Where tickets for the alternative performance or seats are at a higher rate, then the difference will be due from the customer. No refund will be made if seats at the alternative performance are cheaper that the original performance.

In the event of a performance being cancelled, then full refunds or credits will be offered to those who purchased tickets, you will be able to request a refund up to 30 days from when the event was scheduled to be performed. Our liability shall be limited to the value of the tickets purchased.

2.2 Rules of admission

• You need a valid ticket which must be produced on arrival to enter the auditorium, and at any other reasonable time if requested.
• The paper or electronic ticket remains the property of the University of Lincoln.
• Please check carefully the event, venue, date and time printed on the front of your ticket as mistakes cannot always be rectified after the booking has been confirmed.
• Any advertised running time may change so please check with the Box Office on the day of the performance.
• We reserve the right to refuse admission in reasonable circumstances or to request any ticket holder to leave the theatre and take appropriate action to enforce this right.
• If you arrive later than the advertised start time or you need to leave the auditorium for any reason, then you may be asked to wait until a suitable break in the performance before you can take your seat. This may be the interval.
• To ensure audience safety, the University of Lincoln may conduct occasional security searches which may include searching your bag before entering the auditorium.
• Your ticket can only be refunded in the event that the performance is cancelled.
• In the event of a cancelled performance, or a performance that must be abandoned part way through, we will not be liable for additional expenses incurred such as for travel or accommodation.
• Reselling your ticket for profit or commercial gain makes it void.
• We reserve the right to make alterations to the advertised details for the performance at short notice (for example cast changes). In these instances, the University of Lincoln is not obliged to refund the ticket or exchange it for another performance.
• On rare occasions the performance or public areas may be filmed, sound recorded or photographed. Buying a ticket affirms your consent to the filming, sound recording and/or photography of yourself as a member of the audience and possible subsequent broadcasts/publication.
• We cannot be held responsible for the loss or damage to your personal property whilst at the venue.
• The unauthorised use of cameras, videos or any other sort of audio or visual recording equipment is strictly forbidden in the auditorium.
