REFUNDS:

1: It is your responsibility to ensure you can attend the event when booking your tickets. Tickets are NON REFUNDABLE and NON TRANSFERABLE UNLESS THE EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED OR CANCELLED BY US OR THE VENUE. We will not be held responsible if for ANY reason you are not able to attend the event after you have purchased tickets. This includes injury or illness, whether direct or indirect, i.e. family member or friend. We will also not be responsible for any other costs incurred i.e. travel or hotel expenses. WE will not accept any requests to transfer to a different event after you have booked and paid to attend a specific event.

2: If an event has been POSTPONED we will offer you the option to transfer your ticket to the new date for the same venue, transfer your ticket to a different venue or issue a full refund.

3: If the event is CANCELLED either by us or the venue and we are not able to book another date, we will offer a refund or transfer to a different venue.

Please be aware that any requests to refund via a different method will be declined.
