What is the ticket service charge?
Is it legal for a company to keep the ticket service charge?
In case of ticket cancellation, the organizer is obliged to refund the amount of the ticket except the service charge, as indicated by the regulations.
Organizers can decide to refund the ticket amount excluding the service charge.
Have exceptional measures been taken due to COVID-19?
The Spanish government approved article 36.2 of Royal Decree-Law 11/2020, of March 31, which explains how to proceed with the refund of tickets for events that are not held due to Covid-19 circumstances. It indicates that the event organizer is obliged to return the amounts paid by the user "except for expenses incurred and duly itemized".
Why is the service charge returned in some occasions and some others not?
The responsability of deciding whether to refund the service charge or not relies on the organizer of the event, in accordance with the applicable regulations at all times.
Is it possible that some customers of an event receive a full refund of their purchase, and some others of the same event only a ticket refund?
Some organizers/promoters have been requesting the need not to return the service charge as they are expenses incurred. Depending on when the request was made, entradas.com applied one procedure or another. This is why it is possible that, on some occasion, the processing of the ticket refunds belonging to the same event may vary due to exceptional causes such as the Covid-19 pandemic, and the need to adapt to the measures and legislative developments promoted by the government.
