Voglio un rimborso per questo biglietto.

I want a refund for this ticket.

Pronunciation

'Rimborso' — 'rim-BOR-so'. Three syllables; stress on the second.

When to use it

State clearly at the ticket office when you need your money back — for a cancelled event, a train that was significantly delayed, or a ticket bought in error.

What it means

'Rimborso' means refund. 'Per questo biglietto' means 'for this ticket'. Italian consumer law requires refunds for cancelled events. For transport, Trenitalia refunds if the delay exceeds 60 minutes on long-distance services.
