    The From → To summary you confirm before the change is made.

    How to Change Your Ticket

    1. Go to your Participant Dashboard and select the event
    2. Find the "Manage your ticket" comparison section below your entry
    3. Compare your current ticket with the other ticket cards, including distance, entry price and any cost or account credit
    4. Choose Upgrade, Downgrade or Switch on the ticket you want
    5. Review the From → To summary, then confirm the change or continue to card payment

    Pricing

    • Same price: Change is free and immediate
    • Higher price: The summary shows the entry-price difference, processing fee and total to pay. Use available credit in the booking currency or pay by card
    • Lower price: Eligible differences are added to account credit. Processing fees are never credited; no money goes back to your card

    Sold Out Ticket Types

    If a ticket type is sold out, it will be marked with a "Sold Out" badge and you won't be able to select it. You can still see all ticket types to understand what's available.

    Event Finalized

    If the event has been finalized by the organizer, ticket changes are no longer available. The comparison section explains why the options are unavailable. Use Get support if you need help after finalization.
