RAILSTAFF PUBLICATIONS LIMITED (RPL) TICKET BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Once purchased, tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged, refunded or returned unless the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the event are significantly changed after an order is placed (significant changes being a change of venue, change of date and time or if a venue is closed unexpectedly for any reason).

In the event of the cancellation of an event by the organiser / promoter (ie a cancellation due to circumstances beyond RPLs control), RPL will only refund the face value of the ticket. RPL will use best endeavours to contact purchasers either by phone, email or in writing (using the details provided by the purchaser at the time of ordering) and advise them to return the tickets. Please note, however, it is the customer's responsibility to check whether the event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue, and RPL cannot guarantee that they will inform the customer of any changes to the event date, time or venue.

We advise the use of secure mail when returning tickets as RPL will not take responsibility for lost or undelivered tickets. On receipt, RPL will refund the customer the face value of the tickets using the same method as used to purchase them.

If an event is moved from its advertised venue and / or the date is changed, tickets already purchased may remain valid should the customer wish to attend the revised event. If not, RPL will refund the face value of the tickets only when the ticket holder requests and returns the tickets before the event has occurred. RPL will notify all purchasers by phone, email or in writing (using the details provided at the time of ordering) to advise on the validity of the tickets and the procedure for obtaining a refund. Refund requests will usually be accepted up until 1 week prior to the revised event, or 3 days after notification of the change (whichever is the later) unless otherwise notified. In the event of a change at short notice (within 1 week of the event) RPL will notify purchasers of the conditions that apply, and offer a refund, if these are not agreeable. Please note, however, it is the customer's responsibility to check whether the event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue, and RPL cannot guarantee that they will inform the customer of any changes to the event date, time or venue.

Should the headline artist not appear or if the line up or content is substantially changed from the advertised line up or content, then RPL will refund the face value of the tickets.

If RPL is unable to fulfill an order for any of the reasons below the customer will be entitled to a full refund, including any booking fee charged:

RPL despatch your order to the wrong address and cannot provide replacement tickets

RPL do not despatch your order and do not arrange for the tickets to be available for collection

Any other similar circumstances where RPL has acted with negligence or where we may have acted in breach of contract

Customers are advised to check their purchase upon receipt.

It is the responsibility of the customer to inform RPL of any change of address, contact phone number or email address, both before and after receipt of the goods. Please note that our preferred method of contact for customers booking online is by email, so care should be taken to provide a current, valid email address.

The right to admission to an event or attraction is reserved by the promoter and event venue or attraction, who may take health and safety, environmental and security concerns into account at their reasonable discretion, and may from time to time carry out security searches. RPL would advise customers that no refunds will be offered to customers who are refused entry or ejected from a venue or attraction on account of late arrival, being (or appearing to be), abusive, threatening, drunken or other antisocial behaviour (including smoking in no smoking areas), carrying offensive weapons or illegal substances, declining to be searched, or making unauthorised audio, video or photographic recordings.

If it becomes impractical to post tickets out, due to the proximity of an event or circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right to make tickets available for collection at the venue or attraction immediately prior to the event. Customers will be notified by phone, email or in writing (using the details provided at the time of ordering) if this becomes necessary.

By ordering you agree that the tickets are for the personal use of you and your party only, and will not be resold or transferred. Any resale or attempt to resell the tickets at a price higher than purchased will result in your orders being cancelled without prior notification.

You consent to being part of the filming, sound recording and photography of the Event and grant RPL the right to use, and allow others to use, in perpetuity all or any part of such film, sound recording and/or photograph of yourself by any means in all media worldwide.

If tickets that are despatched are returned to RPL as "addressee unknown", we reserve the right to cancel the order.

In order to prevent fraud and to protect both parties, you may be asked to provide additional information after your booking so that we can verify your purchase.

RPL reserves the right to limit the amount of tickets available to the individual booker.

We will not share your personal information for marketing or any other purposes without your consent unless where required by law.
