ShowPlanr Booking Terms & Conditions


The following Terms and Conditions apply when purchasing tickets via www.showplanr.com. When purchasing tickets via third party / venue websites please refer to the relevant vendor’s own terms and conditions of purchase instead.

(For general showplanr.com website terms and conditions please see www.showplanr.com/terms)

By ordering tickets via ShowPlanr you confirm that you have read and accept the Terms and Conditions in their entirety.

 

1. Contract

1.1 A legally binding contract will come into existence when we accept your order.

1.2 Acceptance of an order placed by you is subject to the condition that tickets are available for the performance selected by you.

1.3 We will notify you by email if we accept your order. Acceptance will be deemed to have been effectively communicated to you when we send the email (whether or not you receive such communication), subject to 1.4 below.

1.4 An order for tickets is not complete until accepted by ShowPlanr. In the unlikely event of a pricing error relating to your ticket order you will be informed at the earliest opportunity and we may either cancel the order (in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any service fees and fulfilment fees already paid) or give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price.

1.5 No order will be accepted until we have received full payment for the cost of the tickets (including, where applicable, any booking/postage fees and VAT).

1.6 Once purchased, tickets cannot be transferred, resold, exchanged, refunded or returned unless the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or details of the event are significantly changed after an order has been placed (significant changes being a change of headline act, venue or show time), unless covered by Ticket Refund Protection as per Condition 1.10.

1.7 If an event is cancelled by the organiser/promoter (be that us or a third party), we will notify you by phone, email or in writing (using the details you provided us with at the time of ordering) and the face value of the ticket will be refunded as set forth in Condition 1.9.

1.8 If an event is moved to another date we will notify you by phone OR email OR in writing (using the details you provided us with at the time of ordering) and advise you of the rescheduled event. Tickets will usually remain valid and refund requests, subject to Condition 1.9, will usually be accepted within a reasonable time frame from the announcement of the rescheduled date, no later than 2 months before the rescheduled show date or 2 weeks after notification of the change (whichever is later) unless otherwise notified. Failure to notify us within this deadline that you are unable to attend will be classed as acceptance of the new show date and you will not be able to claim a refund.

1.9 Where such a refund is sought due to cancellation, rescheduling or a significant change to the event, the refund will equal the price paid by you including any inclusive per ticket charges and, where included as standard, Ticket Refund Protection.

1.10 Where explicitly stated in the booking process, Ticket Refund Protection is included within the advertised ticket price at no additional cost.

(i) For all bookings made on or after 1 October 2022, Ticket Refund Protection is provided by TicketPlan Ltd. TicketPlan protection will provide you with a refund if you're unable to attend the show due to a wide range of unforeseen circumstances including:

  • Accident / illness / injury

  • Public transport failure / mechanical breakdown / adverse weather

  • Home emergency / jury service / court summons

1.11 Where Ticket Refund Protection is included, please note that eligibility for a refund is determined and administered by TicketPlan Ltd (see 1.10) and ShowPlanr is not liable for the outcome of applications. TicketPlan Refund Protection is an optional service (included in ticket price where applicable) offered by ShowPlanr and administered by TicketPlan on their behalf. It is not an insurance policy.
