Overall Experience with Fanshield
The instructions are user-friendly and very well written. I think it's great that Fanshield allows for cancellations if needed. The process to get a refund is very clear and concise and user-friendly. The response time was excellent!

REFUND REFUSED
I work in the ER and we had a catastrophic event that I was mandated to go to work. My wife and I were unable to attend our Valentines Day concert and FANSHIELD refused to refund our ticket costs.
I have tried multiple times to explain this and they would not comply.
Highly DISCOURAGE using this company.

Hello Doug,
We’re very sorry you were unable to attend your event, we understand how frustrating that must have been during what was already a difficult situation.
Our protection is intended to refund our consumers if they are unable to attend their event due to an unforeseen situation such as needing to travel to attend an unforeseen business trip. We unfortunately are not able to provide refunds for being scheduled or mandated to work.
That said, we’re always open to taking another look and making sure everything was handled correctly. A dedicated member of our team will be reaching out directly to discuss your situation further and see if there are any other options available.
Thank you,

I highly recommend the FanShield Protection Plan. It provides excellent peace of mind as a reliable backup. I sustained a foot injury during training, and the plan was incredibly helpful in recovering the cost of my marathon registration fees.
Thank you for your outstanding support throughout the protection program and refund process. This coverage is truly valuable for marathon runners when unexpected injuries occur.

I should have read the reviews BEFORE I signed up for FanShield. Requirements for a medical cancellation are beyond invasive.

Hello Susan,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations and felt the medical documentation requirement was invasive.
Our protection is intended to protect our consumers if they are unable to attend their event due to an unforeseen emergency situation. If illness/injury prevented you from attending, our refund advocate team will only need a recommendation against attending the event on the date of your event, they do not require any diagnosis or personal information.
This requirement, along with the full scope of coverage and proof of loss, is presented and agreed to at the time of purchase.
A dedicated member of our team will be reaching out to you directly to review your situation further. Our goal is always to provide clarity and make sure your questions are fully addressed.
Best regards,
