Please check your tickets on receipt carefully and contact us immediately if there is a mistake. We will not be responsible for any ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. It is not possible to issue duplicate tickets. For example, for events where there is a possibility of both the original and duplicate tickets being used, compromising the licensed capacity of the venue. Duplicates will not therefore be issued. Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example proof of care) will be required. Ownership or possession of a ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on you to use, alter, copy, or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trademarks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the ticket.
