Whether you’ve had a change of plans, a scheduling conflict, or simply wish to watch a different movie, this guide has got you covered.

Step 1: Understand Cineplex’s Cancellation Policy

Before diving into the cancellation process, it’s crucial to understand Cineplex’s ticket cancellation policy:

To cancel your tickets, you will need the following details:

• Confirmation Number: This is provided in your confirmation email when you purchase the tickets.
• Email Address: The email you used to book the tickets.

3. Receive Confirmation: After the cancellation is processed, you should receive a confirmation email. This email serves as proof of your cancellation and will detail the refund process.

Step 6: Check Your Refund

• Processing Time: Refunds can take a few days to appear on your credit card statement, depending on your bank’s processing times.
• Service Fees: Remember that while the ticket cost will be refunded, service fees might not be.

Alternative Method: Canceling Through the Cineplex App

Alternative Method: Using Cineplex Zendesk Portal

I recently had to cancel my movie tickets that I bought using the Cineplex App and had to look online for the information. This is how you do it:

1. Open Cineplex Zendesk Portal.
2. Go to the E-tickets FAQs section and click on the "See all articles" link.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and hit the "Contact Us" button, which brings up a pop-up to chat with the support (online 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.).
4. Click "Chat" and tell the support person that you want to cancel. They will ask for your booking ID, which is on the top right corner of the PDF attached to the confirmation email when you booked.
5. After they confirm your details and reason to cancel, they should issue a refund. Make sure to contact them before the movie starts.

Contacting Cineplex Customer Service

If you encounter issues during the cancellation process or if you’re past the allowed cancellation window and need assistance, contacting Cineplex customer service is your next step.

1. Visit the Help Section: Go to the Cineplex Help Centre on their website.
2. Submit a Request: You can submit a request form with your issue details.
3. Live Chat: Cineplex offers a live chat option for immediate assistance.
