1. WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM


TicketSource provides the software system by which Event Organizers make their tickets available for purchase online by you, the Customer.


As the Event Organizer has chosen to use their own merchant service, you are purchasing tickets directly from the Event Organizer.


TicketSource merely facilitates the transaction between you and the Event Organizer. TicketSource is not in receipt of ticket monies for the Event Organizer at any time. We do not set ticket prices or determine availability or location of seating. We simply handle the booking process when you purchase tickets online.


The ticket purchase contract therefore exists between the ticket-buying Customer and the Event Organizer.


2. EVENT INFORMATION


All details of Events including, but not limited to, performance times, venue, ticket prices and seat availability are entered onto the TicketSource website by the Event Organizer. The accuracy of all such information is at all times the responsibility of the Event Organizer.


3. TICKET SALES PROCESS


You can search the TicketSource site by event name, location and/or date to navigate to the specific event in which you are interested. You may then specify:


a) the venue section or price category in which you wish to buy seats;


b) the quantity of seats you wish to buy;


c) where relevant, the position of those seats.


The site will then display the payment due for the seats specified which will include any booking fees or delivery fees (if applicable). You will then be asked to select your preferred method of payment and having entered and submitted credit or debit card details, the Event Organizer's merchant service will charge the card issuer the appropriate amount. On completion of the transaction, the chosen seats will be registered in your name and you will be sent confirmation of booking via email.


Details of the Event Organizer's business name, statement descriptor and contact telephone number are included in your booking confirmation email and eticket.


We recommend that when using the site you ensure that you are only using one browser window. Using multiple browser windows could result in you losing your ticket selection, duplicate charges or timer expiration. When making payment, you must not use the "back" button on your browser as this may cause you to lose your ticket selection or result in a duplicate booking.


4. CURRENCY


Payment for tickets sold through TicketSource will be processed in the local currency of the event organizer's location. 


5. ORDER CONFIRMATION


Order confirmation will take the form of a summary web page at the end of the purchase sequence. This will be followed by an booking confirmation email dispatched to you. Both contain details of the tickets purchased and a unique purchase reference number, which acts as your proof of payment and may be used by the Event Organizer as an eticket.


If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm with our Customer Service Department whether or not the order has been completed, as only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. TicketSource will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.


Any ticket-holder unable to present confirmation of purchase in the form of a print out of the email (or web page equivalent) and valid identification indicating they are the individual named on the confirmation may not be admitted to the event, and will not receive a refund.


6. DISPATCH OF TICKETS


Tickets will be issued as etickets, emailed to you immediately following the successful purchase of tickets.  You can download the tickets or save them to your Apple or Google Wallet.


It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that correct ticket delivery information is provided (email address) as incorrect information will result in tickets not being successfully delivered. TicketSource will not be held liable for ticket refunds, ticket exchanges or any other costs arising as a result of incorrect information provided by the customer. 


If tickets are not received immediately following completion of the booking (etickets or text tickets) the purchaser must contact TicketSource prior to the event to enable us to update the contact information and re-send tickets. 


7. EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS


Before placing a booking, carefully review your event and ticket selection. Once purchased tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the Event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the Event are significantly changed after a booking is placed (significant changes being a change of headline act (concerts only), venue or show time).


The varying exchange and refund policies set forth by Event Organizers prohibit TicketSource from initiating exchanges or refunds after a booking is placed or if a ticket is lost or stolen. In the event of such reversal of transaction being desired, you should contact the Event Organizer directly, as they may, at their discretion, agree to your wishes.


As the Event Organizer has chosen to use their own merchant service, the Event Organizer is solely liable for honoring any refunds. 


Booking fees whether originally presented as a separate item or included within the stated face value of the ticket are non-refundable unless an event is cancelled or significantly changes (please see point 8).


8. CANCELLED AND POSTPONED EVENTS


It is the responsibility of the Event Organizer to notify you if an event is postponed or cancelled and TicketSource provides Event Organizer’s with the ability to send an email to all ticket-holders.  It is the ticket-holders responsibility to ensure that a correct email address is provided to receive event update messages.

It is your responsibility to check whether the Event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue, and TicketSource cannot guarantee that they will inform you of any changes to the event date, time or venue. You must notify TicketSource of an event cancellation no later than the Monday following the event date. 

TicketSource will under no circumstances be responsible for any remedy for inconvenience, consequential expenses incurred or any other loss or damages resulting from the cancellation or postponement of any Event.

Event Cancellation


If an Event is cancelled by the Event Organizer (i.e. a cancellation due to circumstances beyond the Event Organizer's control), TicketSource will initiate a refund for the purchase price of your tickets and any booking fees. Ticket delivery fees are non-refundable.

TicketSource is normally notified in advance of any pending Event cancellation by the Event Organizer. We then automatically initiate refunds to all tickets purchasers. You can also notify TicketSource directly if you discover that an event has been cancelled by emailing [email protected] no later than the Monday at noon following the event.  


As the Event Organizer has chosen to use their own merchant service, TicketSource will send the request for a refund however the Event Organizer is solely liable for honoring any refunds. 


Event Postponed or Change of Venue


If an Event is moved from its advertised venue and / or the date is changed, tickets already purchased may remain valid should you wish to attend the revised Event. If not, TicketSource will initiate a refund for the purchase price of your tickets and any booking fees. Ticket delivery fees are non-refundable. You must contact TicketSource as soon as possible and no later than one working day prior to the revised event date to request a refund. After this cut-off time, TicketSource is unable to offer refunds and requests should be directed to the event organiser who may refund at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.


Significant Change to Event Line-up


Should the headline artist (concerts only) not appear or if there is a change to the named performance - as stated in the TicketSource platform booking pages at the time of booking - then TicketSource will on request initiate a refund of the purchase price and any booking fees. Ticket delivery fees are non-refundable. You must contact us as soon as possible and no later than one working day prior to the event date to request a refund. After this cut-off time, TicketSource is unable to offer refunds and requests should be directed to the event organiser who may refund at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed.


For significant changes to the content of an event, Customers should direct their refund request to the Event Organizer for consideration. 


Event Specific Refund and Exchange Terms and Conditions


Some Event Organizers will explicitly stipulate that cancellation due to weather, act of God or any other unavoidable eventuality will not result in a refund. If such terms have been applied, they will be displayed on the booking page for you to read in the course of the booking process and; having been so displayed; shall prevail over the provisions above, meaning that no refund will be due.


9. DONATIONS


Some Event Organizers will provide an option to make a financial donation as part of the booking process. The purchaser is under no obligation to make a donation. Should you add a donation to your booking, TicketSource will forward your donation to the Event Organizer less a 5% administration fee.


Should an event be cancelled and you booked via TicketSource, we will send the request for a refund of the donation however the Event Organizer is solely liable for honoring any refunds. 


10. UNLAWFUL RESALE OF TICKETS


The unlawful resale (or attempted unlawful resale) of a ticket is grounds for seizure or cancellation of that ticket without refund or other compensation.


11. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EVENT ORGANIZER


This ticket is issued subject to the terms and conditions of the Event Organizer. If applicable, the details of an Event Organizer's terms and conditions will be available through the purchasing process or at the venue box office. Breach of any of these terms and conditions or any unacceptable behaviour likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury shall entitle the Event Organizer to eject you from the venue.


It is your responsibility to comply with any age restrictions which apply to the event or the venue where the event is being held.
