The Paris Opera is now offering you the chance to take out cancellation insurance on the tickets you purchase for performances and visits. As such, if you are unable to attend for justifiable reasons included in the list of events covered*, the cost of your tickets will be refunded by the insurance provider on presentation of the relevant receipts. Some of the covered events specifically include: accidents and serious illness, death of a close relation, birth of a child or grandchild, public transport strike, vehicle breakdown…
All the details concerning the incidents covered by the cancellation insurance can be found in Article 5 of the Specific terms of sale.
Please be advised: reservation errors or modifications are not covered by the cancellation insurance. The cancellation insurance is non-transferable. You will therefore need to identify yourself when you purchase your tickets in order to sign up for it. Insurance premiums are calculated in relation to the value of your order (a detailed table of charges can be found in the general terms of sale)
