[Business] Who receives the confirmation and cancellation emails for tickets?
This answer is specific to Trainline for Business users.
If I buy two tickets for two colleagues (i.e. users of my organisation), will they also receive them? If they then go to cancel these tickets, will I be notified as well? The answer is yes - for both cases. Our email notification system works the following way:
- The user who the ticket was purchased for will always receive a confirmation by email.
- We add everyone else who took part in the reservation (e.g. the person who made the booking) in copy of the confirmation email.
Here are a few examples to help you recap how this applies to different scenarios:
