Interactive Services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation, chat rooms, bulletin boards and blogs ("interactive services"). Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical). Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.

Purchasing your ticket
The purchase of tickets on this site is subject to availability and subject to acceptance by The Ticket Factory.
We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of tickets displayed are correct. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some tickets on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of a ticket you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error. You will have the option of continuing with the purchase at the correct price or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you of the cancellation.
Our acceptance of your ticket purchase will take place when [we email you to accept it], at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
For certain events, Ticket Suppliers may apply restrictions to tickets. Where a restriction applies to the number of tickets that may be purchased (whether per person, per credit card or per household) and tickets are purchased in excess of this number we may cancel the excess tickets.
Certain events may not be appropriate for children and an age restriction will apply. Please note that where age restrictions apply you will need to bring proof of age - we will refuse entry to anyone who is, or appears to be, under the applicable age.
If we suspect that your ticket has been purchased fraudulently we may cancel your booking.
Payment must be taken by credit or debit card. We accept Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards. Payment is taken in full at the time you place your order.
Ticket fees applicable to your ticket
Fees may be payable for the purchase of the ticket. Details of all fees payable for your tickets will be clearly set out during the purchase process.
Fees may include a fee per ticket and/or a fee per order. For certain venues a renovation levy/facilities fee may also apply.

Receiving your tickets
Your tickets will be posted to the billing address of the debit/credit card holder. For e-tickets, your e-ticket will be sent to the email address registered during the ordering process.
We aim to dispatch your tickets as soon as possible however we are not able to specify the exact date of dispatch. If you have not received your tickets 5 days prior to the event, please contact us with details of your booking.
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to collect your tickets from the venue. If you are collecting your tickets from the venue, please bring your acknowledgement of order and the credit/debit card used to make the order with you.
When you receive your tickets please carefully check them as mistakes cannot always be rectified.
If your tickets are returned to us we may choose to cancel your booking and refund you the ticket price (including all fees except any delivery fees (“Ticket Price”)). We may be unable to issue replacement tickets for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets due to restrictions by the Ticket Supplier. When you receive your tickets, please keep them in a secure place. We will not be responsible for any tickets that are lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

Reselling your tickets
Tickets are for personal use only. If you are no longer able to attend the event you may re-sell your ticket for the Ticket Price (plus any delivery fees) unless it is prohibited by law, or the Ticket Supplier has advised you otherwise during the booking process. It is your responsibility to check with the Ticket Supplier before offering tickets for resale. Any re-sale of tickets must incorporate these terms and conditions.
Tickets sold or being offered for sale for a profit (i.e. above the Ticket Price (plus any delivery fees)) is strictly prohibited and both we and the Ticket Supplier reserve the right to cancel such tickets without refund and/or refuse entry to the event. We and the Ticket Supplier also reserve the right to blacklist you if you resell your ticket(s) in breach of these terms.

Requesting refunds
Tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged after purchase (unless the event has been cancelled, postponed or materially changed: see below).
If you have purchased additional items with your ticket then you can cancel any of these items and may be entitled to a refund. Please note that the following items are non-refundable: ticket protection; drinks packages; lockers for festivals; charitable donations; camping and campervan passes; goodie bags or show shopping bags. Where you have received the items, please return items in the original condition, unused, in the original packaging, with garment tags and any other security devices still attached to The Ticket Factory, PO Box 3348, Birmingham B40 1NS within 14 days of receipt.

Cancellation, postponement or changes to your event
Occasionally events may be changed, postponed or cancelled. It is your responsibility to check that the event is going ahead as staged. All advertised times are approximate and subject to change.
If, in the reasonable opinion of the Ticket Supplier, material changes have been made to your event, you will be able to obtain a refund of the Ticket Price from the Ticket Supplier.
For the purpose of these terms, a “material alteration” is a change (other than a rescheduling) which, in the relevant Ticket Supplier's reasonable opinion, makes the event materially different to the event that purchasers of tickets, taken generally, could reasonably expect. Changes to supporting acts; members of a band; line-up of any multi-performer event or the use of understudies, adverse weather, and changes to start times will not be a material change.
If your event is postponed your ticket will be valid for the rescheduled date. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled date you will be able to obtain a refund of the Ticket Price from the Ticket Supplier.
If your event is cancelled, you will be able to obtain a refund of the Ticket Price from the Ticket Supplier.
If an event is materially changed, postponed or cancelled it is the responsibility of the Ticket Supplier to provide us with requisite funds to provide the refunds listed above to you. We will refund you on behalf of the Ticket Supplier within 14 days of receiving the relevant funds. In the event that funds are not received then we will direct customers to contact the Ticket Supplier directly to arrange refunds. In order to claim your refund, please apply in writing to The Ticket Factory, PO Box 3348, Birmingham B40 1NS enclosing your unused tickets. Your unused tickets must be received by The Ticket Factory within 14 days of the date of notification of the changes, postponement or cancellation.
