Unfortunately Front Gate is not able to process partial refunds so they are unable to accommodate request such as this.

Front Gate has recommended to process your refund via the refund process via logging into your Front Gate account to obtain the full refund including the insurance fee that you paid. Should you decide to request a refund through the insurance company that you purchased through, they will likely keep their fee. Our refund window has closed – you can reach out to your insurance provider for a refund, however it may not be a full refund.

You will be receiving an email directly from Front Gate Tickets when your refund request has been processed. Front Gate Tickets currently anticipates that it will take as little as 30 days from the date you requested your refund to be processed. Once a refund request is processed, it will take 7-10 business days from the date in which your refund was processed for funds to be deposited back to your original method of payment. We thank you in advance for your patience.
