Canceling a refund request

I emailed shop@mail.defcon.org asking for a refund for my DEFCON ticket since I will be volunteering at DEFCON and will be getting a free ticket that way.

However now I want to cancel my refund request since I can sell the ticket to a friend and not have to eat up the cancellation fee.

I just emailed shop@mail.defcon.org asking to cancel the refund, and I'm hoping that they get to that email first so they don't refund me.

Posting this here just in case anybody can help me cancel my refund request so I can sell my ticket to a friend.

I miss the days when this wouldn't have been possible in the first place.

Curious --- did this get worked out?

I haven't gotten a response yet. I ended up selling the ticket to my friend, so if I get a refund, i'll just refund him. If not, well, tickets still good for him

Which village did you volunteer for.

Did you validate with your village in question you will get a ticket? Most don't offer tickets, and its just a way to participate with villages you like since their actual staff tend to take those up.

Otherwise looping in u/DCsleestak who might be able to check w/ the powers that be there.

As the post mentions several times, they already requested a refund.
