The Company will not be liable for any additional expenses incurred by customers in the event of a cancelled performance.
5. Tickets, including hospitality packages, for all events are non-refundable once purchased.
6. Tickets for long-running productions in LW Theatres venues, purchased at full price, may be exchanged for the equivalent or higher value up to 48 hours prior to the performance, subject to availability. An exchange fee of £3 per ticket will apply. Tickets for one-off concerts or events are non-exchangeable. Please visit our FAQs page to find out more information.
7. Every member of the audience, regardless of age, must be in possession of a valid ticket in order to gain entry to the theatre. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by and sat next to a parent or guardian who is at least 18 years old.

The Company will not tolerate any form of abusive or aggressive behaviour towards its staff.  The Company reserves the right to decline to respond to, or to disengage with, customers who behave in an abusive or aggressive manner in our theatres or who write abusive or aggressive correspondence, messages or comments, including the right to refuse to address refund requests and complaints in such circumstances.
11. If a customer cannot or does not want to attend the production and they cannot or do not want to exchange their tickets, tickets purchased through LW Theatres, can be put up for re-sale through The Company’s official re-sale partner – Twickets; please note this does not include Starlight Express at the Troubadour Theatre.

13. Tickets are not guaranteed to be re-sold.
14. The delivery methods available for tickets from LW Theatres are:
    E-Ticket: this will take the form of a pdf attachment to an email which will contain all the ticket information and QR code that will grant access to the venue. The E-Ticket must be scanned at the venue to gain entry. For paperless entry, it can be scanned from a mobile phone. Customers can also print it out themselves to have a hard copy, should they wish.

If any tickets are resold or transferred (or are attempted to be resold or transferred) for commercial gain by anyone other than official resellers of The Company, then the tickets will become void and the ticket holder will be a trespasser and may be refused entry to, or ejected from, the theatre. In such circumstances, The Company will not be under any obligation to offer a refund and such person may be liable to legal action.
18. If one person buys multiple tickets, the provision by the purchaser of the tickets to their guests will not constitute a breach of the transfer restrictions under these terms and conditions (provided that the provision of tickets to guests is not made for commercial gain). However, the purchaser agrees that by purchasing tickets, they have agreed to these terms and conditions on behalf of themselves and their guests and the purchaser shall at all times be responsible for their guests’ compliance with these terms and conditions.
19. All Lottery, Day Seats, and tickets purchased at a group or promotional rate are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
