Unauthorised Ticket Agents and Touting
Tickets bought from unauthorised agents are not valid and admission will not be granted to the Event if you attempt to use any ticket bought from unauthorised agents. To be as safe as you can and to avoid obtaining an unauthorised ticket, follow these simple guidelines. Please note that these guidelines are not intended to be an exhaustive list of precautions which you should take to avoid obtaining an unauthorised ticket:
- Do not buy from an unofficial ticket agent. LYTE inc. is the official ticket agent of the Event. We may also sell tickets directly for corporate or group bookings. If you are in doubt as to whether or not a ticket agent is authorised please contact us in advance of the ticket purchase and we will be happy to assist. For more information, you may contact us on info@worldclubdomemalta.com .
- Read all terms and conditions provided by the official ticket agent/s before purchase.
- If there are no tickets available, do not be tempted to buy from unofficial ticket agents, instead, contact us for availability and guidance.
- Do not buy from internet auction sites or exchange/buy tickets on social networking sites such as Facebook.
- Do not buy from a website with no registered address shown.
- Do not buy from another individual or tout, either in advance of, or outside, the Event.
- If we are aware that you have bought tickets anywhere other than from official authorised agent/s or outlet/s you will not be granted access to the Event.
Tickets are non-transferable, which means that once purchased you cannot sell them on to others, charges may apply and you must read the terms carefully before accepting, we are not responsible for any such charges). The Promoter will be unable to assist you if you have bought from an unauthorised source, as we will have no purchase history available for the ticket.
If you do encounter problems contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible.
Occasionally, due to genuine circumstances, you may find yourself with a spare ticket. Please do not be tempted to sell it on an unauthorised auction site or to sell to a ticket tout or unauthorised online agency. If you do the purchaser may not be able to enter the Event (under the Terms and Conditions) for the reasons set out above. Should this happen you may find that the purchaser brings a legal claim against you for selling a ticket which does not permit access to the Event.
We reserve the right to cancel any ticket booking which we reasonably believe to have been made with a view to resell such tickets, or, where the ticket has been purchased using fraudulent means, such as credit card fraud.
Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per person per credit card or per household. These restrictions will be notified to you by our ticket agent/s / provider/s and on our website before you make your booking. We reserve the right to cancel tickets purchased in excess of this number without prior notice to you of such cancellation.
Tickets obtained in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be null and void and the Promoter may refuse admission to, or eject you from, the Event. 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.
Refunds
The Promoter/Venue Owner may postpone, cancel, interrupt or stop the event due to adverse weather, dangerous situations, or any other causes beyond his reasonable control. In the event of event postponement, ticket holder will be offered the option to use their ticket/s to the new dates announced.
In the event of a cancellation, postponement or “Material Alteration” of the Event (defined below) you may be entitled to a refund in accordance with the terms and conditions or refund policy of the authorised ticketing agent/s / provider/s from whom you purchased a ticket. Where the cancellation takes place part-way through the Event, you may be entitled to a refund of part of the face price which you paid for the ticket which shall be determined at our reasonable discretion. You will not be entitled to a refund in any other circumstances.
Unless the authorised ticket agent states otherwise, you will not be entitled to a refund of booking fees or taxes.
Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence and accommodation in relation to the Event which have been arranged by you are made at your own risk and neither the authorised ticket agent nor the Promoter will have any liability for any such loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure in the case of a cancellation, postponement or otherwise.
A “Material Alteration” is a change which, within our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event which purchasers of the ticket could reasonably expect. Unless the Event you are attending is a concert with a clear headline act (i.e., not a festival), changes to acts and the use of alternative acts or performers shall not be considered a Material Alteration. A change to performance times is not considered a Material Alteration. A Material Alteration is judged by reference to the nature and billing of each Event. The Event is judged by reference to the overall theme rather than the individual act scheduled to appear. No scheduled acts may be considered as headline acts regardless of their relative fame or prominence on the billing, and so cancellation by an artist will not entitle you to a refund, regardless of their position on the bill.
In the event that you may be eligible for a refund (refund in accordance with the terms and conditions or refund policy of the authorised ticketing agent/s / provider/s ), to claim your refund please refer to the terms and conditions of the authorised ticketing agent/s / provider/s from which you purchased your ticket for details of how to claim a refund or to any communication received from the authorised ticket agent and/or us by e-mail. social media, media or other means. The point of sale may not make a refund if you fail to follow the instructions provided within the notified timeframes.
Any Refunds will only be made to the person who purchased the tickets.
It is your responsibility to check that the Event has not been cancelled, rescheduled or made the subject of a Material Alteration. Information on such matters will be made available on behalf of the Promoter as soon as reasonably practicable on the Promoter’s website and/or at the Event venue/s. Customers are advised that the website cannot always be updated immediately and that circumstances giving rise to cancellation, postponement or Material alterations can sometimes arise immediately prior to an Event. We advise you to check before you travel.
Tickets will not be refunded where they have been used to gain entry to an Event or where you are able to and choose to attend a postponed Event.
Any reduction in price, discount or promotional offers, either to the face value of the ticket or otherwise, will not qualify for a refund or partial refund and can only be carried forward to future events at the Promoter’s discretion.
