# How To Re-Assign Tickets (updated)
There may be cases where a purchaser of a group of tickets, for example a "Table of 8" Tickets item may not actually have guests to fill all of the seats and will ask to have one or more tickets assigned to other bidders. The purchaser may require an existing assigned ticket be set to a different bidder and it could also be possible they are asking for a guest that is not registered, yet, to be assigned the ticket.
