# Releasing Accepted Tickets Back to the Host

### When Guests Need to Release Their Tickets

Once a guest accepts a ticket invite, they are confirmed as attending and ready for express check-in. However, if circumstances change and they can no longer attend the event, guests can easily release their ticket back to the host.

Releasing a ticket makes it available for the host to reassign to another guest.

### How to Release an Accepted Ticket

Guests can release their ticket by following these simple steps:

1. Locate the confirmation email received when the ticket was originally accepted
2. Click the **Release Ticket** button in that email

After clicking the button, you'll be redirected to the ticketing site where your registration information is displayed. To complete the release process:

1. Review your registration details on the form
2. Scroll to the bottom of the form
3. Click **Release Ticket** to confirm your decision
