Transfer your attendees to other ticket types, events, or seats

You can transfer attendees to other events, ticket types, or seats. Make sure your event uses Eventbrite Payment Processing, the attendee paid with a debit or credit card, and you have enough funds in your event. To get started, go to “Orders” (under "Manage attendees"), find the attendee you want to transfer, and choose “Transfer attendee”.

To transfer attendees, you must meet the following requirements:

Your event uses Eventbrite Payment Processing and the attendee paid for the order online with a credit or debit card.
You have enough funds in your remaining payout. Click "Add funds" on the Event Dashboard if you were already paid out. Learn more about adding funds to your event.
The attendee's current event hasn't started yet.
If transferring to a new event, the new event hasn't started yet.
Check the ticket settings on the ticket type you’re transferring to. The minimum tickets per order must be set to 1.
The order isn't checked in.
Your event isn't password-protected.

TIP: If you want to give attendees the ability to transfer on their own tickets, follow these steps. Self-service transfers are not available for reserved seating events.

2. Go to your Event Dashboard.

Go to “Manage events” in your account. Then select your event.

3. Go to "Orders" (under Manage Attendees).

4. Find the order.

Scroll down until you see the attendee’s order. If you have a lot of orders, use the search field to find the order faster. You can search by order number, name, or email address.

5. Choose the attendee you would like to transfer and select “Transfer attendee”.

Select “Actions” in the dropdown next to the attendee you want to transfer. Then select “Transfer attendee”. You can only transfer one attendee at a time.

Follow the steps below.

If you are transferring to a new ticket type or seat on the same event:

Click “Change ticket”.
Select the new ticket type.
For reserved seating events, use the “Seating” option to pick a seat.
Click “Continue”.

Select “Register." Attendees can access their new ticket by logging in on the Eventbrite website or mobile app using the email address associated with their order.
