2. Ticketing Terms and Conditions:


In these Ticketing terms and conditions ‘Pickevent’ " refers to Pickevent Limited. Pickevent sells all tickets as an agent on behalf of the organisers, Event Organisers, speakers, venues or producers of an event (referred to as a lsquo;Event Organiser’) on these terms and conditions and subject to any other terms, conditions or rules applicable to that event.


Purchasing tickets

Tickets you purchase are for personal use. Except as the may agree, you and your party must not re-sell or transfer (or seek to re-sell or transfer) the tickets in breach of the applicable terms. A breach of this condition will entitle Pickevent or the Event Organiser to cancel the tickets without prior notification, refund, compensation or liability.


In addition to the ticket price your order may require payment of a booking fee per ticket, transaction fees per order and/or other supplementary fees which may apply to the event. Those fees are not refundable except as set out in paragraphs 3, 4, 6, 10, 14, 19 and 33 below.


If you order or buy more tickets than the maximum permitted per person, per card or per household, we may cancel all of the order or tickets, in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid.


To prevent fraud and protect Pickevent and you, we may carry out checks and/or you may be asked to provide additional information (such as a copy of a credit or debit card statement) after your booking so we can verify your purchase. If we suspect fraud we may cancel any order or tickets.


You must inform Pickevent of any change of email address, both before and after receipt of the tickets. Our contact details are below. Our preferred method to contact you is email, so you should take care to provide a current, valid email address and be aware that your email filter settings may treat our emails as spam or direct them to your junk folder.


An order for tickets is not complete until accepted by us. We try to ensure all prices are accurate but errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of tickets you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and we may either cancel the order (in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid) or give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price.


Delivery and collection

Tickets will be sent to you by email or you can download directly from the website.


We cannot usually specify the dates on which you will receive tickets. If you do not inform us of the non-receipt of tickets within a reasonable time (in any event at least 72 hours before the event) we will have no liability to you.


Always check your tickets upon receipt and advise us promptly of any errors. Mistakes when ordering cannot always be corrected and any corrections are discretionary.


Cancellation Rights and Refunds

Tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged or refunded once purchased other than for the reasons set out in these terms and conditions.


Cancellation, change or postponement of an event

Decisions to change or cancel events are the responsibility of the Event Organiser. Pickevent cannot guarantee to inform you of any change or cancellation of any event or be held responsible for refunds or for any resulting costs you may incur for travel, accommodation, any other related goods or service or other compensation.


You should always check that an event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue.


If an Event Organiser cancels an event or makes significant changes to the venue, date, schedule time or/and any other changes, they should notify you through the message system and make the appropriate modification through the website. Pickevent will try to inform you if there is a major change. You will usually be contacted by email.


If an event is rescheduled, changed or moved, the Event Organiser will usually give you the option of either retaining or exchanging your tickets for the new date/location, or alternatively claiming a refund. If an event is cancelled by the Event Organiser you will normally be offered a refund. Please note that the Booking Fee and any Transaction Fees are not refundable in these circumstances.


Refunds

If for any reason you are entitled to a refund, you should know:


Any refund will usually be paid using the same method you used to buy the tickets within 30 days of the original date of the event.


For more information about refunds please contact our customer service page.


No refunds will be offered under any circumstances if you fail to comply with the all terms and conditions applicable to those tickets, the venue or the event (see paragraph 24 below).


Attending an event

Events are not the responsibility of Pickevent. Pickevent does not organise events and has no responsibility whatsoever for any loss or damage of any kind suffered at or in connection with any event (including loss, damage or theft any personal property at an event).


Admission to an event is at all times subject to any terms, conditions or rules of the Event Organiser and the venue operator. If you breach those terms, conditions or rules then the Event Organiser or venue operator may refuse admission or require you or other ticket holders to leave the venue.


Amongst other things you will need to comply with health and safety rules and any security requirements (including security searches for the safety of those attending the event). The venue or the Event Organiser will have rights to refuse admission or eject you in certain circumstances and these are likely to include if you are involved with abusive, threatening, drunken or other anti-social behaviour, or carry offensive weapons or illegal or prohibited substances or make unauthorised audio, video or photographic recordings. There will often also be rules restricting or preventing the admission of latecomers.


Pickevent will highlight any terms, conditions or rules relating to the event of which it is aware and which it considers particularly significant, onerous or unusual. Information on where you can find full details of relevant terms, conditions or rules will be available from the Event Organiser or venue operator via the box office or their website or during the online booking process.


Before you finalise your booking, please read all the information that applies to the event and/or ticket. If you or any member of your party has particular requirements please raise these when booking and we will endeavour to address your query. There can be no guarantee that requirements can be met if notified at the event.


When you receive your tickets check the details carefully.


Specific seats may be allocated to you at the time of booking, but the Event Organiser should notify you about this.
