2. Incorporation
These Terms and Conditions incorporate and should be read in accordance with the Venue and/or Promoter terms, conditions and regulations, copies of which are available upon request from the Venue. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms in relation to Venue or Event requirements, those of the Promoter shall prevail. If no Promoter, those of the Venue shall prevail.
These Terms and Conditions are an extension of STAR’s Code of Practice which is available from STAR (0870 603 9011, www.s-t-a-r.org.uk)
3. Tickets
All Tickets are sold subject to availability and to these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions should be read carefully prior to purchase and any queries relating to them should be raised with us prior to purchase as purchase of Tickets constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions
We confirm that We are authorised to sell Tickets.
A valid Ticket must be produced to get into an Event. Removing any part of, altering or defacing the Ticket may invalidate Your Ticket.
It is Your responsibility to check Your Tickets as if you have made a mistake they cannot always be rectified after purchase. Please check your Tickets on receipt carefully and contact us immediately if there is a mistake.
We will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. It is not always possible to issue duplicate tickets, for example but not limited to non-seated events where there is a possibility of both the original and duplicate tickets being used, compromising the licensed capacity of the venue. Duplicates may therefore be issued at the discretion of the Promoter or the Venue acting reasonably. In the event of duplicates being issued, a reasonable administration charge may be levied.
We and the Promoter reserve the right to provide alternative seats at an Event to those specified on the Ticket should the staging of the Event so reasonably require, provided they are of no less value to that stated on the Ticket.
Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example of age or student status) may be required.
Ownership or possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on You to use, alter, copy or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trade marks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.
4. Price and payment
The price of the Ticket shall be the price set at the time We accept Your order. All prices set are inclusive of any applicable taxes but exclusive of any booking fee and collection or delivery fee. No order will be accepted until We have received full payment.
Other requirements regarding the need for clear and transparent pricing information to be supplied at the time of sale, including booking fees, are covered in the STAR Code of Practice.
5. Delivery
Tickets will only be delivered to the email address of the debit/credit card holder unless We specifically offer You the facility for Tickets to be sent to an alternative address.
If You have not received Your Tickets from Us 72 hours prior to the Event, please contact Us.
6. Changes to Event
Where reasonably necessary, the organiser of the Event and/or the Venue reserves the right to make alterations to the published Event programme.
7. Refunds/exchanges
Except where We offer an applicable Ticket exchange or resale facility, Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded after purchase unless the performance is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to below) or where there is a material change to the programme of Event. Where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to below) by the Venue or Promoter, where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances beyond Our control, or where there is a material change to the programme of the Event, You will be entitled to claim a refund from Us in accordance with this clause.
A 'material' change is a change which, in Our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Ticket, taken generally, could reasonably expect. The use of understudies in a theatre performance shall not be a material change.
Where an outdoor Event is cancelled or curtailed because of adverse weather, We shall not be liable to make any refund or pay any compensation beyond the refunds that may be payable under the Venue's or Promoter's rules.
Where such a refund is sought You must bring this to Our attention as soon as possible upon becoming aware of such change and, where the Event has been rescheduled, prior to the rescheduled Event. The refund for Tickets equals the face value of the Tickets purchased plus the relevant per Ticket booking fee in accordance with the STAR Code of Practice. In order to claim Your refund, please apply in writing to Your point of purchase, enclosing Your complete unused Tickets, if received, promptly (e.g. within 3 months from the date of the Event).
Refunds shall only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets and, when possible, be made using the same method as was used to purchase the Tickets except, at Our discretion, where payment was made by cash.
These Terms and Conditions do not and shall not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. For further information about your statutory rights contact Citizens Advice, Consumer Direct (http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/) or the Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform
8. Liability
Personal arrangements including travel, accommodation or hospitality relating to the Event which have been arranged by You are at your own risk. Liability for the cancellation or rescheduling of an Event, or for material changes to an Event, will be limited to the refund as set forth in Section 7.
Neither We nor the Venue nor the Promoter will be responsible for any loss, theft or damage of Your personal belongings, other than caused as a result of Our negligence or that of the Venue or the Promoter or other breach of statutory duty.
9. Cancelled/re-scheduled Events
It is Your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event. Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, We will use Our reasonable endeavours to notify You using the details You provided Us with at the time of ordering. We do not guarantee that You will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event.
It is Your responsibility to inform Us of any change to the contact address, telephone number or email address You provide Us with at the time of ordering.
10. Use of details and Data Protection
We do not store any of your credit card information. We will keep your name, email address and address to send you useful information and your tickets.
11. Resale/use of Tickets and property
You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket if prohibited by law. In addition, re-sales or transfers of Tickets may be prohibited for certain events subject to the specific terms and conditions of those events (for example but not exclusively limited to charity events or events where age restrictions may apply because of content of the entertainment or licensing requirements. You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket if you are selling or transferring the Ticket in the course of business. You are deemed to be selling or transferring in the course of business where we reasonably believe you to be doing so.
Circumstances where We may consider that a Ticket is being resold in the course of business include:
1) Where a Ticket is sold or advertised for sale for profit (as defined below) through any medium not authorised by Us, including through unauthorised online auction or other websites. Such a sale will be assessed in the light of the factors set out at 2 & 3 below.
2) Where a single Ticket reseller frequently advertises or offers tickets for resale for the same event or multiple events.
3) Where we reasonably consider that a Ticket offered for resale has originally been purchased with the specific intention of offering it for resale for profit and with no intention for the original purchaser or a friend or associate of the purchaser to make use of the Ticket by attending the event.
4) Where we offer an authorised exchange, return or resales facility, a Ticket offered for resale for profit more than fourteen days before the event takes place and through sales channels that have not been authorised by Us will automatically be considered to be a business transaction. Such a sale will be assessed in light of factors set out at 2 & 3 above. If a ticket is offered for resale for profit less than fourteen days before the event takes place then We may determine whether We consider this to be a business transaction by taking other factors into consideration including:
a. The number of tickets being offered for sale by the ticket reseller.
b. Any evidence that You or someone for whom You have bought the ticket can provide regarding the fact that he/she cannot attend the event for genuine reasons.
c. Whether a third part
