If we discover an error in the price or quantity of any Item you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price/quantity (in which case we will credit or debit you as applicable) or cancelling your order (in which case you will receive a full refund).

4.3 Ticket prices are set at the time of the initial on-sale and may stay the same for some time or even until the event in some cases. However, all our Tickets are “market-priced,” and so Sale Prices may increase or decrease at any time, based on demand. This is similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold and is commonly referred to as “Dynamic Pricing”. You will not be entitled to a refund or credit if (a) the Sale Price you paid for a Ticket was at any time before you purchased your Ticket less than the Sale Price you paid; or (ii) the Sale Price of any other Tickets to the relevant event (whether in the same price category or otherwise) is/are subsequently reduced after you purchase your Ticket.

We will not be responsible for any costs or losses you incur if you assume that an order was or was not placed because you failed to receive an order confirmation.
4.9 All purchases are subject to credit or debit card verification (if applicable), other security checks, and collection of payment by us.

We accept no responsibility or liability for such cancellations, as these are outside our control.
