Event Ticket Terms and Conditions

About this document

What it’s for

Ticket terms are the contract between the organiser and every ticket holder. They must be fair and transparent under consumer law, and must deal clearly with what happens if the event is changed, postponed or cancelled – the most common source of disputes. These terms are written to be compliant and practical.

When to use it

  • For ticketed events sold directly or through a ticket agent
  • Displayed on your website and ticketing platform before purchase
  • When reviewing refund and cancellation terms

How to complete it

  • Fill in event details and choose the options

Key points to check
