Ticketing
I am no longer able to attend an event, or bought a ticket in error. Can I get a refund?
Once purchased, tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged, refunded or returned unless the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the event are significantly changed. In the event of the cancellation of an event we will only refund the face value of the ticket. We will use best endeavours to contact purchasers either by phone, email or in writing (using the details provided at the time of ordering) to advise of the refund.
Why do I need to pay a box office fee?
Our goal is to provide an excellent personal service to our customers and to do this requires a lot of resource. The booking fee we levy contributes to the cost of running the Quay Arts Centre, its Box Office and Box Office systems. As a charitable not for profit organisation all income is used to support the delivery of arts and cultural activities to our local community. This fee applies to tickets for events bought in advance and on the door.
Do I need to print my ticket?
Quay Arts encourages customer not to print tickets - preferring e-tickets to be shown on a mobile device.
