Are tickets refundable if the competitor lineup changes?

What do I do if I can’t find my tickets?
When you purchased tickets, you were assigned a Transaction ID and you selected a PIN. When you wish to have a ticket re-issued because you have lost or misplaced it, go to the Main Page and click on “Reissue tickets that have been lost or stolen .” You will be prompted to enter your Transaction ID and your PIN. The system will then invalidate the ticket that was lost or stolen and create a new ticket for you to print. The new ticket will be available for printing as it was when you first purchased it. The old ticket has been canceled and cannot be used. If it is presented at the venue, it will be invalid. You may also call 1800-514-3849 to have your tickets re-issued.
