| **Cancel Event**    | It isn't happening                 | Everyone is refunded. The page stays up with a cancelled notice. |

## Common questions

### What happens to people's money when I cancel?

bzar refunds every ticket buyer and every paid vendor in full, including any application fee.

### Are people told?

Only if you turn on **Send cancellation email to vendors & attendees**. It starts off, so decide before you confirm.

### Why can't I delete my event?

Events with applications or tickets sold can't be deleted. Cancel them instead. Only the owner and Admins can delete.

### Can I undo a cancellation?

No. Create the event again, or clone it.
