THE OPERATOR

Cancellation right/right to make alterations:

• The Operator also reserves the right to:-

• make material alterations (see paragraph 24 below) to the advertised offer; and
• cancel or re-schedule the allocated day or time, but will only do so for reasons beyond its reasonable control. (This might include, for example, a force majeure event, high winds, staff or headline artist illness, mechanical fault or a major power failure).

 

REFUND POLICY

• If a day/time slot or event is cancelled, you will be entitled to a refund from the Operator for the face value of the Ticket.
• If the advertised day/time slot or event is re-scheduled or subject to a material alteration after the date you bought the Ticket, the Operator will publish notice of this (see paragraph 28 below) and operate a refund scheme under which, if you choose not to attend the day/time slot or event, you may return your unused Ticket for a refund for the face value of the Ticket.  Applications for a refund should be made at the original point of purchase.
• A “material” alteration is a change which makes the day/time slot or event materially different to the day/time slot or event that purchasers of Tickets (taken generally) could reasonably expect. This is judged by reference to the nature and advertising of each Venue/event.
• You will not be entitled to a refund in the event of any non-material changes, or if you do attend the Venue/event, nor is there any more general right to a refund for unwanted Tickets.
• The Owner or Operator will refund the price paid for the Tickets which you have purchased (less delivery costs where the Tickets have been delivered to you) only and accepts no liability for travel, accommodation or any other expenses.
