We shall use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the information contained on the Site is accurate and up to date. We may update the content and make improvements or changes in the information, services and other materials on this Site at any time without prior notice being given.

Any changes we implement shall form our terms and conditions of business and you shall be bound by them accordingly.
   2. Ticketline is a ticket agency. Ticketline sells tickets as an agent on behalf of the organisers, producers or promoters of Events (each an “Event Organiser”). We do not host, promote or produce any of the Events which are described on this Site and for which you may wish to buy a ticket. We do not control Events, nor do we set ticket prices for Events. We charge:- a booking fee (a per item service fee); a processing fee (a per order handling and/or delivery fee); and/or other supplementary fees as determined by or otherwise agreed with the Event Organiser. All prices for items offered for sale from us are inclusive of VAT. We do not accept any liability for the conduct of any Event Organiser. The extent of our liability to you is set out within these Terms.
   3. It is and shall be a condition of your use of this Site, that you provide complete and accurate personal details, including a telephone number and valid email address, prior to purchasing a ticket. This includes ensuring that your email server does not reject, bounce or otherwise prevent emails from reaching their intended recipient.
   4. Please note that tickets sold via this Site are subject to the terms, conditions and rules applicable to the relevant Event, including any Event policies concerning cancellation and/or ticket refunds. Please check the venue or the Event Organiser's website or any site advertising the Event before committing to buy a ticket. Most will have clear statements of any applicable policies, (such as age restrictions or refund conditions) on their websites.

2. Buying Tickets and Returns

   1. Tickets purchased via our Site are intended for personal use only. You and your party must not re-sell or transfer tickets, or offer to re-sell or transfer tickets. Any breach of this condition may entitle Ticketline or the Event Organiser to cancel those tickets without refund or compensation being offered.
   2. All ticket purchases are subject to credit or debit card verification and/or other security checks, and receipt of payment by us. We also reserve the right to carry out further checks and/or request further information in order to deter fraud. Your order may be cancelled if it has not passed our verification process or if payment is not received in full.
   3. In the event of an Event being cancelled or postponed, or if the venue or content is materially altered (a material alteration is one which in the reasonable opinion of the Event Organiser, makes the Event materially different from the Event that a purchaser of the ticket, taken generally, had reasonably expected), the Event Organiser shall endeavour to inform all purchasers of any such changes, where known and possible, Ticketline, may also notify you of any such changes using the contact details provided when the order was made. However, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to check whether the Event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue. We cannot be held liable for any expenses you may incur in respect of travel, accommodation, or otherwise arising from cancellation or postponement of an Event.
   4. For certain events there may be a restriction on the maximum number of tickets that may be purchased. We will use our best endeavours to publish this information on the Site and at the point of ticket selection for the event. In such case, we reserve the right to only offer for sale the maximum number of tickets available and to cancel any orders made that exceed the maximum authorised tickets per customer without notice.
   5. If we become aware that the tickets were listed at an incorrect price, including typographical errors or due to inaccurate pricing information received from the Event Organiser then We reserve the right to change the price of tickets following purchase, before or after they have been despatched to you. If this occurs, we will notify you by e-mail or telephone as soon as we become aware. If you do not confirm within 14 days that you wish to purchase the tickets at the revised price we will cancel the tickets and re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your debit/credit card in full as soon as possible but in any event within 21 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.
   6. You must inform Ticketline of any change of address, contact telephone number or email address both before and after receipt of your tickets. Our preferred means of contact is email, so please ensure that you provide a valid email address and be aware that your email server or settings may treat our emails as spam or direct them to your junk folder. We cannot accept any liability that may arise from a customer failing to adhere to this condition.
   7. Once you have purchased tickets, they can only be returned or exchanged or refunded in the circumstances as described below: -
      1. If we fail to fulfil an order as a result of any negligence, or similar act or omission of our own or in breach of contract, you will be entitled to a full refund including any booking or supplementary fees charged;
      2. In those circumstances where events are cancelled or postponed or materially altered and a refund is accepted in accordance with these terms (a material alteration is one which in the reasonable opinion of the Event Organiser, makes the Event materially different from the Event that a purchaser of the ticket, taken generally, had reasonably expected) , you will only be refunded for the face value of your ticket(s) on condition that the Event Organiser has refunded monies to us but you will not be refunded the booking and/or processing and/or any other supplementary fees which may have been imposed on the purchasing of your ticket. Where tickets have been sold without a booking fee, We will charge an administration fee of up to 10% of the face value of your ticket(s) which will be deducted from the value of the refund. Where an Event is rescheduled, tickets shall normally be transferable and automatically applicable to the date of the rescheduled Event or alternatively you may be offered replacement tickets. If you are unable to make the rescheduled date a refund shall become applicable subject to the Event Organiser providing us with a refund of your ticket price.
      3. You should make any request for a refund within 28 days of the date of cancellation, re-scheduling or from the date of any material alteration of an Event. On condition you make any such request within 28 days and We are in a position pursuant to clause 2.7.2 to refund monies to you, then we shall do so within 28 days of your request. If you make any request after 28 days, and if we are in a position to refund ticket monies to you, then any such Refund shall be subject to an additional administration fee of or equivalent to 10% of the refund amount.
      4. Cancellation Protection – You may wish to secure cancellation protection from a creditable supplier such as TicketPlan (www.ticketplangroup.com). If you do secure any such a policy, please note that We shall not be liable, in any way, for the repayment of any premium, policy excess or shortfall as between your ticket price and level of refund.
   8. Decisions to cancel, alter or reschedule Events are the responsibility of the Event Organiser, and legal responsibility for refunds or compensation for cancelled or curtailed events rests at all times with the Event Organiser.
   9. There will be no refunds offered for lost, stolen or damaged tickets (save that duplicate tickets may be obtained, subject to payment of a duplication and processing fee) or if the venue or Event Organiser provides different seats to those specified on the ticket.
   10. In order to fulfil any refund requests, we reserve the right to require the ticketholder to return any physical tickets or, in the case of e-tickets, suitable evidence of payment and/or a covering note containing your order reference number and contact details. Tickets should be returned to Ticketline, PO Box 4061, Manchester, M60 1YT. It is your responsibility to ensure that returned tickets are safely returned to us. No liability will be accepted in the event of tickets being lost or misdirected in the post. We recommend that such returns should be facilitated by recorded delivery to ensure receipt.
   11. Refund requests will be accepted up until 7 days before the date of the revised event or 7 days after notification of the change (whichever falls earlier, if applicable) unless otherwise advised. We regret we are unable to honour refund requests that are received after this time.
   12. Refunds are made using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. We shall not be liable for, and you will not be entitled to, any refunds in any circumstances attributable to your failure to provide effective payment and delivery information.
   13. No refunds will be offered to ticketholders who fail to comply with these Terms or the terms and conditions applicable to the relevant Event.

3. Delivery and Collection

   1. Tickets may be despatched to you electronically (for example by email, mobile website or app) or by post or made available for collection at the venue box office. An order confirmation will be generated by email on completion of a successful transaction.
   2. There is no standard despatch time for tickets ordered through this Site as tickets for different Events have different despatch times. However, all posted tickets should be received at least 5 days before the event, unless they are being collected from the venue box office.
   3. Where tickets are booked within 14 days of an Event and are being posted, tickets should be received at least 2 days before the relevant Event. E-tickets are generally issued immediately following confirmation of your payment but in exceptional circumstances may be issued up to 24 hours later. Occasionally e-tickets may be sent out closer to the date of the event. Where this is the case you will be clearly notified during the purchase process.
   4. It is your responsibility to inform us promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of the advised delivery times given in clause 3.2, in the event of non-receipt of a confirmation email and/or tickets, as only you may be aware of any problems that occur during the purchase process. We will have no responsibility for any costs or any other liability to you in the event of your failure to do so.
   5. Where postal option is made for the despatch of your tickets, but it becomes impractical to post tickets out due to the proximity of an Event or circumstances beyond Ticketline's control, we reserve the right to make your tickets available for collection at the venue box office and will inform you accordingly.
   6. If you are collecting your tickets at the venue box office rather than having them posted out, please note that the tickets must be collected by the cardholder in person, and that the bank card used to make payment must be presented on collection. The cardholders' signature may be required on collection.
   7. Always check your tickets on receipt, as mistakes cannot always be rectified later.

4. Attending the Event

   1. Ticketline does not organise Events and accepts no responsibility or liability of any kind for the delivery, quality, performance or security of an Event; or for any loss or damage suffered by a ticketholder at or in connection with an Event, including personal injury, loss, damage or theft of any personal property; or for any loss of amenity or enjoyment suffered by a ticketholder in connection with an Event; or for any breach of the Event’s terms and conditions on the part of the Event Organiser, save only to the extent such liability cannot be limited in law.
   2. Although we will use reasonable endeavours to indicate any age or other restrictions that apply to events, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they are eligible for entry to the event that they are purchasing tickets for. Please check the terms and conditions of the relevant Event if in doubt.
   3. Event Organisers and Venues always reserve the right to refuse admission to an Event and tickets are issued subject to the rules and regulations of the venue. We will therefore not offer refunds to any ticketholders who have been refused entry or are ejected from a venue for any reason.
   4. If you have any specific requirements for any Event please be sure to raise these at the time of booking or directly with the Event Organiser. We cannot guarantee that your requirements will be met if not disclosed until arrival at the venue.
   5. We will not be liable for any misrepresentations, negligence, contractual or tortuous loss of any kind suffered by you from the products, or services, or actions of any venue, performer, promoter or others, nor will we be liable to you for any loss of profit nor any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages in any circumstances whatsoever, whether due to cancellation, postponement or a material change to an Event, or otherwise.
