 Covered Reason means:
  • Sickness, accidental injury, or death of the ticketholder
  •  If the vehicle the ticketholder is traveling in is involved in a traffic accident while en route to the event.
  •  Ticketholder’s public transportation (including airlines, train, bus, and subway) is delayed due to strike, breakdown, or adverse weather conditions causing the ticketholder to miss the event.
  •  Ticketholder is unexpectedly required to be out of town, (more than 100 miles from home or the event) due to a work or family emergency, which requires an overnight stay and prevents the ticketholder from using the ticket.

Coverage is limited to the ticket’s face value up to $100 per Ticket, including any non-refundable service fees that are indicated on the ticket or receipt for up to four (4) tickets per event. Coverage is limited to $800 per twelve (12) month period.
