Cancellation and Refund Policy

The Colorado Mountain Club adheres to a strict cancellation and refund policy. Please review this page carefully before making purchases or signing up for programing.

Ticketed Events

Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and seat selection (if applicable). Tickets bought through www.cmc.org are fully refundable for 3 calendar days (72 hours) after your purchase date, up to one week before the show. There are no refunds or exchanges available one week before the show with no exception.  You may do one exchange per person, per event. Tickets purchased at the CMC office must be returned or exchanged at the office; Exceptions to the 3-day refund policy include VIP, premium tickets, tickets purchased through an auction or resale, tickets purchased with additional related items and/or bundled products.  In addition, we may occasionally offer tickets at a discount after the original on sale date and will not refund the difference between the original price and the discounted price. Please note that the 3-day refund policy will not apply where we determine, in our sole discretion, that the tickets were purchased for a commercial purpose or in any other way in violation of our Terms of Use. Colorado Mountain Club is not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets.

You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us when we are prohibited from providing one by a third party, and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from www.cmc.org. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using our Site.
