Tickets Refunds and Transferral Policy

Refunds
Refunds are not available on tickets once they have been purchased. However, there are some instances in which a refund may be given:

1. The entire event has been cancelled by us. In this instance, refunds are available to everyone who has purchased a ticket in advance.

2. The event has been pulled whilst in progress. In this instance, a decision will be made by management as to whether refunds will be offered to those with tickets. However refunds will only be given in special circumstances and as approved by management.

3. The event has sold out, and there are people waiting for extra tickets. In this instance refunds may be given, and the tickets then resold to people on the waiting list once the re-sale cash has been received.

4. In all instances management decision is final, based on the individual circumstances, and not open to discussions.

THERE ARE NO OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH A REFUND MAY BE OFFERED.

If you have a query/problem with this policy, then please ask to speak to the Managing Director or the Opportunities Manager.

Replacements

Lost, stolen, or broken wristbands/tickets will not usually be replaced. It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ensure its safekeeping prior to the event. Please contact us with any issues you may have with replacement wristbands.

Transfers

Tickets purchased for CCSU events are transferable, once you have your physical ticket.
