For some events, the printing and postage of tickets is delayed, either at the request of the promoters or due to circumstances beyond our control.
This delay gives us time to run routine checks to ensure all fans get a fair shot at seats, like confirming every buyer is a fan and not a bot and making sure everyone sticks to the ticket limit.
This means that tickets will not be available via any delivery option e.g. postage, outlet collection, or Print-at-Home until the date listed below.
If you have elected for your tickets to be posted, please allow time for your tickets to arrive after this date.
If you haven’t received your ticket and it is within 3 days of your event, please submit an enquiry and we will look into this for you. If you haven’t heard back from us before you leave for your event, please speak to the venue box office at the event for assistance.
