In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the relevant authorised ticket agent, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

B. Tickets, Times, Refunds and Cancellation

1. Only customers holding a valid Ticket will be admitted to the Event. There are a limited number of Tickets (and different types of Tickets) available for each Event, and therefore purchase of Tickets is strictly subject to availability.
2. You must retain this Ticket on Your person at all times during the Event.
3. Upon purchase, please check Tickets carefully as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase. Tickets are not issued on a sale or return basis and refunds will not be made on returned Tickets unless provided for under these Terms and Conditions.

5. Price and availability information is subject to change without notice.
6. Tickets are barcoded and each barcode is unique and only allows entry to the Event as per the session(s) purchased. Each ticket will be coded to ensure the relevant number of permitted entries only.
7. Ownership or possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on You to use, alter, copy, or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trademarks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.
8. Tickets are personal revocable licences and shall at all times remain the property of the Promoter and subject to these Terms and Conditions. You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket for commercial gain. If a Ticket is re-sold, transferred or advertised for profit or commercial gain or used for competitions, promotions or hospitality packages by anyone other than the Promoter, or an authorised sub-agent, it will be void and You will be refused entry to, or ejected from, the Venue without refund.
9. Tickets are sold subject to the Promoter’s right to alter or vary the published Event programme which may result in changes to the brewery, food traders, or performance line-up, playing times or any other aspect of the Event. The Promoter reserves all rights in this regard. Any published start and finish times of a performance at the Event are estimates only and are subject to change. The Promoter shall not be liable for any change of a published start or finish time.

11. Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the Event is cancelled (other than cancelled for COVID-19 enforced restrictions, whereby tickets are transferred for future years and other We Are Beer events – Please read our COVID Safety statement and FAQs) or there has been a material change of the Event. A ‘material’ change is a change which, in our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Ticket, taken generally, could reasonably expect. A material alteration is judged, in our absolute discretion, by reference to the nature and billing of each Event. The Event is judged, in our absolute discretion, by reference to the overall theme rather than the individual brewery, food trader, or act scheduled to appear.
    1. Due to COVID-19 material changes for refunds do not include event postponement. Please read our COVID Safety Statement and FAQs
12. Refunds should be obtained from the point of purchase, no later than 3 months after the Event.

The total refund for a Ticket shall be the face value of the Ticket purchased. Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence and accommodation in relation to the Event which have been arranged by You are made at Your own risk and neither the authorised ticket agent nor the Promoter will have any liability for any such loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure in addition to refunding the face value of the Ticket.
14. No refunds or compensation will be considered for any reason other than as set out in clause 11.
15. Refunds will only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets.
16. It is Your responsibility to check that the Event has not been cancelled or made the subject of a Material alteration. Information on such matters will be made available on behalf of the Promoter as soon as reasonably practicable on the Promoter’s and/or Venue’s website and/or at the Venue. Customers are advised that the website cannot always be updated immediately and that circumstances giving rise to cancellation or Material alterations can sometimes arise immediately prior to an Event.

18. Tickets are not transferrable and cannot be exchanged.

If You do encounter problems contact Your credit card issuer as soon as possible, also contact Your local trading standards office, and, if You believe a criminal offence has taken place, the police. Please note that touting of tickets for music events or sale of tickets for music events on the secondary market is not currently a criminal offence in England and Wales but if You are not sure whether a criminal offence has taken place then ask advice first from Your card issuer and local trading standards office.

Should this happen You may find that the purchaser brings a legal claim against You for selling a Ticket which does not permit access to the Event.

These restrictions will be notified to You by our ticket agents and on our website before You make Your booking.
