Event Specific Terms

By purchasing tickets to an Event the buyer agrees to these Terms and Conditions on behalf of themselves and their guests.  The Event Provider may inform buyers of additional Event-specific Terms at the time of booking (“Booking Information”), which may include the following:

  • The date and location of the Event, and whether the Event is to be held indoors or outdoors

Where the Booking Information states that the Event will be held outdoors, customers and their guests are expected to be prepared for inclement weather.

Where the Booking Information states that the Event will be held online, customers and their guests are expected to be prepared to access the event with an internet connection and the requirements as set out in the Booking Information for the Event, such as a laptop or headphones.

Tickets are issued subject to these Terms and Conditions and the Booking Information and breach of these, or any unacceptable behaviour likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury shall entitle the Event Provider to refuse admission or eject guests from the venue or online event without refund or compensation.

This includes failure to comply with any reasonable instruction given by the Event Provider or (where persons under 18 are admitted to the Event) any attempt by a minor to purchase alcohol or by any person to purchase alcohol for a minor.

Ticket Fees

Tickets sold via a booking agent are subject to the agent’s Terms and Conditions of sale and may include booking and administrative fees levied at the point of sale.

The Event Provider is not responsible for, and does not process, handle or receive booking and administrative fees on behalf of its contracted booking agents.  Any inquiries about booking and administrative fees or the booking process should be directed to the relevant booking agent.

Young Guests

Some Events are age restricted to ensure we provide age-appropriate content during the Event for our audience.  If the Event Booking Information indicates that guests under 18 may attend, they must in all cases be accompanied throughout the Event by an adult. Young guests will not be admitted to the Event without an adult and will be escorted from the event if their responsible adult is not present at all times.

All tickets must be purchased by an adult.  The ticket buyer will be required to confirm they and their guests are aware of and will adhere to age restrictions and rules at the point of purchase. Refunds will not be provided to those who are not admitted to the Event as a result of failure to provide acceptable identification or who do not comply with the applicable age restriction.

Cancellation Policy

If an Event is cancelled or postponed, the Event Provider or its booking agent will attempt to contact you to inform you of refund or exchange procedures.

If an event is cancelled and not rescheduled, the Event Provider or its booking agent will facilitate a return of the full purchase price of your tickets in the form of a Voucher for the transaction amount.

A Voucher is a credit worth the same amount as the total amount charged in the original transaction. For tickets purchased from Secret Cinema, TodayTix or affiliated sites, this will include the booking fee.  Booking fee refunds on tickets purchased on unaffiliated sites are subject to the booking agent’s own policy.

If the Event Provider or its booking agent does not receive a written request for a refund (not including any applied booking or order fees) in lieu of a Voucher within ten (10) days from the issuance of the Voucher, then it will consider the offer of a Voucher in lieu of refund to be accepted by the ticket holder.

Delayed Start

No ticket exchanges or refunds will be given if the Event or the opening or start of the Event is disrupted or delayed for reasons such as security or safety alerts, traffic incidents, adverse weather conditions, strike action or technical failure.  The Event will commence or continue as soon as the Event Provider is reasonably able to do so.

The Event Provider does not attempt to limit or exclude its liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of its employees or agents nor for any other liability that is not limited or excluded by applicable law.

The Event Provider is not an authority on public health and therefore will follow guidance from the Government and Public Health England (or local or judicial authority) when it comes to health risks such as the spread of viruses, and will endeavour to comply with such guidance wherever appropriate.  However, it is each Event ticket holder’s sole decision whether to attend any Event knowing the risks associated with how easily a virus may be spread and knowing the health advice and recommendations issued by the Government, Public Health England, or any local or judicial authority. The Event ticket holder is responsible for their own health and safety and cannot solely rely on the measures put in place at the Event by the Event Provider.
