We always do our best to ensure you have received your tickets 1 week before the event at the very latest. However occasionally this is not possible due to circumstances beyond our control, such as a delay in the tickets being printed and sent through to us.
If we are unable to post them to you in time, we will make alternative arrangements for you to collect your tickets at the venue.

If you have not received your tickets 1 week before an event, or 2 days before an event where tickets have been booked within 2 weeks of an event, please contact Customer Services.

For events taking place Monday to Friday, the latest you can inform us of non-receipt of tickets is 12 noon on the day of the event. For events on a Saturday or Sunday, please let us know by 12 noon the Friday before. If you do not let us know by this time, we cannot guarantee you will be allowed entry.

Tickets for some performances may be sent out in batches. You should receive your tickets very soon. Alternatively, your friend could have purchased their tickets from a different ticket agent. Sometimes different agents receive their tickets from the promoters of the event at slightly different times. If you have any concerns, please contact Customer Services.

Please contact Customer Services.

Only the first scan of the barcode on your ticket will be allowed entry to the event. If more than one copy were to be scanned, the bar code scanner will alert the door staff that the ticket has already been scanned and any further attempts to gain entry with the same barcode will be refused.

Unlike most things you can order online where the goods are ready and waiting to be sent out, and so can be combined into one package for shipment, depending on the event we might receive tickets from venues or promoters several months or a few weeks before the event takes place, so unfortunately due to the nature of the industry it is not possible to send different tickets out together.

Your order number is the final stage in confirming that your order has completed and uniquely identifies your order should you have a query on it. By quoting this number in any correspondence that you have with Ticketline, we can swiftly trace your order and answer any questions that you may have. You will receive a unique order number for every order that you make with Ticketline, which you will need to retain should a query arise.

Yes. We can send tickets to your postal address provided there is enough time to allow for International delivery. In the event we suspect the tickets will not have time to arrive with you, we will contact you via email to make alternative arrangements.

VIP tickets or corporate hospitality packages are available for certain events. Where we are selling these they will appear as an option during the booking process. Alternatively, such tickets will be advertised on the event's webpage where available.

For some events, the organisers ask you to provide the name of each person attending the event, and each ticket is then specifically assigned to that person.

This can occur when your payment is authorised, but the booking fails to go through. Although we automatically cancel any payment authorisation codes with the bank as soon as a booking fails to complete, it can take up to 2 days for your bank to clear the pending payment.

We accept Visa and Mastercard. We also take Apple Pay and Google Pay where your device supports it.

Your credit card is charged by us as soon as your tickets are purchased, however it can take up to 7 days for the money to be debited from your account. Although tickets may not be sent out to you for some months, the tickets are secured for you as soon as your card is charged.

We partner with Stripe to provide card booking services. Stripe uses best-in-class security practices to maintain a high level of security. All card details are entered directly on Stripe's secure payment site.

After payment is made these details are encrypted and stored by Stripe so that you can easily use them again. You can store more than one card number to give you more flexibility when booking.

We do not store any of your card information on our servers or in our offices. All card information is stored by Stripe at their secure data centre.

We do not get paid by the event organiser for selling tickets. Instead we charge a small booking fee per ticket and a processing fee per transaction that has been agreed with the event organiser or venue and is split with them.
This is the only income that we receive from our service. Ticketline's share of this booking fee, after being subject to VAT, covers all the costs associated with running our business, including paying our wonderful staff, upkeep of our booking systems, card processing fees and all other costs that enable us to provide you with an impeccable service and access to life changing experiences.
We try to keep the booking fee as low as possible to provide you with your tickets at the best value. Sometimes the booking fee will include a Facility Fee that is charged by certain venues. This is collected by us on behalf of the venue and is usually used for upkeep or towards renovation of a venue. We do not retain any of this fee.

The fee that we charge per transaction, regardless of the number of tickets in the order, covers the cost of printing, posting and packaging physical tickets where applicable.
Alternatively, if you choose to receive e-tickets the fee goes towards the installation, maintenance and upkeep of our software, digital scanners and gate entry systems enabling you to gain seamless access to your chosen event.

Our system conducts address checks on every single purchase made verifying that the billing address matches the registered bank account address. We also monitor ticket buying behaviour and flag anything suspicious, preventing touting.
We are a member of Visa and MasterCard's 3D secure payments scheme where the customer may be asked to verify their identity directly with their bank as part of the online order process.

Ticketline Gift Cards are available in denominations of £10, £25, £50 and £100. Click here for more information or to order a gift card.

When an event is cancelled, we will do our best to inform you as soon as possible after we are notified by the event organisers. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the event for which you have booked is taking place on the date scheduled.
If we require return of your tickets, we will contact you with details of what to do. We will refund the face value of any tickets you have ordered, once authorised by the event organizer, however the booking fee and transaction fee are non-refundable. This is due to the circumstances being beyond our control.
Our charges cover the service of providing you with tickets and where necessary keeping you up to date and processing your refund. Where tickets are cancelled it actually involves additional work and card processing costs which we do not seek to redeem.

When an event is rescheduled, we will do our best to inform you as soon as possible after we are notified by the event organisers. Your tickets will remain valid for the new date unless we advise you differently. It is your responsibility to ensure that the event for which you have booked is taking place on the date it was scheduled for when you booked.

If you are unable to attend, you can request a face value refund of the tickets by contacting Customer Services a week before the new date or 1 week after you have been notified of the change, whichever is the earlier.

When an event has been cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances outside of our control, we will refund the face value of tickets if authorised by the event organizer, but not the booking or processing fees.
We understand that this can be frustrating for you. However, the booking fees cover our charges for providing you with a service to get your tickets and where applicable informing you of changes to an event, refunding of the ticket price or authorising your ticket for a rescheduled performance.
When an event is cancelled or rescheduled we actually have to do a lot more work and incur further card processing fees for which we get no additional income.

Ticketplan is an additional third party service that protects you against cancellation resulting from accidents and unexpected illnesses. Booking refund protection is an optional service that We offer administered by Ticketplan. It is not an insurance policy. Full details are included in the TicketPlan terms and conditions.

Tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged after you have completed a purchase except for in the following circumstances:

• If we fail to fulfil an order as a result of any negligence, or similar act or omission of our own or in breach of contract. In these circumstances you will be entitled to a full refund including any booking fee charged.
• If an event is cancelled, rescheduled or there are significant changes to the event, namely a change of the headline act or venue and you no longer wish to attend the event, we will refund the face value of the ticket(s) to the card that was used to pay for them, once we have been authorised to do so by the event organiser.

For rescheduled or materially altered events we may ask you to return the tickets before we can process a refund. Where this is the case, it is your responsibility to ensure that we receive any tickets that you return so we recommend that all tickets that need to be returned are sent by secure post to:

Ticketline,
PO Box 4061,
Manchester
