Terms & Conditions for Ticket Buyers

This website (“Site”) is owned and operated by EventBookings Pty Ltd ACN 29 620 013 569 trading as EventBookings (“EventBookings”). Throughout these Terms of Use, the terms “EventBookings”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to EventBookings and its associated entities and “you” refers to the individual accessing the Site.

These terms and conditions govern the relationship between you and EventBookings. There may be additional terms and conditions imposed by an event organiser or venue operator in respect of an event for which you purchase tickets. It is your responsibility to review these terms prior to the purchase of tickets.

Please read these terms of use carefully. By visiting the Site and purchasing tickets and/or registrations you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms (“Terms”) and by the EventBookings’ Privacy Policy. You must not use or access the Site or deal with the tickets you purchase in violation of these Terms. If you choose not to be bound by the Terms then you must not use the Site or purchase tickets from the Site.

EventBookings may vary these Terms at any time and will post the variations on this Site. By continuing to use the Site after the varied terms are posted, you agree to be bound by the variation.

1. Who we are and what we do

• 1.1. EventBookings facilitates the sale of tickets and membership registrations by Ticket Sellers by allowing Ticket Sellers to create an event page on the Site from which tickets or registrations can be purchased by you (“event page”), and giving Ticket Sellers access to a secure payment gateway. As such, except as specified in these Terms, we are not liable for any dispute over an event or a ticket purchase.
• 1.2. Details of the event organiser can be found on each event page. Each ticket is issued subject to the terms and conditions of the event organiser and/or the venue at which the event is held.
• 1.3. We have no control over ticket prices, postage and handling fees or ticket delivery methods.
• 1.4. You acknowledge that EventBookings acts as an agent for the relevant event organiser. Any claims with respect to the purchase of tickets or membership registrations (including cancellation or postponement of events) lie solely with the event organiser and to the extent permitted by law EventBookings takes no responsibility or liability for such claims.

2. Purchasing tickets or registrations

• 2.1. When you make a purchase from the Site you acknowledge and agree that:
• 2.2. We reserve the right to cancel any ticket and refund the amount paid in full where there has been an error in ticket pricing, whether due to human error or a transactional malfunction of the Site, and offer to rectify such an error by re-processing the transaction with the correct ticket pricing.
• 2.3. The event organiser has the right to add or vary the advertised program, seating arrangements and audience capacity and deny admission with reasonable cause including due to intoxication, unsociable behaviour, failing to observe lawful directions, possession of invalid or insufficient tickets or ID or health and safety precautions.
• 2.4. You are responsible for having your tickets, as purchased through EventBookings, available at the event. No refunds or exchanges are provided for lost or stolen tickets or for a failure on your part to present at the event. It is your responsibility to provide correct e-ticket information (email address) to allow adequate time for the delivery of tickets.

3. Payment

• 3.1. All credit card purchases are processed through our secure online payment system. The event organiser determines how you may pay for tickets and registrations.
• 3.2. Tickets purchased on the Site are subject to a non-refundable per order service fee which will be included in the ticket price.
• 3.3. Unless stated to be otherwise, charges referred to for any tickets or registrations supplied via the Site are stated inclusive of GST. A tax invoice will be provided to you upon completing your purchase of tickets. GST means the Australian goods and services tax charged under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999. Tax Invoice means tax invoice as defined by the Act.
• 3.4. All prices are stated in Australian dollars.

4. Cancelled, varied or postponed Events

• 4.1. The event organiser is surely responsible and liable for providing any refund or comparable ticket where an event is cancelled, varied or postponed. You should check the terms of sale of the Ticket Seller with respect to its policy on cancelled, varied or postponed events.
• 4.2. So that the event organiser can contact you with information relating to your tickets or the event, we may be required to pass on your contact information. We do not authorise the event organiser to send you any unsolicited emails, mail or “spam”.
• 4.3. We and the event organiser will use reasonable endeavours to notify ticket holders of a cancellation, variation or postponement; however, the responsibility to ascertain whether an event has been cancelled, varied or postponed is yours. We do not guarantee that the ticket holders will be informed of a cancellation, variation or postponement before the date of the event.

5. Exchanges and refunds

• 5.1. All ticket sales are final. For clarification, you are not entitled to a refund if:
• 5.2. If your ticket is lost, stolen or damaged (including if it is lost in the mail), we are not required to replace it unless we can identify the seat corresponding to the ticket, or in the case of a general admission ticket can identify and cancel the relevant ticket. We may charge a reasonable administration fee in these circumstances.
