Dorchester Tickets – Terms & Conditions


Dorchester Tickets sells tickets on behalf of Dorchester Abbey, other promoters and venues.  In these terms the word “Promoter” includes Dorchester Abbey, other promoters and venues
.

Refunds and Exchanges

  • Before completing your order, carefully review your event and seat selection making sure that you have selected the exact seats you require for the correct show and on the correct date.  Mistakes cannot always be rectified
  • All booking fees & postal charges non-refundable.
  • General practice is that tickets are not exchanged or money refunded. If patrons find that they are unable to use their tickets the Box Office will try to re-sell them at a charge of £1 per ticket (at the patron's risk) on the understanding that the sale of the Promoter's own available seats takes priority.
  • Promoters and venues may have their own refund and exchange policies, please see the relevant promoter or venue website for more details.
  • Tickets that are not mailed are held at the box office for collection before the event.

Cancelled or Postponed Events

Occasionally, events are cancelled or postponed due to circumstances beyond the promoter’s control.  When an event is cancelled Dorchester Tickets will make every effort to ensure you receive a prompt refund of the ticket price if applicable. Booking fees & postal charges are non-refundable.   Where the event is moved or rescheduled, the tickets will be honoured for the rescheduled date.

Booking Fees

Tickets purchased through Dorchester Tickets are subject to a small booking fee. These fees are always non-refundable.

Delivery of Tickets

Tickets will only be posted to a verified billing address.  Orders are processed only after a billing address has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, Dorchester Tickets will make every effort to contact you, using the information provided at the time of purchase. If Dorchester Tickets is unable to reach you after its initial attempt, we may cancel your order and sell your tickets to another customer. If this occurs you will be notified via e-mail.

Standard Mail

If you have selected Royal Mail as your delivery method, please allow at least 14 days after your order is made to receive your tickets. Tickets sent via Royal Mail can be sent only to the verified billing address. If your tickets have not arrived five days before the show or, if you are travelling, five days before you leave, please contact us.  For bookings made 14 days or less before the event you will have a choice of having the tickets posted to you or held for collection.  Dorchester Tickets will not be responsible for any tickets that do not arrive in time if they are posted less than 14 days before the event.  For bookings made 7 days or less before the event the option of posting the tickets is not available and tickets must be collected from the box office (see Box Office Collection below).

Box Office Collection

Tickets can be collected before the performance, typically 30 minutes prior to the performance. Please remember to bring a printed copy of your receipt (which was emailed to you at time of booking) when picking up tickets from the Box Office.  By agreeing to these terms purchasers waive their right to any refund for tickets not picked up from the box office.
