Tickets

All Tickets are sold subject to availability and to these terms.

It is your responsibility to check your Tickets when you receive them as if you have made a mistake it cannot always be rectified after purchase.

Please check your Tickets on receipt carefully and contact us immediately by emailing us at [email protected].

A valid Ticket must be produced for entry to an Event. Removing any part of, altering or defacing the Ticket may invalidate your Ticket. We will accept tickets as a printed copy or on your mobile phone.

The password for online access to Yarndale@Home2022  is valid for one device per ticket holder only.

Placing an order and price and payment

The contract for the purchase of any Ticket will be between you and the Organiser. These contracts will only be formed when the Organiser has received payment in full for the Ticket(s). Until such time there is no contract between you and the Organiser for the Ticket(s) or related services. The Organiser reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any order it receives.

The price of any Ticket will be as quoted on this site at the time we accept your order, except in the case of obvious error. This price will include VAT where applicable but is exclusive of any booking fee and collection or delivery fee which will be indicated to you during the order process (including on the breakdown of costs on the order page and confirmation of order page). Prices are subject to change at any time.

We use our best efforts to ensure that the prices of Ticket(s) displayed on our site are correct. If an error or inaccuracy is discovered and we have not yet taken payment we will normally reject your order for Tickets and notify you of such rejection. You will then be able to order the Tickets at the correct price if you wish (subject to availability).

We are under no obligation to provide the Ticket(s) to you at the incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a pricing mistake. We reserve the right to withdraw from any contract in the case of obvious and unmistakable pricing errors.

Payment for all Tickets must be made by a valid credit or debit card. By providing the details of a credit or debit card, you confirm that you are authorised to purchase the Tickets and that you are the holder of the relevant credit or debit card or are expressly authorised to use this to purchase the Tickets. We recommend that you use a payment card which is within date up to the date of the event for which you are purchasing tickets.

We use a third party payment provider (PayPal) to assist us to process payment.

We reserve the right to cancel bookings which we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently.

Delivery

All Tickets are emailed to you following your purchase.

If you have not received your Tickets within 24 hours following your purchase please check your SPAM / Junk email folder and if they are not there, please contact us by emailing us at [email protected].

Concessions

To ensure that the festival is available to all the Organisers offer disabled ticket holders, subject to availability, a free ticket for a Carer. This offer is open to those who hold a current higher rate of DLA, or other UK government approved supporting evidence of their requirement for a Carer. Carer tickets can only be issued against a standard adult entrance ticket.

Please note that this offer is only available to those people that would be unable to attend the festival without a full-time assistance. Every application is assessed on an individual basis and if anyone is found to be making a fraudulent application, we reserve the right to cancel both the original ticket and the carer ticket, before and during the event.

Changes to Event and cancelled/re-scheduled Events

The Organiser reserves the right to make alterations to the published Workshop programme where reasonably necessary.

It is your responsibility to ascertain whether a Workshop has been cancelled or re-scheduled and the date and time of any re-scheduled Workshop.

Where a Workshop is cancelled or re-scheduled, we will use our reasonable endeavours to notify you using the details you provided us at the time of ordering. We cannot guarantee that you will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the Event.

Refunds/exchanges

After you have purchased a Ticket it cannot be exchanged or refunded.

Where an Event is cancelled by the Organiser (for example where instructed by the government due to COVID19 reasons) Ticket Holders will be contacted via email detailing how to request a refund or transfer tickets over to Yarndale 2024.

The refund for Tickets will be for the face value of the Tickets purchased only and excludes any booking fee.

In order to claim your refund, please ensure that you apply by the date stipulated on the cancellation information which will be sent to you by email. 

In any instance refunds shall only be made to the person who purchased the Tickets and will be made using the same method (i.e. the same credit / debit card) used to purchase the Tickets. Our system will only allow refunds to the exact same card, so please check your payment method before making a purchase.

These terms do not and shall not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. For further information about your statutory rights you can contact Citizens Advice, Consumer Direct or the Department for Business Innovation and Skills.

Resale/use of Tickets

Tickets are only for your personal use or that of your party / guest. We reserve the right to cancel any Tickets if you resell or attempt to resell such Tickets in breach of this section (including any resale or attempted resale of Tickets at a higher price than the purchase price, for example tickets being resold at a higher price via any internet auction site). The holder of a resold Ticket may be refused entry or ejected from the Venue.

You may not, without the prior consent of the relevant Ticket Provider use any Ticket in advertising, promotions, competitions, free draws etc.

Void Tickets

Any Ticket obtained in breach of these terms shall be void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Ticket shall be void. Any person seeking to use such a void Ticket in order to gain or provide entry to the Event may be considered to be a trespasser and may be liable to be ejected and subject to legal action. Void Tickets are non-refundable.

Conditions of Admission

You must comply with the instructions, code of conduct and directions given by Organiser and Event staff and stewards and with all relevant laws, safety announcements and event regulations whilst attending the Event.

The Organiser reserves the right to refuse Ticket holders admission to the Event in reasonable circumstances including for health and safety, licensing reasons or where a Ticket is void.

The Organiser also reserves the right to request that Ticket holders leave the Event at any point on reasonable grounds and may take any appropriate action to enforce this right. By way of example, the Organiser may remove a Ticket holder who:

has behaved in the Event in a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of the Venue has, or is likely to affect the enjoyment of other visitors; or

uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or in any way provokes or behaves in a manner which may provoke a disturbance; or

No refunds will be given to Ticket holders who are refused entry or ejected due to their own behaviour.

The use of equipment for recording or transmitting any audio, visual or audio-visual material or any information or data for commercial or business use inside the Event is strictly forbidden. Unauthorised recordings, tapes, films or similar items may be confiscated and destroyed. The Organiser will not be liable for any loss, theft or damage to confiscated items.

Ticket holders entering the Event may be filmed, photographed and/or recorded for broadcast, event promotion or security purposes. The Organiser may use such films and recordings without payment and without further notice.

Ticket holders shall not bring into the Venue or display or distribute at the Event any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials without prior agreement from the Organisers.

Privacy Policy

The Organiser is committed to ensuring your privacy is protected. This section explains how we use the information we collect about you on our tickets site and the procedures we have in place to safeguard your privacy. By submitting your information and using this site, you consent to the collection, storage and processing of your personal information by us in the manner set out in this privacy policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page so that you are aware of them. We advise you to check this page regularly.

If you purchase a Ticket you will be asked to provide personal information (such as name, address, email address and telephone number etc) and financial information. We use this information to fulfil your order and notify you of the status of your order and process your order (for example to verify financial details provided, to despatch tickets and to contact you regarding an Event if necessary). We will provide this personal information to third parties used to operate the Tickets service (for example payment processing companies) and will require that they only use the data as strictly necessary to provide the Tickets service. In assessing your order for Tickets we may also provide your information to third parties to help to ensure that your payment details are not being used without your consent and to assist in the detection and prevention of fraud.

If you consent to us doing so (eg by way of tick box in the purchase process) we may send you marketing messages using the details that you provided upon registration. You can unsubscribe from receiving marketing messages by clicking on the unsubscribe link in any such message or by contacting us here.

We monitor customer traffic on an aggregate basis in order to help us develop and improve our site for the benefit of our customers. We may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third party vendors and relevant affiliate partners, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying information.

We may disclose personal information where we believe in good faith that this release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law.

We do not without your consent (eg by way of tick box in the purchase process) provide personal data we have collected to third parties for marketing purposes.

The processing of credit & debit cards is undertaken by PayPal  on behalf of the Organiser, through a secure hosted connection. No card data is stored by the Organiser for these purposes & customer details are only used to send the tickets to the purchaser.

The Organiser has implemented technology and security features to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorised access or improper use. We employ Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software to secure your personal data and payment information. This is to prevent unauthorised access or unlawful processing of your personal information. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. Whilst we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Because the internet infrastructure is global, and it is not possible to predict the routes that information sent over the internet will take, the information you provide may be transferred temporarily via a route which takes it outside the European Economic Area as it passes between you and us. Territories outside of the EEA do not always have strong data protection laws. By submitting your information to this site you consent to this transfer.

A cookie is a unique identifier that tells a site when a computer that has previously visited the site returns and what pages it requests on each of its visits.
