Frequently asked questions
Cancel Eventbrite: The Right Way
How to cancel your Eventbrite account and reclaim your money in ireland
Why you might want to cancel your Eventbrite account
Eventbrite is a global ticketing and event management platform that enables organisers to create, promote and sell tickets for live and virtual events. If you organise events, Eventbrite provides tools for ticket creation, payment processing, email marketing and attendance analytics. If you buy tickets, Eventbrite serves as your marketplace to purchase and manage event access.
The platform charges per-ticket service fees for paid events and offers optional Pro subscription tiers that increase your daily email sending capacity and customer support access. Many users in Ireland decide to cancel either a subscription tier, a specific ticket purchase or their entire account for reasons including unused marketing tools, unresolved refund disputes, event postponements or a move to a competing platform.
Yafee specialises in helping Irish consumers navigate cancellation procedures with precision and confidence. Whatever your reason for cancelling, this guide walks you through each step and protects your legal position throughout.
Common reasons to cancel
You may wish to cancel if you have stopped organising events and no longer require Pro subscription features. Ticket buyers often seek cancellations when an event is postponed, cancelled or moved without notice, and they want their money back. Event organisers sometimes close their accounts entirely after migrating to a competitor or ceasing activity. Yafee recognises that each situation is distinct, which is why we focus on giving you the precise legal steps and protections you need.
Why cancellation matters under irish consumer law
Ireland's Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Distance Selling Regulations grant you statutory protections when cancelling online services and ticket purchases. If Eventbrite fails to honour your cancellation request or delays a refund without justification, you have escalation options through the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). This guide flags your consumer rights at every stage and shows you how to enforce them.
Eventbrite subscription plans and pricing in ireland
Understanding Eventbrite's pricing structure helps you decide whether cancelling a subscription aligns with your financial interests and event activity.
Current pro subscription tiers and monthly costs
Eventbrite offers three main Pro subscription levels in Ireland, each with increasing daily email send limits and marketing functionality. The following table shows typical monthly pricing in EUR:
| Plan | Monthly price (EUR) | Daily email sends | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro 2K | EUR 14 | Up to 2,000 | Small organisers with occasional events |
| Pro 6K | EUR 46 | Up to 6,000 | Growing organisers with regular marketing campaigns |
| Pro 10K | EUR 93 | Up to 10,000 | High-volume organisers and promotional teams |
Additional fees beyond subscription
Beyond subscriptions, Eventbrite charges per-ticket service fees for each paid ticket sold. These fees typically range between 2 to 3 percent of the ticket price plus a fixed amount per transaction. Payment processing fees apply separately. When you cancel a ticket purchase or event, these fees factor into any refund calculation Eventbrite makes.
Before you cancel, Yafee advises you to review your billing statement to understand exactly which fees have been charged and whether you qualify for a refund under Eventbrite's published policy.
Your consumer rights under irish law
Irish consumer legislation provides you with specific protections when cancelling Eventbrite services or ticket purchases.
Your legal position: distance selling and cooling-off rights
If you purchased a ticket through Eventbrite online, Ireland's Distance Selling Regulations grant you a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you receive your ticket confirmation or the date of the event, whichever is earlier. This means you can cancel without penalty or reason during this window and request a refund. Eventbrite must process your refund within 14 calendar days of receiving your cancellation notice.
If Eventbrite refuses your refund request or fails to process it within the statutory timeframe, you can escalate your complaint to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). The CCPC enforces consumer protection law in Ireland and has the power to compel companies to refund money or take corrective action.
Cancellation rights for subscription accounts
If you hold a Pro subscription, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 grants you the right to cancel with reasonable notice. Most online services require 7 to 30 days notice before cancellation takes effect. Eventbrite must not charge you for the subscription period after your cancellation date. If Eventbrite continues charging after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you can ask your bank or payment provider to dispute the charges as unauthorised transactions.
How to cancel your Eventbrite subscription or account
Follow these steps to cancel your Eventbrite Pro subscription or close your entire account. The process differs slightly depending on your device and account type.
Step 1: log in to your Eventbrite account
Open your web browser and navigate to www.eventbrite.com. Enter your email address and password in the login fields. If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and follow the email reset instructions. Ensure you have access to the email address registered to your account, as Eventbrite will send cancellation confirmation to this address.
Step 2: access your account settings
Once logged in, click your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear. Select "Account settings" from the menu options. This takes you to the page where you manage your subscription, billing information and account preferences.
Step 3: navigate to your subscription or billing section
In Account Settings, locate the "Subscriptions" or "Billing" tab. If you hold a Pro subscription, you will see your active plan listed with the renewal date and the amount you are charged monthly. If you do not see an active subscription, you may only have a free account with per-ticket fees, and you do not need to cancel a subscription tier.
Step 4: initiate cancellation of your pro subscription
Next to your active Pro plan, select the "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button. A confirmation page will appear asking you to confirm that you want to cancel. Read any message Eventbrite displays about final charges or refunds. Yafee recommends you take a screenshot of this confirmation for your records.
Step 5: confirm your cancellation request in writing
After clicking the final confirmation button, Eventbrite will send you a cancellation confirmation email within minutes. This email serves as your legal proof that you have cancelled. Save this email and do not delete it. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 hours, contact Eventbrite's support team immediately to verify that your cancellation was processed.
Step 6: close your entire Eventbrite account
If you wish to close your entire account (not just cancel a subscription), return to Account Settings and scroll to the bottom of the page. Look for an option labelled "Delete account" or "Close account". Click this link. Eventbrite will ask you to confirm deletion and may offer you a survey asking why you are leaving. Complete the final confirmation, and your account will be scheduled for deletion. Note that Eventbrite typically retains your data for 30 days before permanent removal, to allow you to recover your account if you change your mind.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding Eventbrite's refund timeline and policy ensures you know when your money will return to your account.
Refund processing times for ticket cancellations
If you cancel a ticket purchase within the 14-day cooling-off period, Eventbrite must refund you within 14 calendar days. Refunds are typically processed back to your original payment method (credit card, debit card or digital wallet). Depending on your bank, the refund may appear in your account within 3 to 5 additional business days after Eventbrite initiates the transfer.
If you cancel after the cooling-off period, refunds depend on the event organiser's cancellation policy. Yafee advises you to check the event details before purchasing to understand whether organisers will refund cancelled events. If an organiser cancels an event, you have an automatic right to a full refund under Irish consumer law, regardless of any stated policy.
Subscription refunds and pro-rata charges
When you cancel a Pro subscription, Eventbrite does not typically refund unused portions of your current billing month. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing cycle, at which point it terminates and you are not charged again. If you pay annually and cancel before the year ends, contact Eventbrite's support team to request a pro-rata refund. Yafee recommends submitting this request in writing so you have proof of your claim.
Checking your refund status
To track a refund, log back into your Eventbrite account and navigate to the "Purchases" or "My Tickets" section. This page shows all your transactions and refund status. If a refund shows as "processing" or "pending", it is in transit. If a refund shows as "completed" but has not appeared in your bank account, wait 3 to 5 more business days. If more than 5 business days have passed, contact your bank to check whether the refund was received and rejected.
Eventbrite's cancellation contact methods
If you cannot cancel through your account dashboard or need urgent assistance, Eventbrite provides multiple support channels.
Email support
Send a cancellation request to [email protected]. In your email, include your full name, account email address, the subscription plan you are cancelling (if applicable) and your order number or event ID. Request written confirmation of your cancellation. Send the email from the email address registered to your Eventbrite account to speed up verification. Keep a copy of your email and the subject line for your records.
Phone support
Call Eventbrite's international support line at +1 877 620 9578. Note that this is a US-based number, so international call rates may apply. Have your account details and order numbers ready before calling. Request the name and employee ID of the support agent you speak with. Ask for a reference number for your cancellation request.
Help centre and live chat
Visit the Eventbrite Help Centre at www.eventbrite.com/help. Search for "cancellation" or "subscription". The Help Centre contains FAQ articles and step-by-step guides. If live chat is available, use it to ask specific questions about your cancellation. Live chat conversations are typically logged and emailed to you, providing a written record.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling Eventbrite does not have to be stressful if you avoid these common pitfalls that delay refunds or create disputes.
Mistake 1: not confirming cancellation in writing
Deleting your password or simply stopping use of your account does not cancel your subscription. Eventbrite will continue charging your card unless you actively cancel through the Account Settings page or email support. Always obtain a written cancellation confirmation from Eventbrite. Take screenshots or save emails as proof that you cancelled on a specific date.
Mistake 2: confusing per-ticket fees with subscription charges
Many users believe that cancelling a Pro subscription removes all Eventbrite fees. In fact, per-ticket service fees apply separately to each ticket sold, even without a subscription. If you organise events and want to stop all Eventbrite charges, you must close your entire account, not just cancel your Pro plan. Yafee recommends clarifying with support whether you wish to cancel only the subscription or the entire account.
Mistake 3: missing the 14-day cooling-off window
If you purchase a ticket and later wish to cancel, you must submit your cancellation within 14 days of receiving your ticket confirmation. After 14 days, you lose the automatic right to a refund under distance selling law. Check your email for the ticket confirmation date and act quickly if you change your mind.
Mistake 4: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
After you cancel, monitor your bank or payment account for 5 to 10 business days to confirm that no further charges appear. If Eventbrite charges you again after your cancellation date, immediately contact your bank's dispute resolution department and report the charge as unauthorised. Your bank can reverse the charge and open an investigation.
What happens after your cancellation is processed
Cancellation takes effect on the date you submit your request, but several things happen in the background that you should understand.
Account access and event organiser dashboards
If you cancelled only your Pro subscription, your free account remains active and you can still create and manage events. However, you lose access to advanced email sending and priority support. If you closed your entire account, you lose access to your event organiser dashboard. Any events you created will be removed from the Eventbrite platform 30 days after deletion, unless you recover your account within this window.
Ticket buyer communications
If you organised events and ticket holders purchased tickets, cancelling your account does not automatically notify them. You remain responsible for informing ticket holders of any changes or cancellations. Yafee advises you to send a final email to all ticket holders before you close your account to avoid confusion or complaints.
Data retention and recovery
Eventbrite retains your personal data and transaction history for 30 days after account deletion. During this grace period, you can recover your account by logging in again. After 30 days, data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. If you need to export your event data or attendee lists before deletion, do so before you initiate account closure.
Comparison: cancellation methods and timeframes
The following table compares the different cancellation routes available to you and their typical processing times:
| Method | Processing time | Proof of cancellation | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account dashboard | Instant | Confirmation email + screenshot | Standard cancellations |
| Email to [email protected] | 24 to 48 hours | Reply email from Eventbrite | When dashboard cancellation fails |
| Phone support | Immediate verbally; 24 hours for written confirmation | Reference number from agent | Urgent or complex cancellations |
| Bank dispute (for unauthorised charges) | 5 to 10 business days | Bank dispute case number | When Eventbrite refuses to cancel |
| CCPC complaint (escalation) | 10 to 30 business days | CCPC case reference | When Eventbrite ignores cancellation |
If Eventbrite refuses to cancel or process your refund
In rare cases, Eventbrite may dispute your cancellation or delay your refund beyond the legal timeframe. You have clear legal remedies available in Ireland.
Escalating to the competition and consumer protection commission
If Eventbrite refuses to refund you within 14 days or does not acknowledge your cancellation request within 7 days, file a complaint with the CCPC. The CCPC is Ireland's independent consumer authority and investigates breaches of consumer law. To file a complaint, visit www.ccpc.ie and select "Make a complaint". Provide your cancellation proof (email confirmation, screenshots, reference number) and a clear description of Eventbrite's failure to respond.
The CCPC will contact Eventbrite on your behalf and can issue a directive ordering the company to refund you or take corrective action. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers use the CCPC process to enforce their rights and recover money from non-compliant service providers.
Disputing charges through your bank
If Eventbrite continues charging your card after you have cancelled, contact your bank or payment provider and request a chargeback or dispute. Tell your bank that you cancelled the subscription but Eventbrite ignored your cancellation. Your bank will investigate and can reverse unauthorised charges. Keep all cancellation evidence (emails, screenshots, confirmation numbers) to support your dispute.
Small claims court as a final option
If the amount in dispute exceeds the CCPC's resources or if Eventbrite fails to comply with a CCPC directive, you can pursue a small claims action in the District Court. In Ireland, the District Court handles claims up to EUR 15,000 without the need for a solicitor. Yafee recommends keeping all evidence organised in a folder before pursuing this route. You will need to provide your cancellation proof, correspondence with Eventbrite, bank statements showing the disputed charges and any CCPC correspondence.
Deciding whether to cancel: a summary checklist
Before you cancel, use this checklist to ensure you are making the right decision for your circumstances:
| Question | If yes, consider cancelling | If no, consider keeping |
|---|---|---|
| Are you no longer organising events regularly? | Cancel Pro subscription | Keep subscription for future events |
| Is your Pro subscription under-utilised? | Downgrade to free or cancel | Keep if email marketing is planned |
| Have you had an unresolved refund dispute? | Cancel and escalate to CCPC | Contact support to resolve first |
| Did an organiser cancel an event without offering refund? | Cancel and claim refund immediately | Request refund directly from organiser |
| Are you within the 14-day cooling-off period? | Cancel now to protect your rights | Cancellation may not be refundable after 14 days |
| Do you plan to use a competing platform? | Cancel and export your data first | Keep account for comparison |
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling your Eventbrite account or subscription is straightforward when you follow the correct legal procedure. Ireland's Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Distance Selling Regulations protect your right to cancel online services and ticket purchases within 14 days, and Eventbrite must refund you promptly. Use the dashboard cancellation method for speed, but always obtain written confirmation. Monitor your bank account for 5 to 10 business days to ensure no unauthorised charges continue. If Eventbrite refuses or delays, escalate to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission without hesitation.
