We aren't the venue

We are NOT a venue and can only assist with tickets purchased from this website. All other enquiries should be directed to the venue box office or appropriate ticket sellers themselves.

Attending a show

Theatres around the country are advising patrons who are showing signs of Covid 19 to stay home. This includes those with general cold or flu symptoms.

Many theatres are also taking increased measures to ensure the continued safety of their patrons, including providing alcohol-based hand sanitizer for public use and increasing cleaning frequencies.

If you are feeling unwell, you should follow the advice of your local public health authority.

Changing/cancelling your tickets

Should your event be cancelled by the venue, then our support team will contact you with information on how to proceed depending on whether the event can be rescheduled, or whether it is to be cancelled. Please always quote your booking reference in any communications with us.

If your event has been postponed or rescheduled, your tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date. For some rescheduled events, the primary source of the tickets will reissue all previously purchased tickets with new bar codes. If this occurs we will deliver new tickets to you and remind you to discard your old tickets.

Please note that if you wish to cancel your ticket and the event has not been cancelled by the official venue, we will not be able to issue you with any form of compensation.
