General

All Tickets are sold subject to these Terms and Conditions. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully prior to purchase and raise any queries with the Management prior to purchase. Purchase of any Ticket constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

Restrictions

Your Ticket may be invalidated if any part of it is removed, altered or defaced.  All tickets, prices, concession, and discounts are subject to availability and can be changed and/or withdrawn at any time, without prior notice. Only one concession or discount can be applied per ticket purchased and cannot be applied retrospectively.

Children: Children under the age of five years old will not under any circumstances be admitted to the show. In addition, we have an advisory age limit of 8 years old for children as in our opinion the show is not suitable for children under this age. We would also like to point out that the show may contain adult content that patrons under 16 years old may find offensive.
All children require their own ticket and should be able to sit in a seat for the duration of the performance. The Ticket is the full Ticket price as there are no child concessions. Children aged 15 or under will not be allowed entry to the Event unless they are supervised for the duration of the Event by a parent or carer. Supervision of such children shall be by no less than 1 adult per 10 children.
The Management and Promoter reserves the right to refuse admission and will require the parent/carer to remove any child in their care if, in the opinion of the Management and Promoter, they are causing a disturbance to other patrons.

Tickets

Upon purchase, please check Tickets carefully as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase.

Sale prices may increase or decrease at any time based on demand. You will not be entitled to a refund if at any time the sales price for the same price category is less than the price you paid after purchase.

Only one discount type per booking will be permitted.

Fees: All bookings will incur a non-refundable/non-exchangeable £3.00 transaction fee.

The symbols we will accept are:

• – +1 & +2 – for those who require an Essential Companion/s.
• – Assistance Dogs – for those who need to bring an Assistance Dog.

These terms are only applied to tickets purchased directly with Thursford through the Box Office and so that we can be assured that the facility is only offered to those who need it. The eligibility criteria may change without prior notice. If you have booked through a sub agent, please refer to their terms and conditions.

Further details on the Access card can be found here: https://www.thursford.com/nimbus/

Wheelchair users: We have limited wheelchair spaces and we must be made aware of those wishing to remain in their wheelchairs at the time of original booking. Patrons who wish to remain in their wheelchairs must have a ticket that is allocated to a wheelchair space as shown on the seating plan (pdf on our website). For your comfort and enjoyment, we would advise arrival at Thursford at least one hour before the start of the performance. Unfortunately, we cannot supply wheelchairs for these events.

Your seat: You only have the right to a seat of a value corresponding to that stated on the Ticket and the Promoter and the Management acting reasonably reserve the right to provide alternative seats to those specified on the Ticket.

Ownership or possession of a Ticket: Ownership or possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on You to use, alter, copy, or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trademarks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.

Event

The Management and the Promoter reserve the right to alter the advertised programme should this prove necessary.

It is Your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event. Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, the Management will use its reasonable endeavours to notify You using the details You provided at the time of booking. The Management does not guarantee that You will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event. It is Your responsibility to inform the point of sale from where you bought the ticket of any change to the contact address, telephone number or email address You provided at the time of booking.

Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the performance is cancelled or rescheduled. You will be entitled to claim a refund from the Management. The refund for Tickets equals the face value of the Tickets purchased plus the relevant per Ticket booking fee but excludes any transaction fees. However, if the performance has to be interrupted or abandoned, no money will be refunded if half or more of the show has taken place. Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence and accommodation relating to the Event which have been arranged by You are at Your own risk and the Management or Promoter shall not be liable for any loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure beyond the Ticket price and relevant booking fee (excluding any transaction fees).

In order to claim Your refund, where an Event is cancelled, please apply in writing to the point of sale from where you bought the ticket, enclosing Your complete unused Tickets within 1 month from the date of the Event. Where an Event is rescheduled, You must apply in writing to your point of sale, enclosing Your complete unused Tickets in good time before the date of the rescheduled Event.  The Management and/or the point of sale will not make any refund if Tickets and/or the relevant notification are not received by the point of sale within the above timeframes. Refunds will only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets.

Resale

Tickets are personal revocable licences and shall at all times remain the property of the Management and subject to these Terms and Conditions.  If a Ticket is re-sold, transferred or advertised for profit or commercial gain by anyone other than the Management, Promoter, or an authorised sub-agent, it will be void and You will be refused entry to, or ejected from, the Venue without refund. You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket if You are doing so in the course of business. You are deemed to be selling or transferring in the course of business if the Management reasonably believes that You are doing so. The Management may reasonably consider that a Ticket is being resold in the course of business including without limitation: if You frequently advertise or offer tickets for resale; or where the Management reasonably considers that a Ticket offered for resale has originally been purchased with the specific intention of offering it for resale for profit and with no intention of You attending the Event.  If You offer a Ticket for sale for profit on an authorised Ticket exchange before the Event the Management may consider it to be a business transaction by taking other factors into consideration, including, without limitation: the number of tickets being sold by You; any evidence that You or the person You bought the Ticket for cannot attend the Event for genuine reasons; and whether any third party business not authorised by the Management will benefit financially from the resale of the Ticket. Re-selling a Ticket for profit means any re-sale that seeks a price higher than the face value of the Ticket and the relevant booking and/or handling fee that You paid for the Ticket.

Liability

Tickets obtained in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be null and void and the Management may refuse admission to or eject You from the Venue.

Void tickets: Any person seeking to use a void Ticket in order to gain or provide entry to an Event will be considered to be a trespasser and will be ejected and liable to legal action. Void Tickets are non-refundable.

Refusing entry: The Management reserves the right to refuse You entry to and/or eject You from the Event and/or Venue in reasonable circumstances including without limitation for health and safety or licensing reasons; if You behave in a manner which has or is likely to affect the enjoyment of other persons at the Event; if You behave in a fashion that puts You or your party  at risk; if You use threatening, abusive or insulting words or mannerisms; if, in the Management’s reasonable opinion, You are acting under the influence of alcohol or drugs; if You fail, when required, to produce proof of identity or age; if You refuse to comply with the Management’s security searches; if You breach these Terms; or if Your Ticket is void.
