Insurtech Cover Genius, which specialises in embedded protection, has partnered with end-to-end ticketing company Future Ticketing to provide booking refund protection solutions embedded directly in their users’ websites, supporting sports fans, festival goers and live entertainment attendees across the UK and Ireland.

Peter McNeile, UK and international sales director at Future Ticketing, said: “This new partnership helps grow the availability of protection solutions for event-and-racegoers all over the UK and Ireland who purchase tickets via our users.”

Peter Smith, senior vice president, travel, ticketing and Mobility, at Cover Genius, added: “With today’s uncertainty, people want to be protected when life happens and unexpected challenges come up… our focus is making protection as relevant, convenient and accessible as possible directly within the ticketing purchase journey.”

The cover will enable people to claim for the face value of their unused ticket for reasons such as injury, illness, jury service, burglary at their premises or accident/breakdown on the way to the event.
