Special Circumstances

  1. Where possible we will exchange your tickets for another performance of the same show at the same price of ticket subject to availability provided that you give us seven working days’ notice prior to the date of the Performance of your wish to exchange tickets. Please telephone 02380 711811 or e-mail tickets@mayflower.org.uk to arrange an exchange. Handling charges of £2.50 per ticket will be payable for exchanges.

  6. Children under two years old will not be admitted to the Performance unless it is defined on our website or our Official Advertisements as ‘under 2s welcome’ in which case a ticket will need to be booked for every child, including babes in arms. For health and safety reasons all customers must have a ticket including babes in arms which is a free ticket and these need to be booked over the phone or in person.
2. In relation to tickets sold by us for events whereby we are acting as an agent for a third party who will be the promoter or the venue at which the event is held ('the Third Party') (please check details provided on our website or our Official Advertisements in relation to the listed promoter or venue of the relevant performance):
  1. The placing of an order by you, by whichever means, will constitute your consent to our passing on such details to the third party to fulfil your booking; and
  2. Your tickets will inform you on whose behalf we are acting as agent and with whom your contract is made.
  3. Such tickets are subject to the terms and conditions of that Third Party, which you are advised to check as they may vary, and, in the particular case of outdoor events, may include restrictions on barbecues, picnics, tents or umbrellas;
  4. You must contact the Third Party to obtain information and arrangements for traffic approaches, parking and for information relating to access for those ticket purchasers/ticket holders who are disabled.

  5. No tickets sold by us acting as agents for a Third Party can be exchanged, refunded or returned except with the express authority of the Third Party;
  6. If, prior to the commencement of the performance, the event is cancelled or postponed to a later date, we will contact you and any refunds will be made by the Third Party only, unless the Third Party makes such monies available to us; the face value of the ticket only will be refunded;
  7. Where the Performance is scheduled to take place out of doors, you should assume (unless notified otherwise) that the Performance will not be cancelled or postponed in the event of inclement weather conditions;
  8. Mayflower Theatre cannot be held responsible for misinformation provided by a Third Party. Complaints should be addressed to the Third Party prior to or during the Performance.
  9. Payment of refunds: In the event of a cancellation refunds will be made using the original payment method. For example, if your ticket was purchased using a debit card then we will refund the money to that same card. If we can’t refund to your original payment method then you may need to provide proof of closure of the original account and then we can refund to a different payment method. If we refund you for a payment made in gift vouchers then the refund will always be in vouchers.
  10. If an event is cancelled, we will notify you by email or phone (using the details you provided us with at the time of ordering).
  11. Where a refund is sought due to cancellation, rescheduling or a significant change to the event, the refund will equal the price paid by you including any inclusive per ticket charges but excluding the transaction or delivery fee and additional items including charitable donations and Ticket Protection.
