If you are no longer able to attend the event, we would appreciate it if you could make your tickets available to others so that those who want to watch in person can attend. If you want to transfer your tickets to someone you know, you can do so via this link - https://www.gigantic.com/help/transfer-tickets.

We are very sorry that we cannot accommodate all spectators who might want to attend on certain days when they are booked out. As and when tickets might become available, we will make that known.
