Prices for Tickets may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order for which we have received payment in full in cleared funds and we have confirmed with a Confirmation Email.

If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
