Hide & Seek Festival - Terms and conditions

Terms & Conditions

In these Terms & Conditions (the “Conditions), (i) “Event” means the event for which You have purchased a ticket; (ii) “the Promoter”, “we”, “us” and “our” means Hide&Seek Festival Ltd and any associated promoter(s) of the Event; and (iii) “you” and “your” means you as the ticket holder. Your purchase of a valid ticket and entry into the Event constitutes your acceptance of all of the Conditions laid out below.

You must be 18 or over to attend the Event. It is important that you read and take note of the full policy below. No pass-outs, No re-entry, No refunds (subject to clause 5).

For the purposes of these Conditions: a – ‘major cancellation’ is the cancellation of the Event in full (and not rescheduled). If only one or more days (but not all days) of the Event are cancelled, you may only be offered a proportionate partial refund; b – ‘material alteration’ is a change (other than a rescheduling) which, in the Promoter’s opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that ticket purchasers, taken generally, could reasonably expect. In particular, please note that the following are not deemed to be ‘material alterations’: changes to the line-up of the Event; adverse weather conditions; changes to individual members of an act; curtailment of the Event where the majority of the Event is performed in full; and delays to starting the performance of an Event; and c – ‘special exception’ is an exception determined by the Promoter in its sole discretion.

Refunds are only considered on major cancellation, substantial alteration or by special exception determined by the Promoter in its sole discretion. You must claim your refund within the time frame set out in the announcement made by the Promoter notifying you of the re-scheduled date or that an event has been materially changed. If the Event is cancelled, you must claim your refund within the timeframe set out by the Promoter.

A minimum of the proportionate amount of the face value of the ticket will be refunded. Personal arrangements including, but not limited to, travel, subsistence and accommodation relating to the Event which have been arranged by you are at your own risk and the Promoter shall not be liable for any losses incurred from personal arrangements or wasted expenditure beyond the ticket refund.

Subject to clause 40 below, the Promoter is unable to accept liability for personal or property damages, losses (including surrendered items), or injuries sustained at the Event. Any personal property brought to the Event is at your own risk.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the full, advertised billed performances take place, the Promoter reserves the right to change the published bill and/or running times without notification. This includes, but is not limited to, artists and billed attractions. Tickets are for the Event and not a specific artist.
