You can view where a ticket was resold "from" or "to" by looking at the order view
Navigate to reports > orders
Search for an order by Order ID, name or email address
Click on their Order ID

Can a resale be cancelled or undone?
No. Once a resale has been actioned the original ticket is cancelled and refunded. This is immediate and cannot be undone.
Can Humanitix resale be used for name changes?
Yes! Humanitix resale is a really easy and secure way for ticket holders to issue a name change to their friends through a private resale.
Ticket holders should list their tickets for private resale and send the unique link to their friends to purchase their ticket(s).
The seller is refunded within 2-5 business days and the new buyer is issued a new ticket under their details.
By encouraging buyers to use a resale facility to pass on tickets you can mitigate any issues around ticket ownership or should any refunds need to be issued, then these are issued to the new ticket holder, not the original buyer.
Can a seller list multiple tickets for resale?
Yes. A seller can list multiple tickets, however, each ticket must be purchased individually.
