Limitations of our liability

Our liability to you and certain third parties is limited under the Terms and Conditions.  These limitations of liability generally apply where the Loss or liability:

• is caused by any delay encountered at entry to an Event, as a result of us or the venue manager making enquiries into the validity of a ticket or any other admission-related matters;

• is suffered or incurred by you or a third party in connection with your attendance or non-attendance at an Event, including if the Event is cancelled, rescheduled or relocated.

To the maximum extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), we will not be liable for any Loss, damage, expense or injury to the extent arising from your wilful, reckless or negligent acts or omissions, any pre-existing medical condition, your breach of these Terms and Conditions, the cancellation of your tickets due to your breach of these Terms and Conditions, or your reliance on reviews and opinions about Events and performers.

Under the Australian Consumer Law (and similar legislation of Australian states and territories including the application of the Australian Consumer Law), certain statutory guarantees are conferred in relation to the supply of goods or services to a Consumer (Consumer Guarantees).  The operation of the Consumer Guarantees cannot be, and are not in these Terms and Conditions, excluded, restricted or modified.

You agree to compensate us for any damage, loss, liability or injury we may suffer as a result of your wilful, reckless or negligent acts or omissions at an Event.
