are handled automatically based on your settings


Good to Know

  • Transfers remain pending until all required steps (including payment) are completed

  • You control whether payments are handled privately or through the system

  • Fees can be applied to discourage last-minute or unnecessary transfers
