Can I get a refund on my upgrade?

Seatfrog upgrades are non-refundable once confirmed.

This applies to:

• Auction wins

• Upgrade Now purchases

Upgrades cannot be cancelled, transferred, or refunded once the barcode is issued.

However, specific disruption scenarios are handled differently.

If you placed a bid in error or your plans changed

If the auction has not started, you can retract your bid.

If the auction is live:

• Bids cannot be cancelled.

• Winning upgrades cannot be refunded.

If you win an upgrade, it cannot be cancelled.

No further action is available.
