Each ticket you purchase on this website may be subject to fees and charges which are non-negotiable and non refundable in the event of a refund or cancellation.  All prices are stated in the currency applicable on the checkout where you are entering your card details.

Event Variations

We cannot offer any compensation or be liable in any way for events which have any variation (including postponement) from that which is described by the Event Organiser during the on sale period.  In this case you should contact the Event Organiser to discuss your concerns.

Refunds

Refunds may be allowed by the Event Organiser and/or under Australian Consumer Law (if applicable).  Please contact the Event Organiser to discuss your specific circumstances for a refund as any obligation for a refund rests solely with the Event Organiser.  You agree that when applicable, booking fees or other surcharges for processing tickets to the original purchase are not refundable, and are a cost of supplying the Services, including the refund.

Cancellations

Where an event is cancelled, you are entitled to a refund.  When we are notified by an Event Organiser that an event is cancelled, we will work with that Event Organiser to ensure that all tickets are promptly refunded.  This should be within 2-3 business days of when the event is cancelled by the Event Organiser.  Once your refund is processed normal credit card processing for refunds apply, which means it may take another 3-5 business days for the refund to show on your card statement.  If a refund fails to appear on your statement after that time, please contact us.  If we believe the refund has been processed successfully, then you will then need to speak to the issuer of your card in order to chase up the refund.

Exchanges

Exchanges of tickets may be permitted by the Event Organiser, either via self exchange on our website or via an assisted exchange over the phone.
