In the event that CitizenTicket is selling tickets for its own events, all references to an Event Provider will refer to CitizenTicket.

The following terms and conditions both govern the use of the CitizenTicket website (“Site”) and apply to any purchases you make from CitizenTicket (collectively the “Terms”).

Where you have provided us with an email address during the purchase of any tickets, we will notify you of the changes to these Terms by sending a copy to the email address you provided when purchased tickets on our site. The new Terms will also be posted to the Site.

CITIZENTICKET PURCHASE POLICY
- Contract
  - In order to place an order through the Site, you confirm that:
    - You are at least 16 years old;
    - You have capacity to enter into a contract for the purchase of tickets; and
    - You are ordering through the Site as a personal user and not for commercial or business purposes.
  - Any purchase from CitizenTicket is subject to:
    - These Terms;
    - Any terms and conditions stated to be applicable by the Event Provider; and
    - Any terms and conditions applicable to the event or venue for which the tickets have been purchased.
  - Your contract for purchase starts once we have confirmed your order, and ends immediately after completion of the event for which you have purchased ticket(s).
  - All purchases are subject to credit or debit card verification (if applicable), other security checks, blockchain verification, and collection of payment by CitizenTicket (or our third party payment providers, SagePay). Your order may be cancelled if it has not passed our verification process or if payment, including any applicable fees, is not received in full.
  - It is prohibited to obtain or attempt to obtain any tickets through unauthorised use of any robot, spider or other automated device or software, or any other illegal or unauthorised activity including but not limited to chargebacks.
  - We reserve the right to cancel any order(s) that we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently or otherwise in breach of these Terms. Cancellation may be without notice to you. Any and all tickets(s) obtained as part of any such cancelled order(s) will be void.
  - To prevent fraud and protect CitizenTicket and its Event Providers, we reserve the right to carry out checks and/or request that additional information be provided in order to verify purchases. In accordance with clause 2.1.6, we may cancel orders which we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently.
- Prices and Payment
  - The ticket prices are quoted on the Site are set by the Event Providers and are inclusive of VAT, but may be exclusive of delivery costs, booking fees, and/or other administration costs. Any additional fees or costs will be brought to your attention prior to purchase and added to the total cost payable prior to payment being taken.
  - Whilst we try to ensure that all advertised prices are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any ticket that you have purchased, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of:
    - confirming your order at the correct price (in which case we will credit or debit the card you used to make the initial purchase as applicable); or
    - cancelling your order (in which case you will receive a full refund).

If we are unable to contact you, on the contact details you provided when placing your order, to confirm your order at the correct price, you agree that we may treat the order as cancelled and issue you with a full refund.

We use SagePay to collect and process credit card and debit card transaction information, and their security policy can be found here.
Payment for ticket(s) purchased on the Site may be by debit or credit card as fulfilled by SagePay.

Tickets
- Any tickets purchased will be at your risk from the time of deemed receipt of the order confirmation as set out in clause 2.1.3.
- Any ticket you purchase from us remains the property of the relevant Event Provider and is a personal revocable licence which may be withdrawn and admission refused at any time. If this occurs, refunds will only be issued according to the provisions set out in these Terms at clause 2.5.
- It is your responsibility to check your tickets prior to purchase and once they have been delivered; mistakes cannot always be rectified.
- Where your tickets are for allocated seats, you have the right only to seats of a value corresponding to that stated on the ticket. We on behalf of the relevant Event Provider or venue reserve the right (whether before or during the event) to provide alternative seats to those initially allocated to you or specified on the tickets.
Availability and Delivery
- Tickets will be issued in the form of eTickets containing a QR Code that may be scanned for entry at the event.
- The number of tickets that may be purchased may be restricted to a maximum amount per person, per payment card, or by household. We reserve the right to cancel tickets without prior notice purchased in excess of the maximum amount. Should the tickets be cancelled, a full refund will be issued.
Refunds and Cancellation Policy
- Tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged or refunded once purchased other than for the reasons set out in these Terms.

Tickets purchased for third party events

For tickets purchased when CitizenTicket acts as agent for third party Event Providers:
- Customers are referred to the refunds and cancellation policy as set out in the Event Providers’ own terms and conditions.
- CitizenTicket will not offer customers refunds purchased via the Site unless authorised to so by the relevant Event Provider. If a customer disputes the Event Provider’s decision to not issue a refund or the amount of a refund, the customer should contact the Event Provider directly.
- If the Event Provider decides to cancel or postpone an event prior to the event date, upon receiving the written authorisation of the Event Provider, CitizenTicket will process customers’ refunds within 14 days of receiving the instructions from the Event Provider to do so.
- In the event the Event Provider refuses entry to the event to any customer, the Event Provider will have the sole discretion as to whether any refund shall be issued.

Tickets purchased for CitizenTicket events

For tickets purchased where CitizenTicket is the Event Provider:
- If an event is cancelled, ticket holders will be offered tickets at any rescheduled event (subject to availability) up to the face value of the tickets. If the ticket holder is unable to attend the rescheduled event or the event is not rescheduled, the ticket holder will be entitled to a refund if the ticket holder notifies us in writing as per clauses 2.5.5 and 4.3.
- If an event for which you have purchased tickets is “materially altered” as defined below, other than a rescheduling, you may choose to cancel your order by notifying us in writing as per clause 2.5.3(d). Failure to inform us in writing within the deadline specified by us that you wish to cancel your order will be deemed to be a reconfirmation of your order for the tickets for the altered event, and you will not be entitled to a refund.
- For the purposes of these Terms, a Material Alteration is a change which in CitizenTicket’s reasonable opinion, makes the event materially different to the event that purchasers of the tickets, taken generally, could reasonably expect. In particular, the following are not deemed to be Material Alterations:
  - The use of understudies in theatre performances;
  - Adverse weather conditions;
  - Changes of any supporting act;
  - Changes to the event location where this is within the reasonable vicinity of the initial location;
  - Changes to individual members of a band;
  - Changes to the line-up of any multi-performer event (e.g. a festival);
  - Curtailment of the event where the majority of an event is performed in full; and
  - Delays to the start of an event.
- All requests for refunds must be made in writing to CitizenTicket at info@citizenticket.co.uk as per clause 3 no later than 7 days after the date of the cancelled event or the date the ticket holder was notified that the event was to be rescheduled or Materially Altered.
In the event a refund is being issued due to an error by CitizenTicket or due to the cancellation of the event for which tickets have been purchased, the refund amount will normally include the sale price of the ticket(s) purchased, as well as, booking fee and any other charges. If a refund is being issued for any other reason, the refund amount will be for the sale price of the ticket(s) purchased and may exclude the booking fee and any other charges.
Refunds will only be issued to the original purchaser and to the original payment method.
