Cancellation and changes to Ticket and Package bookings by us

32. Decisions relating to Events being cancelled, postponed or materially changed and the refund policies of such Events, are dictated by the Event promoter and not the Venue. Occasionally we may have to make changes or cancel your booking (of which you have acknowledged is a requirement we reserve as part of these Ticket terms and conditions). If we are constrained by circumstances beyond our control and are required to make changes due to a material change to the Event, Ticket, accommodation or any other main characteristics of the travel services, we will inform you as soon as we reasonably can.

 

Non-material changes to Tickets and Packages

33. We reserve the right to make changes to Tickets and Packages that are not material such as, for example, amending minor or obvious errors in your booking details, changes to your seats as listed on your Tickets which are of an equal value (where it is not possible to allow you to occupy the specific seat printed on your Ticket), or changing accommodation to another of the same or higher standard. For accommodation, the following are classed as non-material changes and will be at no additional cost to you: (i) a change in the rating of the accommodation where the quality of the accommodation has not changed significantly; (ii) a change in the accommodation where substitute accommodation is offered in a similar location and of at least equivalent quality; or (iii) a change in the particular type of room booked where the substitute room is of at least equivalent quality. In these circumstances, we will make these changes without any liability for compensation to you.

 

Material changes to Ticket bookings

34. For purchasers of Tickets, in the event of a cancellation of, postponement of or a material change to an Event:
    1. Cancellation. You will be entitled to a refund unless otherwise notified directly by your point of purchase. Your refund will be processed automatically by your point of purchase within 30 days of cancellation, or within such other timescales as are notified by your point of purchase. If you do not receive your refund within 30 days or the applicable timeframe, please contact your point of purchase directly.
    2. Postponement. You will be offered access to the rescheduled Event at no additional charge, using your original ticket. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled Event, the promoter of the Event will determine if you are entitled to a refund. You will be contacted by your point of purchase regarding the refund policy set by the relevant promoter for the Event, and (if a refund is available), you must liaise with your point of purchase in relation to all refunds.
    3. Material Change. The promoter of the Event will work with the Venue to determine if (i) there has been a material change to the Event and (ii) where a material change is found to exist, if you are entitled to a refund as a result of such material change. You will be contacted by your point of purchase regarding the refund policy set by the relevant promoter for the Event, and (if a refund is available), you must liaise with your point of purchase in relation to all such refunds.
35. Where there is a material change to a Ticket (which is not part of a Package) and where we are not able to offer an alternative that is sufficiently comparable, you are entitled to a refund of the Ticket as a result of such material change. In these circumstances, you will be contacted by your point of purchase regarding the refund policy set by the relevant promoter for the Event, and (if a refund is available), you must liaise with your point of purchase in relation to all such refunds.

 

Material changes to Package bookings

36. Subject to clause 37, for purchasers of Packages, we will inform you without undue delay in the event of a cancellation of, postponement of or material change to an Event or the Package (which is not a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances per clause 21), and regardless of whether compensation is payable or not in these circumstances you may:
    1. accept the material change;
    2. accept substitute arrangements of equivalent or higher quality where we are able to offer this to you;
    3. accept substitute arrangements of lower quality where we are able to offer this to you together with a refund of the difference in price between the original and substitute arrangements; or
    4. cancel the proposed booking altogether where: (i) the substitute arrangements are not comparable to the original Package as outlined at b) above, or (ii) the refund of the difference in price is deemed inadequate by you as outlined at c) above, in which case we will process a refund in full of all money you have paid to us for the booking within 14 days of your request.
37. Where we have been unable to make alternative arrangements in accordance with clause 36, you will be entitled to a price reduction and compensation for damages in accordance with clause 48.
38. You must inform us of your choice under clause 36 above, within 7 days of being informed of the material change we are making, or as soon as reasonably practicable if the Ticket or Package is less than 7 days from the date that you receive notification. If we do not receive notification, you will be deemed to have accepted the option in clause 36.d above.
39. Where we have failed to conform with the requirements of the Package Travel Regulations and you have notified us of the same without undue delay, we will endeavour to resolve the issue within a reasonable period unless it is impossible for us to do so, or, resolution entails disproportionate costs taking into account the lack of conformity and the value of the travel services affected. Where we have failed to remedy the lack of conformity within a reasonable period due to the reasons mentioned in this clause 39, where appropriate you will be entitled to:
    1. terminate the Package, receiving a full refund of any payments made for the Package and without any deduction of the Termination Fee; or
    2. a price reduction (where you have chosen not to terminate the Package); and
    3. compensation for damages in accordance with clause 48.
40. Where we otherwise refuse to remedy a lack of conformity further to clause 39 and not for the reasons set out in that clause or where you require immediate remedy, you are entitled to remedy the lack of conformity yourself in whatever period you deem fit and seek a reimbursement of the necessary expenses from us.
41. We reserve the right to increase the price of the Package where the cost of us providing the Package increases. We will not be able to increase the price of the Package at any time prior to 20 days before the start of the Package and should such price increase exceed 8% of the price of the Package, you will have the right to terminate the Package. Should there be a decrease in the costs of the Package, we will notify you of the same and pass on any relevant price decrease to you.

 

Liability

42. Nothing in these Ticket terms and conditions shall exclude our liability to you for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for any liability which we are unable to legally exclude, limit or modify.
43. Save as is otherwise set out in these Ticket terms and conditions in respect of Packages, and subject to clause 42 we will not be liable for any loss, damage, expenses, compensation or other sum(s) which is caused by us or the supplier of any part of a Package which arises from:
    1. the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or another/any member of your group;
    2. the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel services in the booking that are unforeseeable or unavoidable;
    3. unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances such as a Force Majeure event as set out in the Terms and Conditions;
    4. any loss or damage you incur that relates to any business activity (including without limitation loss of earnings);
    5. any services that you may have entered into separate contracts for with other providers/suppliers and which do not form part of the Package with you;
    6. the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to it being confirmed which we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached these Ticket terms and conditions; or
    7. any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description pursuant to clause 15 of the Terms and Conditions (relating to Covid-19).
44. In regard to Packages and, except as specifically set out in these Ticket terms and conditions, we will not accept any further or different liability than that which the Package Travel Regulations impose on us. It is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us.
45. Any complaints or claims should be made in accordance with clauses 58 - 62. In circumstances where we pay you or agree to pay you compensation, you must give us or our insurers all information about the action(s) that you have taken against anyone else, and you agree to provide us and our insurers will all due co-operation and assistance in respect of any such action we or our insurers take.
46. Subject to clause 42 (loss which we are unable to exclude by law) and clause 50 (circumstances where compensation is not payable by us), we will only be liable to pay for losses which may fairly and reasonably be considered as arising naturally, which are foreseeable as a result of the material change or cancellation we or our supplier of any part of the Package made and which have been mitigated by you in accordance with clause 47. This will include, where applicable:
    1. a full refund of the payments made for the Package;
    2. the compensation payable in accordance with clause 48;
    3. any additional loss not excluded for in these Ticket terms and conditions; and
    4. loss which is foreseeable by us, which is reasonable and which has been mitigated by you in the circumstances. We consider the following examples as useful guidance for what you will be able to claim from us in these circumstances:
       1. reimbursing you standard class travel fares, fuel costs and parking fees, as applicable, from your point of origin and which have been incurred by you prior to our notification to you of the change in your booking; and/or
       2. where we or our suppliers fail to provide you with alternative accommodation at the same standard, the cost of accommodation at the same standard as that originally offered in the Package which you have arranged and paid for.
47. You will at all times make reasonable efforts to mitigate incurring additional and unnecessary costs. For example, where it is necessary for us to postpone a Package in accordance with these Ticket terms and conditions, in circumstances where train travel had been pre-booked by you and is as a result of the postponement required to be cancelled, you will first seek a refund for the purchase price of the train ticket(s) from the relevant operator. Where a refund of the train ticket(s) is granted less any termination fees, we will compensate you, subject always to these Ticket terms and conditions, for the associated termination fees that you have incurred.   

 

Compensation

48. Subject to clause 50 and regardless of which choice is made under clause 36.a - 36.d above, where compensation is payable in accordance with these Ticket terms and conditions, we will pay to you appropriate compensation in accordance with the Package Travel Regulations and subject to:
    1. a maximum compensation amount of three times the price of the Package; and
    2. compensation claims being made by you in accordance with clause 60.
49. When determining the appropriate compensation due to you (and where we are otherwise liable to you for your losses), we:
    1. may ask for supporting receipts or evidence of any costs that you have incurred; and
    2. will take into consideration:
       1. the extent to which you have mitigated incurring any additional and unnecessary costs in accordance with clause 47; and
       2. any refunds which have already been provided to you relating to the Package.
50. We will not be liable for compensation:
    1. where a cancellation of, postponement of or material change to an Event or Package is a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at the place of destination or its immediate vicinity as outlined further at clause 21 of these Ticket terms and conditions;
    2. in circumstances where loss or failure of The O2/the promotor of an Event, or a supplier of any element of a Package is caused by a Force Majeure event as outlined at clause 13.2 of the Terms and Conditions; or
    3. where damage sustained by the traveller as a result of any lack of conformity (as more particularly set out at clause 39) is attributable to the traveller, or a third party unconnected with the provision of any travel services included in the Package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable.

We advise you make any special requests relating to relevant parts of a Package at the time of booking. We will pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, but we cannot guarantee that any such requests will be met and any failure to arrange a special request on our party will not be deemed as being in breach of these Ticket terms and conditions. We reserve the right to decline any booking that is conditional on a special request being met.
57. If you are in difficulty whilst at an Event and ask us to help via speaking to a steward, to security or to guest personnel, we will provide appropriate assistance in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and helping you make communications and find alternative arrangements. We will charge a reasonable fee for such assistance if the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a person in your booking, or as a result of your negligence.

 

Complaints
