1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
‘Event’ means an entertainment event including, without limitation, a concert, exhibition, sports, theatrical and/or music event to be held at the Sports Club in respect of which We have the right to sell You Tickets.

‘Tickets’ means tickets for an Event sold by Us to You to attend an Event.
‘Venue’ means Fintry Sports & Recreation Club, Ruth Menzies Field, Fintry, G63 0YA.
‘We’ means Fintry Sports & Recreation Club (FSRC). ‘Us’ and ‘Our’ shall be read accordingly.
‘You’ means you or anybody who in Our reasonable opinion is acting with your authority or permission. ‘Your’ shall be read accordingly.

2. TICKETS
All Tickets are sold subject to availability and to these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions should be read carefully prior to purchase and any queries relating to them should be raised with Us prior to purchase, as purchase of Tickets constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. A valid Ticket must be produced to get into an Event. Removing any part of, altering or defacing the Ticket may invalidate Your Ticket. It is Your responsibility to check Your Tickets as if you have made a mistake it cannot always be rectified after purchase. Please check your Tickets on receipt carefully and contact us immediately if there is a mistake. We will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. It is not always possible to issue duplicate tickets. For example, for non-seated events where there is a possibility of both the original and duplicate tickets being used, compromising the licensed capacity of the venue. Duplicates may therefore be issued at Our discretion, acting reasonably. If duplicates are being issued, a reasonable administration charge may be levied. We reserve the right to provide alternative seats at an Event to those specified on the Ticket if the staging of the Event reasonably requires, provided they are of no less value to that stated on the Ticket. Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example of age or student status) may be required.

3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
The price of the Ticket shall be the price set at the time We accept Your order. All prices set are inclusive of any applicable taxes but exclusive of any booking fee and collection or delivery fee. No order will be accepted until We have received full payment.

4. DELIVERY
Tickets will only be delivered to the billing address of the debit/credit cardholder unless We specifically offer You the facility for Tickets to be sent to an alternative address. If Your Tickets are not being held at the Sports Club, and You have not received Your Tickets from Us 72 hours prior to the Event, please contact Us. If Tickets dispatched by Royal Mail ordinary post, special delivery or registered post are returned to Us as ‘addressee unknown’ We reserve the right to cancel Your booking and make a refund of the Ticket price only. We reserve the right to make Tickets available for collection at the Venue. You will be notified by telephone, email or in writing of the arrangements for collection (using the details provided at the time of ordering) if this becomes necessary. Where there is not enough time to deliver Tickets, You will be told at the point of purchase the arrangements for collection of Your tickets. If You are collecting Your Tickets from the Sports Club, You must have Your acknowledgement of order and the credit/debit card used to make the order with You.

5. CHANGES TO EVENT
We reserve the right to make alterations to the published Event programme where reasonably necessary.

6. REFUNDS/EXCHANGES
Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded after purchase unless the performance is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to below) or where there is a material change to the programme of Event. Where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to below) by the Venue or Promoter, where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances beyond Our control, or where there is a material change to the programme of the Event, You will be entitled to claim a refund from Us in accordance with this clause. A ‘material’ change is a change that, in Our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Ticket, taken generally, could reasonably expect. The refund for Tickets equals the face value of the Tickets purchased. Refunds shall only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets and, when possible, be made using the same method as was used to purchase the Tickets except, at Our discretion, where payment was made by cash. These Terms and Conditions do not and shall not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. For further information about your statutory rights contact Citizens Advice, Consumer Direct.

7. LIABILITY
Personal arrangements including travel, accommodation or hospitality relating to the Event that have been arranged by You are at your own risk. Liability for the cancellation or rescheduling of an Event, or for material changes to an Event, will be limited to the refund as set forth in Section 6. We will not be responsible for any loss, theft or damage of Your personal belongings, other than caused as a result of Our negligence or other breach of statutory duty.

8. CANCELLED/RE-SCHEDULED EVENTS
It is Your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event. Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, We will use Our reasonable endeavours to notify You using the details You provided Us with at the time of ordering. We do not guarantee that You will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event. It is Your responsibility to inform Us of any change to the contact address, telephone number or email address You provide Us with at the time of ordering.

9. Resale/use of Tickets and property
You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket if prohibited by law. In addition, re-sales or transfers of Tickets may be prohibited for certain events subject to the specific terms and conditions of those events (for example but not exclusively limited to charity events or events where age restrictions may apply because of content of the entertainment or licensing requirements). Where a Ticket is offered for resale in line with these terms and conditions, you must provide to the buyer full details of the ticket. Full details include, if printed on the ticket, the block or tier, row and seat number. Buyers must also be made aware of these terms and conditions and any other terms and conditions that are specific to the event. You should check whether any special terms apply before offering a free Ticket for resale. Free tickets are often provided for specific reasons limiting their transferability.

10. VOID TICKETS
Any Ticket obtained in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Ticket shall be void. Any person seeking to use such a void Ticket in order to gain or provide entry to an Event may be considered to be a trespasser and may be liable to be ejected and liable to legal action. Void Tickets are non-refundable.

11 RESTRICTIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF TICKETS
Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number. Any such restriction shall be notified to You at the time You book the Tickets. We reserve the right to cancel Tickets purchased in excess of this number and without the Agent’s agreement, without prior notice unless the purchase of an excess was due to Our error.

12. CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION
The Committee of the Sports Club reserves the right to refuse Ticket holders admission to the Venue in reasonable circumstances including for health and safety, licensing reasons or where a Ticket is void. The Committee also reserves the right to request that Ticket holders leave the Venue at any point on reasonable grounds and may take any appropriate action to enforce this right. By way of example, the Committee may remove a Ticket holder who:
1) has behaved in the Sports Club in a manner which, in their reasonable opinion has, or is likely to affect the enjoyment of other visitors; or
2) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or in any way provokes or behaves in a manner which may provoke a breach of the peace; or
3) in their reasonable opinion is acting under the influence of alcohol or drugs; or
4) fails, when required, to produce proof of identity or age.

To this end, We shall use Our reasonable endeavours to consult or negotiate in good faith, and attempt to reach a just and equitable settlement satisfactory to both parties.
