  2. When to Raise an Issue

  3. Problem with your Tickets upon Receipt
    1. If you find upon receipt of your tickets that they are not as described, then an issue should be raised immediately with the procedure dependent on the delivery method, as below.
      1. Where tickets are delivered by post then please raise an issue in the 'Your Account' section of our site.

    2. Please note that retaining any disputed tickets and subsequently using them to attend the event will be taken as accepting that the tickets received were correct.
    3. Problem with your tickets upon presentation at the venue
      1. If you find upon presentation of your tickets at the venue that they are not valid and / or result in you being denied entry, we will require you to obtain a written 'turn away notification' from the venue itself. This should outline what the problem was and provide a contact name at the venue should we require further information.
      2. An issue must then be raised in the 'Your Account' section of our site. This must be achieved within 48 hours of the event start time, otherwise we reserve the right to close the dispute. You will subsequently be sent an address to post both the unused tickets and 'turn away notification' to so that we can investigate further.
    4. Problem with buyer at time of delivery
      1. As a seller, if you believe that you properly delivered the tickets to the buyer via the agreed delivery method and that the tickets you supplied were as described, and the buyer has acted improperly, then please raise an issue in the 'Your Account' section of our site.
      2. This must be achieved within 48 hours of the due delivery date or Meet Up time, otherwise we reserve the right to close the dispute.
  4. The Process for Resolving Disputes
    1. We will endeavour to get back to you and anyone else concerned within 3 working days of the dispute being logged with us, within which time we may request further details. However if the matter is urgent (owing to a pending event date, etc.), we will prioritise your dispute accordingly.
    2. If you are a buyer, you must provide us with an order reference number, any used or unused tickets, venue 'turn away notification' or other evidence as appropriate or reasonably requested by us. These are to be provided to us at your expense.

These are to be provided to us at your expense.
