All tickets are sold subject to the rules and regulations of the Venue, full details of which are available from the relevant Show's Venue. Please check carefully the details of a Show before making a booking.

   2. Please note that some Venue's policies may prohibit us from issuing exchanges or refunds after a Ticket has been purchased, or from issuing duplicates for lost, stolen or damaged Tickets.



3. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED

   1. When you make a booking for Tickets via our website, your booking constitutes an offer to us to buy Tickets.

   2. All bookings are subject to acceptance by us. Once we have checked your booking form and that you have sufficient funds to cover the total cost of the Tickets, we will send you an email confirmation that your booking has been accepted (the Booking Confirmation) and charge your credit or debit card accordingly. The contract (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Booking Confirmation. If there is a problem relating to your booking you will be notified by email.

   3. You are responsible for ensuring that your details are correct in your booking, and for letting us know immediately if there are any changes to your details once your booking has been confirmed.

   4. Where you are making a booking on behalf of a number of people, you accept these terms and conditions on behalf of all members of your party.

   5. We reserve the right to restrict the number of Tickets ordered.



4. PRICE AND PAYMENT

   1. The price of any Tickets will be as quoted on our site, except in cases of obvious error.

   2. All Tickets must be paid for in full at the time of booking, using a credit or debit card.

   3. Ticket purchases may be subject to handling charges and/or postal charges, which are detailed on our website.

   4. Prices on our site are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Booking Confirmation, except in the case of obvious error.



5. TICKET COLLECTION OR DISPATCH

   1. We will normally dispatch Tickets by first class post to the address you give us when you make a booking. We aim to send Tickets as soon as possible, usually within 7 days, but please allow as much time as possible for the arrival of your Tickets. We will not, however, accept any liability for any Tickets not delivered by Royal Mail.

   2. If your Tickets have not arrived two days before the Show, please contact us at admin@theatrebookings.com or by telephone to 020 7087 2920 or 020 7087 2998. You must notify us immediately of any change of address, contact number or email address. If you are using a credit or debit card, we will only dispatch Tickets to your registered billing address.

If you would prefer to collect your Tickets in person, or if you are booking Tickets less than five days before a Show, you should collect your Tickets in person from our box office at Theatrebookings.com, 39 Charing Cross Road, Leicester Square, London, WC2H 0AR prior to the Show.

   4. Please check your Tickets upon receipt. You will not be admitted to a Show if you do not have your Ticket with you.

   4. If, a Show is cancelled or postponed due to unavoidable circumstances we will reimburse the full cost of the Tickets, including any delivery, postage, service or handling charges you have paid to us.

   5. If the above paragraph applies you must return your Tickets to us, preferably using secure mail. Requests for refunds will usually be allowed up to one week prior to the changed or postponed Show and within 28 days of any cancelled Show.

   6. When you return Tickets to us and you are due a refund, we will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund.
