1.1 Your contract for the purchase of Ticket(s) is formed as soon as We have processed Your payment and will expire immediately after the performance of the Event for which You purchased Ticket(s). However, any purchases are subject to payment card verification and other security checks and Your transaction may be cancelled if it has not passed Our verification processes.
1.2 Your purchase of Ticket(s) is subject to these Terms and Conditions, which incorporate and should be read in conjunction with the Event Partner(s)’ terms, conditions and regulations, copies of which are available on the Event or Venue website or at Venue box office. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms in relation to Venue or Promoter requirements, those of the Promoter shall prevail. If no Promoter, those of the Venue shall prevail.
1.3 Please note that our Terms and Conditions do not apply to purchases for tickets made from third parties. If you have any queries or complaints regarding your purchase of tickets from third parties, please contact them direct.
1.4 These Terms and Conditions are issued pursuant to STAR’s Code of Practice which is available from STAR (0844 879 4272, Code of Practice)
1.5 Ticket Protection is available to purchase via our website. This service is fulfilled by SecureMyBooking and is subject to their Terms and Conditions. These can be viewed at: www.securemybooking.com/make-a-claim/uk/. Please note that this product is non-refundable. Securemybooking.com is an appointed representative of JM Marketing Ltd, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority - Registration No: 435403.
2.1 All Tickets are sold subject to availability and to these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions should be read carefully prior to purchase and any queries relating to them should be raised with Us prior to purchase, as purchase of Ticket(s) constitutes agreement of these Terms and Conditions. A valid Ticket must be produced to get into an Event. Please notify Us of any access requirements at the time of booking. Removing any part of, altering or defacing the Ticket may invalidate Your Ticket.
2.2 It is Your responsibility to check Your Ticket(s) as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase. Please check your Ticket(s) on receipt carefully and contact us immediately if there is a mistake.
2.3 We will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. The Management only accept responsibility for Tickets bought from one of its own managed sales points. Any queries regarding Tickets purchased from ticket agents must be directed back to the relevant agent.
2.4 It is not always possible to issue duplicate ticket(s). For example for non-seated events where there is a possibility of both the original and duplicate ticket(s) being used, compromising the licensed capacity of the venue. Duplicates may therefore be issued at the discretion of the Promoter or the Venue acting reasonably. If an e Ticket is reissued only the most recent version will be valid, previous tickets will be void and entry to the venue may not be permitted.
2.5 We and the Event Partner(s) reserve the right to provide alternative seats at an Event to those specified on the Ticket if the staging of the Event reasonably requires, provided they are of no less value to that stated on the Ticket.
2.6 Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example of age or student status) may be required.
2.7 Possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on You to use, alter, copy or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trade marks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.
2.8 Any Ticket cannot be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written permission is given by the Event Partner(s), provided that even if such consent is obtained, use of Our trade marks and other intellectual property is subject to Our prior consent.
2.9 You agree not to obtain or attempt to obtain any Ticket(s) through unauthorised use of any robot, spider or other automated device or any other illegal or unauthorised activity. We reserve the right to cancel any Ticket transaction which We reasonably suspect to have been made in breach of these provisions without any notice to You and any and all Ticket(s) purchased as part of such transaction will be void.
- PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1The price of the Ticket shall be the price set at the time We accept Your order. All advertised prices are inclusive of any applicable taxes and per Ticket booking fee (where applicable) but exclusive of any per transaction, collection or delivery fee.
3.2No order will be accepted until We have received full payment in cleared funds. We reserve the right to cancel any booking which We reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently.
3.3 All concessions and discounts are subject to availability, they may be restricted to certain price levels and performances and can be withdrawn by ATG without notice
3.4 Only one concession or discount is available per ticket.
3.5 If the amount you pay for a ticket is incorrect regardless of whether because of an error in a price posted on the Site or otherwise communicated to You, or You are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or pre-sale date or You are able to order a Ticket that was not supposed to have been released for sale, then We will have the right to cancel that Ticket (or the order for that Ticket) and refund to You the amount that You paid. This will apply regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction of this website or other ATG operated system.
- DELIVERY
4.1 If you select “e Ticket” Your Tickets will be delivered as an e Ticket to the email address provided when You registered on the Site. Your e Ticket must be printed or presented on a mobile or tablet device. If printed, Your e Ticket must be clearly printed to scale on plain A4, clean, white paper. Problems with printing will not be Our responsibility or the responsibility of the Venue. Unauthorised duplication of Your e Ticket may prevent Your admittance to the Event. ATG is not responsible for any inconvenience caused by unauthorised duplication. If unauthorised duplicates appear ATG reserves the right to refuse entry to all Ticket holders and may credit the original purchaser the face value, which will constitute full remuneration. Any duplicate Ticket issued by ATG, will render the original e Ticket null and void.
4.2E-Tickets will only be delivered to the email address provided at the time of booking. Hard copy ticket(s) will only be delivered to the billing address of the debit/credit card holder unless We specifically offer You the facility for Ticket(s) to be sent to an alternative address.
4.3E Tickets will be issued 14 days before the date of the performance. Any Tickets purchased less than 14 days prior to the date of the relevant performance will be issued within 1 working day. Hard copy ticket(s) will arrive no later than 5 Working Days before the date of the performance. If Your Ticket(s) are not being held at the Venue box office, and You have not received Your Ticket(s) from Us 5 Working Days prior to the Event, please contact Us.

Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, We will use Our reasonable endeavours to notify You using the details You provided Us with at the time of ordering. We do not guarantee that You will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event.
6.2 It is Your responsibility to inform Us of any change to the contact address, telephone number or email address You provide Us with at the time of ordering.
7.1 If you are unable to attend the Event through no fault of Ours, we can offer a ticket exchange facility, subject to availability, if the Event is at a Venue managed by Us. In order to obtain an exchange you must contact us 48 hours before the Event. Ticket(s) can be exchanged for a seat of the same value or higher upon payment of the difference in value, within its current run at the same Venue and will be subject to a per ticket exchange fee of £3. If a discount has been applied to the Ticket(s), then this will only be honoured within the original terms and conditions of the offer. If the Event has been booked through us for a Promoter then an exchange may not be offered and we would refer You to the Promoter’s own terms and conditions of sale.
7.2 Except where We offer an applicable Ticket exchange or resale facility, Ticket(s) cannot be exchanged, cancelled or refunded after purchase (except pursuant to clause 6). If a resale facility is available, resale of these Ticket(s) cannot be guaranteed and is subject to a per ticket administrative charge of £3.
7.3 Where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to clause 6 and this clause) by the Venue or Promoter, where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances beyond Our control, or where there is a material change to the programme of the Event, You may request a refund from Us in accordance with this clause.
7.4 A 'material' change to the programme of the Event is a change which, in Our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Ticket, taken generally, could reasonably expect. The use of understudies in a theatre performance shall not be a material change.

7.6 Where such a refund is sought due to cancellation, rescheduling or a material change to the programme of the Event, You must bring this to Our attention as soon as possible upon becoming aware of such material change, cancellation or where the Event has been rescheduled, prior to the rescheduled Event. The refund for Ticket(s) equals the price paid by You to Us for such Ticket, including the applicable per Ticket booking fee but excluding the per transaction collection or delivery fee, in accordance with the STAR Code of Practice. If You have opted to purchase Ticket Protection, please note that this is also non-refundable.
7.7 Refunds shall only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets and, when possible, be made using the same method as was used to purchase the Tickets except, at Our discretion, where payment was made by cash or SOLT Theatre Tokens.
7.8 These Terms and Conditions do not and shall not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. For further information about your statutory rights contact Citizens Advice, or the Competition and Markets Authority.

Unless otherwise stated in our Terms and Conditions, Our and the Event Partner(s)’ liability to You in connection with the Event (including, but not limited to, in the event of cancellation, rescheduling or material change to the programme of the Event) shall be limited to the Ticket price paid by You including the per Ticket booking fee but excluding any ticket protection purchased and the per transaction collection or delivery fee.
8.2 Neither We nor the Venue nor the Event Partner(s) will be responsible for any loss, injury or damage to any person (including You) or property howsoever caused (including by Us and/or by Event Partner(s)): (a) in any circumstances where there is no breach of a legal duty of care owed by Us or the Event Partner(s); (b)in circumstances where such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach (save for death or personal injury resulting from Our negligence); or (c) to the extent that any increase in any loss or damage results from breach by You of any of these Terms and Conditions and/or any terms and conditions of the Event Partner(s).

Customers wishing to take advantage of the Access Membership Scheme concessions are required to join Our free Access Membership Scheme. By joining the Access Membership Scheme and purchasing a concession Ticket(s) you agree that the Ticket(s) will only be used by a disabled person (as defined by the Equality Act 2010) and his/her essential companion.

We reserve the right to withdraw Your membership or deny access if we reasonably suspect that You or Your companion(s) are abusing the Access Membership Scheme.
19.5 One concession Ticket will be available per member, per performance (subject to availability). However, if as a result of Your access requirement, You require a companion to sit with You, then You may request an additional Ticket at no extra cost to you for Your companion. The disabled customer’s concession Ticket price will be split equally between the Tickets for the customer and companion. This equates financially to a free ticket for the carer. We will endeavour to seat both disabled customer and their companion together. One companion Ticket will be available per eligible member, per performance (subject to availability). If You wish to buy any further Tickets, these can be purchased at full price outside of the Access Membership Scheme.
19.6 If You wish to book a Ticket on behalf of someone who has an access requirement, then You may join the Access Membership Scheme Yourself and give details of the requirements for Your guest or dependant.
