How Do “If Necessary” Tickets Work?

Modified on Mon, 25 Aug at 1:13 PM

Some events are scheduled as “if necessary” games or matches. These only take place if certain conditions are met in a series or tournament.


Examples of “If Necessary” Events

  • Playoff Game 5, 6, or 7 (depending on the format)

  • Tiebreaker matchups

  • Conditional rounds in tournaments

These tickets are made available in advance so fans can secure their spot early—but the event may never be played if results make it unnecessary.


What Happens If the Event Doesn’t Occur?

You’re fully protected by the Tickets-Center 100% Guarantee. If the game or match is officially ruled out:

  • You’ll receive a full refund, including all service fees

  • Refunds are processed automatically—no action required on your end
