Terms and Conditions

Standard Terms and Conditions for sale of entertainment tickets

1. Nature of these Terms and Conditions

1.1 These Terms and Conditions are the “Terms and Conditions” referred to in the Ticket(s) issued to the ticket holder (“you”) by VISIONAIRS ASIA HK Ltd (“we”) or to anyone who in our reasonable opinion is acting on your behalf with your authority or permission, for the admission to the performance of the Event at the Venue held on the Date and Time presented by the Event Partner(s).

1.2 For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions,

‘Event’ means an entertainment event including, without limitation, all type of exhibition, event to be held at the Venue in respect of which we have the right to sell you the Tickets.

‘Promoter’ means the person, business or company staging the Event if different from us.

‘Working Day’ means Monday to Sunday, and Public Holidays.

1.3 Full descriptions and details of the Event, Venue, Date and Time, Event Partners are printed on the Ticket(s) issued to you. Tickets can be printed, electronic or other type of evidence (including a wristband) of the right to occupy space at or to attend an Event sold by us to you on behalf of the Event Partner(s).

1.4 Your purchase of Ticket(s) is subject to these Terms and Conditions, and other terms, conditions and regulations of the Event Partner(s) or the Venue. All such terms and conditions are printed or referred to in the Ticket(s), which together with the full descriptions and details as mentioned in Paragraph 1.3 constitute the entire Contract between you and us for the purchase of the Tickets and supersede any previous terms and conditions, agreement or arrangement between us. You have not entered into the Contract in reliance on, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, covenant, warranty, undertaking or indemnity (whether negligently or innocently) made by us other than as expressly set out in the Contract.

1.5 In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the requirements of the Promoter set out in the Contract, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

2. Purchase of Tickets

2.1 Subject to payment card verification and security checks, your Tickets are valid as soon as we have processed your payment and will expire immediately after the visit of the Event for which you purchased Tickets. Tickets will be cancelled if your payment has not passed the verification processes.

2.2 All Tickets are sold subject to availability and to these Terms and Conditions. You must read these Terms and Conditions carefully and raise with us any queries relating to them prior to purchase, as purchase of Ticket(s) constitutes your agreement of these Terms and Conditions. A valid Ticket must be produced to get into an Event. You must notify us of any access requirements at the time of booking. Removing any part of, altering or defacing the Ticket may invalidate your Ticket.

2.3 It is your responsibility to check your Ticket(s) as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase. You must check your Ticket(s) on receipt carefully and contact us immediately if there is a mistake.

2.4 Ticket(s) may be restricted to a maximum number or sold subject to certain restrictions on entry or use, such as restricted, obstructed or side view or a minimum age for entry. Any such restriction shall be displayed on our website or otherwise notified to you before or at the time you book the Ticket(s). It is your responsibility to ensure that you read all notifications displayed on our website. We reserve the right to cancel Ticket(s) purchased in excess of the maximum number, without prior notice unless the purchase of Ticket(s) in excess was due to our error, in which case we will notify you prior to cancelling your Ticket(s).

2.5 We will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. We only accept responsibility for Tickets bought from our own managed sales points. Any queries regarding Tickets purchased from ticket agents must be directed back to the relevant ticket agent.

2.6 It is not always possible to issue duplicate Ticket(s). For example for non-seated events where there is a possibility of both the original and duplicate ticket(s) being used, compromising the licensed capacity of the Venue. Duplicates may therefore be issued at our discretion or that of the Promoter acting reasonably.

2.7 You agree not to obtain or attempt to obtain any Ticket(s) through unauthorised use of any robot, website or other automated device or any other illegal or unauthorised activity. We reserve the right to cancel any Ticket which we reasonably suspect to have been made in breach of these Terms and Conditions without any notice to you. Any and all Ticket(s) purchased as part of such transaction will be void.

3. Price and Payment

3.1 The price of the Ticket shall be the price set at the time we accept your purchase order and printed on the Ticket, but exclusive of any delivery fee.

3.2 No purchase order will be accepted until we have received full payment in cleared funds. We reserve the right to cancel any booking which we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently.

3.3 All concessions and discounts are subject to availability, they may be restricted to certain price levels and performances and can be withdrawn by us without notice.

3.4 Only one concession or discount is available per Ticket bunddle.

3.5 Where a concession is claimed, proof of identity and concession entitlement (for example of age or student status) may be required.

3.6 If the amount you pay for a Ticket is incorrect regardless of whether because of an error in a price posted on the Venue or otherwise communicated to you, or you are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or pre-sale date or you are able to order a Ticket that was not supposed to have been released for sale, then we will have the right to cancel that Ticket (or the purchase order for that Ticket) and refund to you the amount that we received. This will apply regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction of our website or our other operated system.

4. Delivery

4.1 If you select “Electronic ticket”, your Ticket(s) will be delivered as an e-ticket to the email address provided when you ordered the Ticket(s). Your e-ticket must be clearly printed to scale on plain A4, clean, white paper. Problems with printing will not be our responsibility or the responsibility of the Venue. Unauthorised duplication of your e-ticket may prevent your admittance to the Event. We are not responsible for any inconvenience caused by unauthorised duplication. If unauthorised duplicates appear, we reserve the right to refuse entry to all Ticket holders and may credit the original purchaser the face value, which will constitute a full refund. A hard copy duplicate Ticket issued by us, will render the original e-ticket null and void. If you do not select “Electronic ticket”, your Ticket(s) will be delivered in accordance with Clauses 4.2 to 4.7.

4.2 Ticket(s) will only be delivered to the billing address of the debit/credit card holder unless we specifically offer you the facility for Ticket(s) to be sent to an alternative address. Delivery is entirely at your own risk.

4.3 Ticket(s) will arrive no later than 5 Working Days before the date of the performance. If your Ticket(s) are not being held at the Venue ticket office, and you have not received your Ticket(s) from us 5 Working Days prior to the Event, please contact us.

4.4 If Ticket(s) dispatched by ordinary post, special delivery or signed for post are returned to us as ‘addressee unknown’, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and make a refund of the Ticket price only.

4.5 We reserve the right to make Ticket(s) available for collection at the Venue ticket office. You will be notified at point of sale, by telephone, by email or in writing of the arrangements for collection (using the details provided at the time of ordering) if this becomes necessary.

4.6 Where there is not enough time to deliver Ticket(s) by post, we will inform you about the arrangements for collection of your Ticket(s).

4.7 If you are collecting your Ticket(s) from the Venue ticket office, you must have an acknowledgement of purchase order sent by us to you, and the credit/debit card used by you to purchase Ticket(s). You may also be required to present your photo identification document.

5. Changes to Event

5.1 The Event Partner(s) reserve the right to make alterations to the published Event programme where reasonably necessary. Where such alteration is a material change (as described in Clause 7), you will be entitled to claim a refund in accordance with Clause 7.

5.2 In the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as a typhoon due to nature forces, which necessitate the closure of the event for safety reasons, we and the event partner(s) reserve the right to provide alternative hours at the event to those specified on the ticket(s).

6. Cancelled/Re-scheduled Events

6.1 It is your responsibility to ascertain whether an Event has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Event. Where an Event is cancelled or re-scheduled, we will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you using the details you provided us with at the time of ordering. We do not guarantee that you will be informed of such cancellation or re-scheduling before the Date of the Event.

6.2 It is your responsibility to inform us of any change to your contact address, telephone number or email address you provided us with at the time of ordering.

7.1 Except where we offer an applicable Ticket exchange facility, Ticket(s) cannot be exchanged, cancelled or refunded after purchase unless the performance is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to Clause 6) or where there is a material change to the programme or Event.

7.2 Where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled (subject to Clause 6 and this Clause) by the Venue manager or the Promoter, where an Event is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances beyond our control, or where there is a material change to the programme of the Event, you will be entitled to claim a refund from us in accordance with this Clause.

7.3 A 'material' change to the programme of the Event is a change which, in our reasonable opinion, makes the Event materially different to the Event that purchasers of the Tickets, taken generally, could reasonably expect. The use of understudies in a theatre performance shall not be a material change.

7.4 Where an outdoor Event is cancelled or curtailed because of adverse weather, we shall not be liable to make any refund or pay any compensation beyond the refund that may be payable under the rules of the Event Partner(s) or the Venue.

7.5 Where such a refund is sought due to producer cancellation, rescheduling or a material change to the programme of the Event, you must bring this to our attention as soon as possible upon becoming aware of such material change, cancellation or where the Event has been rescheduled, prior to the rescheduled Event. The refund for Ticket(s) equals the price received by us for such Ticket.

7.6 Refunds shall only be made to the original person in our records who purchased the Tickets and, when possible, be made using the same method in our records as was used to purchase the Tickets except, at our discretion, where payment was made by cash or Octopus card.

8. Limitation of Liability

Unless otherwise stated in this Clause, our liability and that of the Event Partner(s) to you in connection with the Event (including, but not limited to, in the event of cancellation, rescheduling or material change to the programme of the Event) shall be limited to the Ticket price received by us. Delivery fee is non-refundable.

8.2 Neither we nor the Venue nor the Event Partner(s) will be responsible for any loss, injury or damage to any person (including you) or property howsoever caused (including by us, by the Venue and/or by Event Partner(s)) except if any such injury or death is caused by the negligence by us, the Venue and/or the Event Partner(s) and to the extent that any increase in any loss or damage results from your breach of these Terms and Conditions and/or any terms and conditions of the Venue or the Event Partner(s). To the extent permitted under applicable law, under no circumstances shall we, the Venue or the Event Partners be liable under any tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable principles for economic loss, business, goodwill, (whether direct or indirect), indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary loss or punitive damages, each of which is excluded by your agreement regardless of whether such losses and/or damages were foreseeable or you had been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, other than the refund obligations under Clause 8.1, our aggregate liability, including for claims, expenses, damages or indemnity obligations under or in connection with the Contract or the performance of the Event shall not exceed three times of the price of the Tickets received by us.

8.3 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions seeks to exclude or limit our or the Event Partner(s)’ liability for death or personal injury caused by us or the Event Partner(s)’ negligence, fraud or other type of liability which cannot by law be excluded or limited.
