In the T&C it says:
C. No cancellations or amendments are possible after confirmation of your booking, unless permitted by airline. Airlines impose fees to all changes on all tickets after they have been issued. All such fees, if applicable, are participant’s responsibility.
So you might indeed get away with this... not a bad idea.
