Data will only ever be shared with a third party for explicit, necessary processing purposes; such as Kaboodle, our primary ticket agency for purposes of accreditation on site, Tuned In Travel, our official travel partner etc.

COVID-19

Where an Event is cancelled or postponed for any reasons related to Covid-19 (including, where the Event is permitted to take place but it is not financially viable to do so), in the event a Ticket Purchaser is entitled to a refund, any refunds must be applied for within 1 calendar month of the date of cancellation/postponement.

You should not attend the Event if any of the following apply:

  • you have tested positive for Covid-19 within 14 days of the commencement of the Event;

  • you display any symptoms of Covid-19 within 14 days of the commencement of the Event;

  • you live with somebody or are in a linked household with somebody who displays symptoms of Covid-19 or who has tested positive for Covid-19 within 14 days of the commencement of the Event;

  • you are otherwise required to self-isolate; or

  • your attendance would be in breach of latest government legislation or guidance relating to Covid-19 containment at the time of the Event. Please note, these could differ from the above sub paragraphs.


If all, or a combination of the circumstances set out above apply to you but the Event has not been cancelled or postponed, unless we adopt a different refund policy on an Event by Event basis which we advise to you in writing, refunds will be issued at our discretion (unless otherwise required by applicable law) or you may be permitted to transfer your Ticket to the following year’s Event. Refunds under these circumstances must be applied for within 1 calendar month of the start date of the Event and may not be applied for any more than 14 days prior to the advertised start date of the Event. Please note, we may ask for supporting evidence that such circumstances apply to you which may include (without limitation) a doctor’s certificate and a copy of any messages received from NHS Track and Trace. All requests will be reasonable and all personal data shall be processed in accordance with section 5.

We have the right, at our complete discretion and without payment of any refund or any further liability, to refuse entry to or eject from the Venue any attendee who we reasonably believe may display Covid-19 symptoms or who may not have followed Government legislation or guidelines or otherwise be in breach of these Conditions or any Site Rules (including, but not limited to, any Covid-19 specific Site Rules).

If Government guidelines or legislation mean we have to reduce the Event capacity, regrettably, we may need to cancel your Ticket to comply with those requirements. Any such cancellations will be at our sole discretion. We will notify you as soon as possible in advance and as regards your Ticket the Event will be deemed to have been cancelled.

Any refunds shall be for the proportionate amount of the face value of the Tickets purchased only (i.e. the specified Ticket price including any bolt-on purchases such as accommodation, upgrades, or parking including VAT) but excluding any fees or charges paid in addition to the face value of the Ticket (for example, any booking fees, transaction fees or postage or courier charges in addition to the face value); in each case, except where required by applicable law.

We will take reasonable operational steps to comply with any relevant legislation and/or relevant Covid-19 safety guidance which apply to the Event and/or the Venue. We may instate these prior to or during the Event. We will communicate these measures to you either via our website, social media channels, onsite at the Event or via direct communication. You are responsible for ascertaining what rules are in place at the Event as regards Covid-19 and for understanding and complying with all adapted Site Rules for attendance at the Event in relation to Covid-19.

Specific Site Rules introduced for the Event as a result of Covid-19 will be compulsory for all attendees of the Event. These will prevail over any conflicting Conditions or conflicting Site Rules. Failure to comply may result in you being refused entry to or ejected from the Venue without refund.

You will be attending the Event and using any facilities on-site at your own risk. We will take all reasonable measures to ensure the health and safety of our attendees and everyone legally onsite at the Event but we cannot be responsible for the behaviour or health of other Event attendees and cannot ensure that no attendees will have Covid-19. Therefore, you accept that we will not be responsible should you contract Covid-19, nor for any related illness or death as a result of attending the Event unless caused by our negligence.
