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.

A valid Ticket must be produced to get into a ticketed Event. All persons require a ticket, regardless of age; please note this includes babies. 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, it 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 for 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 Our discretion. If duplicates are being issued, an administration charge may be levied. We reserve the right to provide alternative seats at an Event to those specified on the Ticket if the staging of the Event reasonably requires, 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.

All credit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of Your payment card refuses to authorise payment to Us, Your order will not be accepted and We will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

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, trademarks, 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 and per ticket administration fees.

No order will be accepted until We have received full payment.

5. Delivery

Tickets will only be delivered to the billing address or primary 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 Your Tickets are not being held at the Venue box office, and You have not received Your Tickets from Us 72 hours prior to the Event, please contact Us.

If Tickets dispatched by Royal Mail ordinary post, special delivery or registered post are returned to Us as "addressee unknown" We reserve the right to cancel Your booking and make a refund of the Ticket price only.

We reserve the right to make Tickets available for collection at the Venue box office. You will be notified by telephone, email or in writing of the arrangements for collection (using the details provided at the time of ordering) if this becomes necessary. Where there is not enough time to deliver Tickets, You will be told at the point of purchase the arrangements for collection of Your tickets.

If You are collecting Your Tickets from the Venue box office, You must have Your acknowledgement of order and the credit/debit card used to make the order with You. You will be able to collect Your Tickets at any time during Box Office opening hours prior to the start of the Event.

If Your delivery address is not within the United Kingdom you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Any such additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies vary widely from country to country; the University of Nottingham advises each customer to contact their local customs office for further information. You should be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

6. Refunds and 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 following examples shall not be a material change:

• The use of understudies in a theatre performance
• A change of soloist for a classical concert
• A partial change of repertoire for a classical concert

Where such a refund is sought You must bring this to Our attention as soon as possible upon becoming aware of such change, cancellation or where the Event has been rescheduled, prior to the rescheduled Event. The refund for the tickets equals the ticket price paid in accordance with recognized good practice. 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.

7. 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 above.

Neither We 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.

Although we take every care to ensure accuracy, We make no warranties as to the accuracy of the information we place on our web pages.

The extent of Our liability for any breach of these terms and conditions shall be limited to the value of the goods ordered by You in the relevant transaction, however nothing in these terms and conditions shall exclude or limit Our liability for death or personal injury as a result of Our negligence.

8. Cancelled and 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.

Tickets must not be resold for profit, in which circumstances We reserve the right to cancel tickets or refuse admission without notice and without being obliged to refund monies.

Where a Ticket is offered for resale in line with these terms and conditions, you must provide to the buyer full details of the ticket.

12. Conditions of Admission

We reserve the right to refuse Ticket holders admission to the Venue in reasonable circumstances including for health and safety, licensing reasons or where a Ticket is void.

We also reserve the right to request that Ticket holders leave the Venue at any point on reasonable grounds and may take any appropriate action to enforce this right. By way of example, the Venue may remove a Ticket holder who:

• has behaved in the Venue in a manner which, in the reasonable opinion of the Venue has, or is likely to affect the enjoyment of other visitors; or
• uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or in any way provokes or behaves in a manner which may provoke a breach of the peace; or
• in the reasonable opinion of the Venue is acting under the influence of alcohol or drugs; or
• fails, when required, to produce proof of identity or age.

You must comply with instructions and directions given by Venue staff and stewards. No refunds will be given to Ticket holders who are refused entry or ejected due to their own behaviour as suggested in, but not limited to, the examples above.
