Refunds, exchanges and replacements

  1. RHSV will only offer a refund or exchange of a ticket if an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated (and you cannot or do not wish to attend the rescheduled or relocated event), or to the extent otherwise required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law). You must apply for a refund within a reasonable time. RHSV does not offer refunds or exchanges as a result of a change in your personal circumstances.

  3. RHSV will only replace lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets if the authenticity of the ticket can be verified, including proof of purchase, and if you give reasonable notice before the event. RHSV may not replace tickets where seating is unallocated (general admission tickets).
  4. You should carefully consider the refund and cancellation policies of travel, accommodation and other goods or service providers when making arrangements for attendance at an event. You may also wish to consider taking out a relevant insurance policy to cover for any losses in the event of cancellation, rescheduling or relocation.

Variations to performances or events

Conditions of entry

Admission to an event is subject to the following terms.

  1. You may be denied entry into, or removed from, an event where the RHSV has reasonable grounds to do so, including if you breach these Terms and Conditions, or you are intoxicated, under the influence of illicit drugs, inappropriately attired or adversely affecting the enjoyment of the event by others.
  2. If you arrive late, you may not be admitted until a suitable break in the event.

  4. You may be required to submit to a search of your person and/or possessions before entering the event.

Authenticity and validity of tickets

Resale of tickets & scalping

  1. Tickets may not, without the prior written consent of RHSV, be resold or offered for resale at a premium (including via on-line auction or other unauthorised resale sites) or used for advertising, promotion or other commercial purposes (including competitions and trade promotions) or to enhance the demand for other goods or services. If a ticket is sold or used in breach of this condition, the ticket may be cancelled without a refund and the ticketholder of the ticket may be refused admission. RHSV will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such action.

SCALPING WARNING: The resale of tickets in certain circumstances is governed by ticket sales legislation and may attract criminal penalties.

Collection and delivery of tickets

This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information. Ticket limits apply to ensure fair access to tickets, and as a measure to minimise ticket scalping.

System Errors
