Tickets may not be re-sold for profit or commercial gain, this includes re-selling through secondary ticketing websites. Customers who have contravened these rules may be denied entry to the venue.

All under 14s must be accompanied by an adult, aged 18 or over. No under 14s are allowed in the standing area of the auditorium.

Booster seats are available on a first come first served basis.

To ensure all customers can enjoy a performance, parents or guardians may be asked to remove noisy or disruptive children.

It is the responsibility of the lead booker to check the suitability of performances for children. Some performances have age restrictions and guidance in place. Please see individual show pages for up to date information as refunds will not be given for this reason once purchased.

Latecomers may only be admitted at a suitable break in the performance and at some shows may not be permitted entry at all. Please arrive in plenty of time before the performance start time. Please note that it may not be possible to sit in your purchased seat if you arrive late to a performance.

Doors times
Please note if the ticket states a doors time, this is the time at which the auditorium opens for access, not the start of the performance. Updated show times will be posted on the website as soon as they are available.

Admission
Customers must present a valid ticket to gain entry to the building. For those who are part of a group booking, each person should present a valid ticket, or arrive at the same time as the lead booker. Failure to present a valid ticket may mean you are refused entry.

The management reserves the right to refuse admission to the venue and remove any ticket holder from the venue without refund, for reasons of public safety. This can include, but is not limited to, crowd surfing, moshing or non-compliance with any entry protocols.

Standing in seated areas

We cannot guarantee that customers will be informed before the performance date due to circumstances beyond our control.

It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to check before attending whether a performance or event has been cancelled or rescheduled. Management accept no responsibility for any additional costs (travel, accommodation etc.) incurred due to the cancellation.

Refunds for rescheduled or cancelled events

Unless otherwise specified by the promoter, tickets for rescheduled or postponed performances will be valid for the new date and should be retained. For customers who are unable to attend the revised date will need to request a refund at least 30 calendar days before the revised performance date or by an earlier date, which will be communicated to you, if specified by a promoter.
