Passenger Change

I've done some research and it looks like there is no possible way to change the name on a ticket?

 

I bought a ticket for my daughter (17 years old) to fly one way to a tournament. We are no longer attending that tournament and she doesn't need  the ticket. I was hoping to change it to my name and use it another time. 

 

Is there really NO way to change the name?? If not I am just screwed and have to eat the cost of the ticket? Sounds like complete BS to me. I'm hoping there is something that can be done. Thanks.

Assuming you bought a Wanna Get Away, a non-refundable, non-transferrable ticket: No.

 

This is the same on all carriers. At least on Southwest, when you cancel, you get travel funds good for the same passenger for one year from the date of purchase, without a change fee.
