In the event of a cancellation of a performance, ticket holders will be offered alternative performances (subject to availability) up to the seat value on the ticket, but the Theatre Management will make no reimbursement of the cost of travel, accommodation or subsistence nor shall it be liable for any loss of enjoyment.
If you are unable to attend the Event through no fault of Ours, we can offer a ticket exchange facility, subject to availability.
