Restore Accidentally Deleted Old Expired Passes from the Apple Wallet

I accidentally deleted All Old Expired Passes from my Apple Wallet, I have also enabled iCloud to backup my Apple Wallet. However, I can't seem to find a place where I can restore my accidentally deleted Old Expired Passes.

They were quite sentimental and I would appreciate if anyone can give me a step by step guidance to restore these boarding passes, theatre tickets and national park tickets.

Thank you

Sorry, they’re gone. When you remove expired passes they are gone. The backup to iCloud preserves tickets/passes that have not been removed.

Please contact the support team for the company you purchased tickets from or try adding the passes to your Wallet using the email/QR code you used to add the passes, when you purchased them.

Hi Jeff, thanks for replying. Actually, I have some good news! It's good luck that I had enabled iCloud to backup my Apple Wallet & other apps.

I reached out to the Apple Support guys and the Apple Wallet is now restored to the last backup.

The process to do that is:

you would have to reset your phone
once you reset it will be back to it's factory settings
now, start setting up the phone and then - choose the last back (say 3 days ago)
once you do that - it will bring back all the data that was deleted.
now the catch here is - your messages & some other data will be from 3 days ago
