Refunds & Exchanges/Cancellation & Postponement:

• After you have purchased a Ticket it can only be cancelled and refunded if we are able to resell.

• Events are subject to cancellation or postponement for a variety of reasons. If an Event is cancelled or postponed we will try to contact you to let you know about the refund or exchange procedures for that Event. However, it is your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any Event or any rescheduled Event.

• You will be entitled to a full refund including booking fees if an Event is cancelled and is not rescheduled, or you are unable to attend the rescheduled Event. Please see the exception in section 8; or there is a “material” change to an Event, as explained in the section below.

• If a cancelled Event is rescheduled, you may be offered a Ticket up to the same face value or in the same location as the one you purchased for the original Event. In the event of an event being rescheduled, and IC Travel deem there be sufficient persons to run the rearranged trip, those persons unable to make the revised date will only receive a refund of the transport cost should their ticket be resold.

• If an Event was due to take place over several days and only part of the entire Event is cancelled, you may only be entitled to a partial refund, corresponding to the number of day(s) cancelled as a proportion of the overall Event.

• If an outdoor Event is cancelled in whole or in part or finishes early due to adverse weather, no refund will be available unless specifically permitted under the Event Terms.

• A “material” change is a change to an Event which in the reasonable opinion of IC Travel or the ticket supplier, makes the Event materially different to the Event which purchasers of the Ticket could reasonably expect. Changes to performance times, supporting acts and the use of understudies in a theatre performance will not be a material change.
