  1. 1'Website or app error' - Clear cache, restart browser, or try the mobile app instead of the website.
  2. 2'Can't find confirmation code' - Check your email for the 6-character alphanumeric code.
  3. 3'Missed check-in cutoff' - If you fail to check in 60 minutes prior, your ticket will be deemed a No-Show Cancellation.
