Within your account you can also save your address details, reducing the time it takes to purchase tickets.

You can then choose to save your postal details if you like, which will be securely stored by us, saving you time next time you order. This can be especially important when popular events go on sale - it could make the difference between getting tickets and missing out.

When you are collecting tickets from the venue, you will need to go to the venue box office.

We always do our best to ensure you have received your tickets 1 week before the event at the very latest. However occasionally this is not possible due to circumstances beyond our control, such as a delay in the tickets being printed and sent through to us. We do everything within our power to ensure you receive your tickets before the event, however if circumstances mean we are unable to post them to you in time, we will make alternative arrangements for you to collect your tickets at the venue.

If you have not received your tickets 1 week before an event, or 2 days before an event where tickets have been booked within 2 weeks of an event, please contact Customer Services.

For events taking place Monday to Friday, the latest you can inform us of non-receipt of tickets is 12 noon on the day of the event. For events on a Saturday or Sunday, you must let us know by 12 noon the Friday before. If you do not let us know by this time, we cannot guarantee you will be allowed entry.

Tickets for some performances may be sent out in batches. You should receive your tickets very soon. Alternatively, your friend could have purchased their tickets from a different ticket agent. Sometimes different agents receive their tickets from the promoters of the event at slightly different times. If you have any concerns, please contact Customer Services.

Please contact Customer Services.

Only the first scan of the barcode on your ticket will be allowed entry to the event. If more than one copy were to be scanned, the bar code scanner will alert the door staff that the ticket has already been scanned and that ticket would be refused entry.

If you think that someone may have a copy of your e-ticket, contact Customer Services as soon as possible and they will do what they can to help.

Unlike most things you can order online where the goods are ready and waiting to be sent out, and so can be combined into one package for shipment, depending on the event we might receive tickets from venues or promoters several months or a few weeks before the event takes place, so unfortunately due to the nature of the industry it is not possible to send different tickets out together.

Your order number is the final stage in confirming that your order has completed and uniquely identifies your order should you have a query on it. By quoting this number in any correspondence that you have with Ticketline, we can swiftly trace your order and answer any questions that you may have. You will receive a unique order number for every order that you make with Ticketline, which you will need to retain should a query arise.

This can occur when your payment is authorised, but the booking fails to go through. Although we automatically cancel any payment authorisation codes with the bank as soon as a booking fails to complete, it can take up to 2 days for your bank to clear the pending payment.

We accept Visa, Mastercard and Maestro cards.

Your credit card is charged by us as soon as your tickets are purchased, however it can take up to 7 days for the money to be debited from your account. Although tickets may not be sent out to you for some months, the tickets are secured for you as soon as your card is charged.

All our transactions are processed over 128 bit SSL which encrypts your credit and debit card information. We send this encrypted information to our bank so they can process your transaction.

You can store more than one card number with us to give you more flexibility when booking.

We do not keep any of your card information on our servers or in our offices to maximise your security. All card information is stored by our bank at their secure data centre.

Ticketline does not receive any money from the face value of the tickets we sell. Instead we charge a per ticket booking fee that has been agreed with the promoter and artist, which is then split between the promoter, the venue and Ticketline.
Ticketline's percentage of this booking fee covers all the costs associated with running our business, including providing an order service 7 days a week, processing orders, having real people in our customer services department to help with any issues, technology costs and much more.
We try to keep the booking fee as low as possible to provide you with your tickets at the best value.

We charge a fee to print and despatch physical tickets. This covers the cost of our postage and packing.
Alternatively, if you choose to receive mobile e-tickets there is a charge to cover our software costs and to ensure that e-ticket barcodes are valid on the night to provide entry.

Our system conducts address checks on every single purchase made verifying that the billing address matches the registered bank account address. We also monitor ticket buying behaviour and flag anything suspicious, preventing touting.
Adittionally, we also are a member of Visa and MasterCard's 3D secure payments scheme where the customer may be asked to verify their identity directly with their bank as part of the online order process.
In a small number cases we may contact you to request additional ID before despatching your tickets to ensure that they go to the correct address.

When an event is cancelled, we will do our best to inform you as soon as possible after we are notified by the event organisers. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the event for which you have booked is taking place on the date it was scheduled for when you booked.
You may be asked to return your tickets to us. If so, we will contact you with details of what to do.
We refund the face value of any tickets you have ordered, however the booking fee and delivery fee is non-refundable. This is due to the circumstances being beyond our control and lead to us incurring further costs and charges to process and refund customers.

When an event is rescheduled, we will do our best to inform you as soon as possible after we are notified by the event organisers. Your tickets will remain valid for the new date unless we advise you differently. It is your responsibility to ensure that the event for which you have booked is taking place on the date it was scheduled for when you booked.

If you are unable to attend, you can request a face value refund of the tickets by contacting Customer Services a week before the new date or 1 week after you have been notified of the change, whichever is the earlier.

Ticketplan is an additional third party service that protects you against cancellation resulting from accidents and unexpected illnesses.
Booking refund protection is an optional service offered by the booking vendor and administered by Ticketplan. It is not an insurance policy.
Full details are included in the TicketPlan terms and conditions. You can find out more about TicketPlan here.

Tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged after you have completed a purchase except for in the following circumstances:

• If we fail to fulfil an order as a result of any negligence, or similar act or omission of our own or in breach of contract. In these circumstances you will be entitled to a full refund including any booking fee charged.
• If an event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if there are significant changes to the event, namely a change of the headline act or venue and you no longer want to go to the event. In these circumstances we will only refund the face value of the ticket(s) to the card that was used to pay for them, as they are circumstances beyond our control and lead to us incurring further costs and charges.

We will only give refunds when we have received the tickets that you want to return and only in the circumstances mentioned above. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive any tickets that you return so we recommend that all tickets that need to be returned are sent by secure post to:

Ticketline,
PO Box 4061,
Manchester
M60 1YT

We cannot accept responsibility for tickets that we do not receive.

Although we will always attempt to notify you when an event is cancelled, postponed or materially changed, it is your responsibility to ensure that an event is going ahead as advised at the time of order.
If you are unable to attend, you can list your tickets for resale via our ethical resale platform Fanticks.
