Tethered Together Ticket Policies

The Only Place to Purchase Tethered Together Tickets is our Site.

Ticket transfers between individuals, ticket reselling and ticket gifting after the initial point of purchase are not allowed under any circumstances. As our event gets more popular and we start selling out earlier and earlier each year, we need to prevent secondary market upsells, outsider speculation and profiteering and private ticket sale scams. 

Preparing to host our event involves months of preparation and planning as well as travel and supply costs and we work to balance flexibility for you with stability and sustainability for our event.

  • We do offer face value ticket refunds as specified below up until January 1st at which point tickets can only be used in for the year you registered for or deferred one year to our next event for the named attendee to use at that time.
  • Tickets cannot be deferred more than one year into the future or used by someone else.
  • We do not refund ticketing fees, only face values of tickets ($225, $250, etc.) to cover our costs of offering flexibility.

Event tickets to Tethered Together 2027 are non-refundable after January 1st, 2027 and non-transferrable to other individuals at any point under any circumstances. 

Event tickets to Tethered Together 2027 become the property of the person listed as the event attendee on each ticket immediately upon payment. 

We strongly suggest that, except in the case of long-term committed partnerships, each attendee purchase their own event admission ticket. If you do not share legal name or email address information with someone, you should not be buying a ticket for them directly. In this situation, best practice would be to gift them ticket funds another way to allow them to handle their own purchase and personal information. 

We do not honor placeholder or duplicate tickets for our event or ticket transfers between private parties. We require that all tickets be purchased for you or other real people at the time of purchase. If you do not have a full set of information about your guest at the time of purchase, do not purchase a ticket for them. 

Each attendee is required to register using their full legal name as it matches their legal ID and provide a unique and valid email address for themselves at the time of ticket purchase. If you are purchasing a ticket for someone else and do not have their correct email address and full correctly spelled legal name, DO NOT purchase a ticket for them without confirming. Again, best practice for someone you do not know well and do not share this information with is to simply gift them the ticket funds another way and allow them to handle their own purchase.

For Tickets Where You are the Named Attendee:

  • Your ticket can be refunded to you up until January 1st, 2027 if you find yourself unable to attend the event for any reason. You will need to request a refund by email to [email protected] by January 1st, 2027. Refunds may take up to 10 business days to process.
  • After January 1st, 2027, all event tickets will need to be used by you as the named attendee for the 2027 event season OR deferred one year for you to use at our 2028 event. To defer your ticket, please fill out the form that will magically populate in this spot in early January ahead of the first day of our event.

For Tickets Where You Named Someone Else the Attendee:

  • This ticket becomes the property of the person you name. They (not you) are the only person who can initiate a request that their ticket be refunded to your initial card of purchase up until January 1st, 2027. They will need to do this by email to [email protected] by January 1st, 2026.
  • After January 1st, 2027, all event tickets will need to be used by the named attendee for the 2027 event season or deferred for one year ONLY for the same named attendee to use at our 2028 event. To defer a ticket for yourself purchased by someone else to you for our 2028 event, please fill out the form that will magically populate here in early January 2027 ahead of the first day of our event. 

Refund Details

  • In order to receive a refund before January 1st, 2027, the attendee named on the ticket will need to contact [email protected] directly using their contact email address in order to request a refund to the credit card used for ticket purchase.
  • If you purchased a ticket for someone else listed as the attendee, they (not you) need to be the person writing in for the refund request.

If Your Plans Change After January 1st:

  • Refunds are not available past January 1st, 2027 under any circumstances.
  • If you find that you cannot attend for any reason after January 1st, 2027, you can defer your paid ticket to yourself for our 2028 event but cannot transfer it to anyone else for our 2027 or 2028 event.
  • If someone else purchased a ticket for you to Tethered Together 2027 and you find that you cannot attend for any reason after January 1st, 2027, you can defer your ticket to yourself for our 2028 event but you cannot transfer your ticket to anyone else for our 2027 or 2028 event.

2026 Transfers

If you filled out the ticket transfer form last year, you received an email in September with information about registering for this year’s event. You will need to register before 1/1/2027 or whenever we are at capacity in order to attend.

In the unlikely event of a cancellation of our 2027 event, all tickets will by default be transferred to our 2028 event.

All ticketing-related inquiries need to be submitted by email to [email protected] and cannot be accepted any other way.
