Double-check spelling, date filters, or payment details. If the buyer checked out as a guest, try using the last 4 digits of their card.
Can ticket buyers do this themselves?
Not currently. Name changes must be handled by the Organizer.
Does this update the ticket PDF and check-in list?
Yes, the updated names will reflect in both places.
