  • TICKETS

  • For more information on our policies, visit our Venues page.

  • We are entitled to reject an order, and if we do so we will inform you that we have rejected it and also the reason for rejecting it. 

  • Tickets are stored on your account. To use a ticket you will need to arrive at the venue with your Student ID card and adequate proof of age.

  • Tickets can only be refunded if the event has been cancelled or moved to another date. All refunds will be at the ticket value of booking and will not include any booking fees. 

  • All tickets are advertised for sale subject to availability. In the event of us being unable to supply the tickets ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible. Where tickets are unavailable for any reason, we may propose to provide you with substitute tickets of equivalent quality and price. Should any tickets ordered not be available or any substitute tickets not be to your reasonable satisfaction, we ask that you return the tickets to us at your expense. If you have already paid for the substituted tickets or any tickets that are not available (for example, where you have paid by personal cheque), a full refund of the purchase price will be given.
