3. USE OF YOUR BOOKING AND TICKETS

Bookings (including Tickets) are strictly non-transferable and must not be sold or offered, exposed or made available for sale, or transferred or otherwise disposed of, save as in accordance with these Terms. We reserve the right to cancel without refund or compensation any Bookings issued to a Ticket Holder whom We believe plans to offer such Booking for resale otherwise than in accordance with these Terms.

If a Ticket Purchaser makes a Booking for more than one person, the Ticket Purchaser must retain one Ticket for his/her personal use. Any remaining Tickets may only be used by a natural person who is known to the Ticket Purchaser personally (and who did not become known to the Ticket Purchaser through the sale, transfer or disposal of the Ticket) and who is intended to accompany the Ticket Purchaser to the Festival and subject to the following conditions: i) the sale, transfer or disposal of any such Booking must not be for a value greater than the original sale price of the Booking; ii) the Booking must not be offered publicly (including on any website) whether for sale, as a gift or donation or any other means of transfer; and iii) the sale, transfer or disposal must be made strictly subject to these Terms (and the transferee’s acceptance thereof) which shall be binding upon the transferee in full as if the transferee was the Ticket Purchaser, save only that such transferee shall have no right to a refund under these Terms.

Any Booking offered for sale, sold, transferred, used or disposed of in breach of clause 3 of these Conditions may be cancelled and any person seeking to use the Booking may be refused admission to or be evicted from the Festival and/or Venue(s) without refund or compensation.

Tickets will be exchanged for Wristbands at the Festival at the Wristband exchange. If You are using an electronic Ticket, it is Your responsibility to ensure You have a sufficiently powered mobile device enabling You to show Your Ticket. Wristbands are only issued directly to the Ticket Holder on production of photographic ID (driver’s licence or passport). In the event that We suspect (acting reasonably) that the ID presented is not valid or authentic, We reserve the right to request a secondary form of ID. If We are not satisfied that the ID presented is valid or valid or authentic (acting reasonably), We reserve the right to refuse to issue a Wristband without refund or compensation. It is not possible to collect Wristbands on behalf of other people and all Wristbands must be placed and secured on the Ticket Holder’s wrist directly by Us. Your Wristband will be invalidated if any part of it is removed, detached, altered or defaced. Wristbands will not be reissued or replaced regardless of whether You still have Your Ticket.

You must retain their Wristbands at all times whilst at the Festival and/or any Venue and Wristbands must be produced for inspection upon Our request and/or the request of any Authorised Person. Failure to do so may result in the You being ejected from the Festival or any Venue without refund or compensation.

We are not liable for lost, stolen or defaced Tickets or Wristbands. If You lose or damage Your Ticket or Wristband, You will not be able to re-enter the Festival or Venue(s). All Wristbands will be checked when entering and leaving the Festival and Venue(s).

Tickets for Travel Arrangements and/or Extras are separate to Festival Tickets. You will be notified by Us as to how You redeem Your tickets for Travel Arrangements and/or Extras in advance. Your Wristband cannot be used as proof of purchase of or to gain access or entry to any Travel Arrangements or Extras.

Festival Tickets and Tickets for Travel Arrangements and/or Extras are not valid for persons under the age of 18. Persons under the age of 18 will not be permitted entry to the Festival or any Venues and we will not be able to exchange their Ticket for a Wristband. Persons under the age of 18 will not be able to use any Tickets for Travel Arrangements and/or Extras. No refunds or compensation will be given in these circumstances.
