Can I get a TRNSMT refund?
TRNSMT's terms and conditions state that refunds are typically only issued if the event has been cancelled in full, with partial refunds given if only one or more days is cancelled.
If a "material alteration" is made to the festival, customers can also request a refund. However, this does not include any changes to the line-up of the festival.
