Cancellation by the Customer
We regret that our cancellation policy does not permit the cancelation of
ticket(s). Your statutory rights are not affected.

Cancellation by Us
Where we cancel, for whatever reason, and an alternative cannot be offered
or taken, a refund in full (if applicable) shall be made within ten (10)
working days of such a cancellation being confirmed.

Compensation will not be payable and no liability will be taken where we are
forced to cancel as a result of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances
beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even
with all due care. No compensation will be payable if we cancel as a result
of your failure to comply with these terms. No additional compensation,
consequential losses, additional travelling costs or other such claim shall
be accepted in such an unfortunate event.

Booking Amendments
Wherever possible, a booking amendment shall be accommodated without charge
or penalty if requested fourteen (14) days or more prior to the event date.
An administration charge of 10% of the net booking value shall be payable
for all amendments made less than fourteen (14) days prior to the event date
if such an amendment is possible.

Where an amendment cannot be made and the original booking cannot be
fulfilled, then the Cancellation Policy detailed above shall be applicable.

Prices Quoted
Prices quoted shall be current at the time of booking, acceptance and
acknowledgment. The price agreed shall not be subject to any change unless
forced due to circumstances beyond our control. Such circumstances shall
include civil riot, region or National emergency, war, route closure, severe
weather conditions, etc. Where such a price amendment is necessary, you will
be notified in writing no less than twenty-eight (28) days prior to your
event date. Should a price amendment be unacceptable, the booking may be
cancelled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy above but without
penalty or administration charge if confirmed as cancelled fourteen (14)
days or more prior to the event date.

Your ticket price shall include goods and/or services as indicated,
statutory insurance, VAT, all taxes and anything specifically mentioned as
"included".

Price Exclusions
Your ticket price shall exclude personal insurance, snacks, lunch,
beverages, optional activities, gratuities and any other items not

Concession Requirements
As a general rule, bookings will be accepted at face value at the time of
booking. However, at our discretion, proof of any concession entitlement
claimed may be requested at any time during fulfilment of the booking. Such
proof shall include any legal document that contains a recognisable
photograph and date of birth. Failure to produce such evidence upon request
may result in the concession being withdrawn and payment being requested
amounting to the difference between what has already been paid and the full
published price.

have specific reservation rules, payment procedures, health & safety rules
and terms & conditions which shall be applicable in full in conjunction with
these terms & conditions.

As in any product and service of this type, you are entirely responsible at
all times for your own safety and for that of others. Going off any unmarked

your own risk and no responsibility can, or shall, be taken in such an
instance. If in doubt, please ask.

all times. Full responsibility for children remains with the accompanying
adult, including general behavioural control so as not to disturb the
others.

Procedures in current effect under English law.
