(References herein to “you” shall refer to Purchaser and Ticket Holder, as applicable, and references herein to “Ticket Holder” shall include Purchaser.)

The terms and conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) set forth herein apply to the Event and to any websites and web pages operated by or for NTL (the “Sites”).

Tickets and Terms of Sale

Tickets (or any other entry credential) (collectively, “tickets”) sold through this website or the Event’s official ticketing service provider’s website or otherwise obtained by a Ticket Holder grant to Ticket Holder a revocable license to attend the Event identified on such ticket and may be revoked by NTL at any time for any reason. Resale or attempted resale of any issued ticket at a price higher than the face value is grounds for seizure or cancellation without refund or other compensation. Tickets should be kept in a safe place at all times. Tickets cannot be replaced if lost, stolen or destroyed, and are valid only for the Event for which they are issued. It is unlawful to copy, duplicate or otherwise reproduce any ticket in any form. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be counterfeit and worthless. NTL is not responsible for any loss or inconvenience caused by any unauthorized duplication of a ticket. In the event duplicate copies of a ticket are presented, Management (defined below) reserves the right to refuse entry to the Event for all persons presenting such duplicated tickets.

The terms of sale of each ticket issued pursuant to a transaction initiated on the Sites or the Event’s official ticketing service provider’s website are subject to any and all terms imposed by NTL, including without limitation NTL’s refund and Event cancellation policies. In order to be admitted to the Event, each attendee must present the ticket in its original, undamaged, unaltered form, to the Venue at the time of entry.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GRANTED FOR ANY REASON. ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED. IF THE EVENT FOR WHICH ANY PURCHASED TICKET IS RESCHEDULED OR CANCELLED, NEITHER PURCHASER NOR TICKET HOLDER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW OR OTHERWISE DETERMINED BY NTL IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. IF THE EVENT IS RESCHEDULED, TICKET HOLDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE THE TICKET TO ATTEND THE EVENT AT THE RESCHEDULED DATE AND TIME. If the Event is cancelled (and not rescheduled), NTL will establish policies and procedures for purchased tickets at the time of cancellation. If NTL elects, in its sole discretion, to refund any purchased ticket, service fees charged by the Event’s ticketing service provider are non-refundable.

Tickets bear no cash value and are not redeemable for cash. Tickets are not subject to exchange except as expressly provided above. If issued as a complimentary ticket, the ticket is not exchangeable or redeemable for another ticket to or for any other event or performance or for any other consideration, present or future, monetary or otherwise. PURCHASER AGREES TO NOT FILE A CHARGEBACK OR ANY TYPE OF PAYMENT REVERSAL FOR ANY REASON.

In purchasing tickets, you may be linked to a third-party site. NTL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ASPECT OF THIRD-PARTY SITES, INCLUDING PURCHASES MADE ON THOSE SITES. You should review the terms and conditions found on these third-party sites and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any third party. NTL does not endorse any of the products or services, nor has NTL taken any steps to confirm the accuracy or reliability of, any of the information contained in such third-party sites or content. NTL does not make any representations or warranties as to the security of any information (including, without limitation, credit card and other personal information) you might be requested to give any third party, and you hereby irrevocably waive any Claim (defined below) against the Released Parties (defined below) with respect to such sites and third-party content.

If Purchaser is obtaining tickets for, or providing any tickets to, any other person(s), Purchaser recognizes that they are acting as that person’s agent in obtaining the tickets, and due to this agency relationship, Purchaser agrees to these Terms and Conditions on behalf of any person (including, without limitation, any Ticket Holder) to whom Purchaser delivers any of the tickets he or she has obtained, and Purchaser shall notify any such person of these Terms and Conditions when he or she delivers a ticket to that person. If Ticket Holder has obtained a ticket from another person, Ticket Holder agrees to these Terms and Conditions when the ticket is delivered to him or her.

Unless otherwise agreed by NTL in its sole discretion, tickets are non-refundable even if the Event is terminated early or canceled, or entry conditions are modified, due to governmental regulation, the failure to obtain required governmental permits, any conditions beyond NTL’s reasonable control, or any other force majeure event or occurrence of or similar to the nature described above. Management reserves all rights not expressly granted to Ticket Holder by these terms.

Entry and Search

Ticket Holder may be refused entry to the Event or the Venue for various reasons.

Undesirable conduct of any of the types expressly listed above will automatically terminate this license and all rights of Ticket Holder. The exercise of Management’s ejection rights hereunder does not entitle Ticket Holder (or Purchaser) to a refund of the ticket price or any part thereof. The ticket is a revocable license and, without limiting any other rights granted or reserved to NTL or Management hereunder or otherwise, admission may be refused to any person upon refunding the face amount of such person’s ticket.
