        <p>If your show is canceled, you'll receive a full refund. If an event has been postponed or rescheduled, your tickets will remain valid for the new date. For some rescheduled performances, the primary ticket source may reissue tickets with updated barcodes. If this occurs, we’ll deliver your new tickets and remind you to discard any previous versions.</p>
