Terms and Conditions
By accessing this site you accept and agree to the following terms:
Tickets
PLATINUM CARDS:
General Terms and conditions
Admission to Market place and Cooler events is guaranteed before 11pm (subject to advance registration where applicable)
Due to very limited capacity, admission to events in the Graduate club is on a first come first serve basis.
You must bring your Warwick card and Platinum card to every event you wish to attend
Readmission is not allowed once you have attended an event
You are still subject to the Students’ Union’s event admission procedures and can be refused entry if you breach these.
Your card is not transferable
Lost cards can be replaced at a fee of £15
The Platinum card does not allow entry to The Final Fling or The Sports Federation Ball
The Platinum card does not allow entry to society run or promoted events
Every effort will be made to allow priority queuing at all events, however this cannot be guaranteed.
Platinum cards are valid for all Union promoted events
Entry to events under £5
Your card allows unlimited entry into all events which have an Advance price of less than £5. Simply turn up at the door with your Platinum Card and your Warwick Card and you will be admitted.
In the case of events in both the cooler and the Graduate club, capacity is limited and is therefore on a first come first serve basis.
Entry to events £5 and over
Any event with an Advance door price of £5 and over requires pre-registration to guarantee entry. This can be done in one of three easy ways:
1) You will be sent an email each week detailing events over the next month which will require pre-registration. Simply reply to this email with your name, library card number and the event name in the subject line and you will guarantee yourself entry to that event. To ensure your place at these oversubscribed events
YOU MUST REGISTER AT LEAST TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE.
Detail of registration deadlines will be communicated via e mail.
2) Every event with an advance price of £5 or over will have a “platinum card holders” ticket displayed on the SU website alongside the NUS and NON NUS price. Simply
“buy” this free ticket and you will guarantee yourself entry to that event. There will be a link to these online platinum card holders tickets in every email sent out.
3) Pop into the Advance Ticket Outlet in Union South and tell the assistant which events you would like to come to, show them your Warwick Card and they will do the rest!
Please note, registration closes at two weeks prior to the event. You will still be allowed entry into the event if there is spare capacity, but this is not guaranteed.
If you require any further explanation, please do not hesitate to call Advance on 024 765 72794 or pop in to the Outlet in Union South (opposite Cholo)
REFUNDS AND TRANSFERRAL POLICY
REFUNDS:
Refunds are not available on tickets once they have been purchased. However, there are some instances in which a refund may be given:
1. The entire event has been cancelled by us. In this instance, refunds are available to everyone who has purchased a ticket in advance.
2. The event has been pulled whilst in progress. In this instance, a decision will be made by management as to whether refunds will be offered to those with tickets. However refunds will only be given in special circumstances and as approved by management.
3. The main performing artiste has cancelled or the event altered for reasons beyond our control, but the event has still taken place. Again, refunds will only be considered in exceptional circumstances and where authorized.
4. The event has sold out, and there are people waiting for extra tickets. In this instance refunds may be given, and the tickets then resold to people on the waiting list once the re-sale cash has been received .
5. In all instances management decision is final, based on the individual circumstances, and not open to discussions.
THERE ARE NO OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH A REFUND MAY BE OFFERED. If you have a query/problem with this policy, then please ask to speak to the Outlet Supervisor. If you are still not happy with the outcome, then you can write to the CDCO (currently Nicola Warrington) with your complaint atcdco@sunion.warwick.ac.uk
TRANSFERS:
All tickets purchased for UWSU events are non-transferable.
