In particular, discounts and special offers may be limited or subject to availability. Accordingly, the price of Tickets for the performance will be the price set out on our website or notified to you (if you order by telephone or in-person) at the time you make your order.

3.2 You must state any discount to which you think you are entitled at the time of ordering your Tickets, as discounts cannot be applied retrospectively.

Proof of identity and/or entitlement to concessionary rates may be requested: (a) at the time of your order; and/or (b) at the time of collection of Tickets; and/or (c) at the performance itself.

6. Refunds, exchanges and re-sales

6.2 Subject strictly to availability, we may permit you to exchange purchased Tickets up to 24 hours before the commencement of the performance for which such Tickets were purchased, for seats for another performance of the same production. Exchanges for seats of a higher price must be accompanied by payment of the outstanding balance. We will charge a £1 handling fee per Ticket to be exchanged and you must produce all of the original Tickets to us before the exchange will be processed. Any Fees charged in connection with your purchase of the original Tickets will also be retained by us.

7. Alterations to advertised cast, programme and arrangements

Tickets are sold subject to our right to alter or vary the advertised cast, programme and arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund will be made in the event of such an alteration or variation.

8. Your responsibilities

8.1 You must provide us with accurate details about you and your order at the time of your order, whether such order is made online, over the telephone or in person. Please check Tickets carefully as errors cannot always be corrected and refunds will not be made other than in accordance with these Conditions.

8.2 We try to ensure that our venues and locations are a safe and happy environment for our customers to enjoy performances and for our staff to work. In order to help us achieve this, whilst attending our venue you will comply with any reasonable instructions issued by our staff.

9.1 We reserve the right to:
(a) conduct security searches to ensure the safety of our customers and staff;
(b) refuse you entry to and or to remove you from our venue locations or any performance in the following circumstances: (i) if you or any of your party behave in a way that will or may adversely impact upon the enjoyment of other people at our venue location or any performance; (ii) if in our opinion, you are acting unreasonably whether as a result of you being under the influence of alcohol or drugs or otherwise; (iii) if you fail to comply with a security search; (iv) for health and safety or security reasons; (v) if you do not produce a valid Ticket for the performance upon request; or (vi) if you fail to comply with, or if you are in breach of, any of these Conditions.
(c) refuse to sell Tickets to and/or provide complimentary Tickets to anyone we believe to be purchasing for the purposes of resale. Unless given express permission by us, Tickets must not be resold or transferred for profit or commercial gain. If you do so, we will render the relevant Tickets void and the holder of the Tickets may be refused entry.

10. Our liability

10.1 Subject always to Conditions 10.2 and 10.3, if we fail to comply with these Conditions, we shall only be liable to you for the price of the Tickets and any direct losses that you suffer as a result of our failure to comply (whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) which are also a foreseeable consequence of such failure. All other liabilities of ours, of any kind whatsoever, are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.2 We will not be liable for any travel or accommodation expenses incurred in any circumstances, including in the event that a performance is cancelled.

11.1 All persons must be in possession of a valid Ticket and proof of identity to gain entry to the relevant performance.

11.2 We will endeavour to seat latecomers at a suitable break in the performance, as judged by our staff. However, please note that this may not be until the first interval. In exceptional circumstances and depending on the performance, we may be unable to admit latecomers at all. Please therefore make every effort to attend performances in plenty of time.

11.3 Due to the site-located nature of many National Theatre Wales productions, we are no able to admit dogs or other animals onto the performance site, other than those who may feature in the production or assistance dogs.

12. Children

12.1 Sales of Tickets which are intended to be used by children under the age of 16 are sold subject to the following “Infants and child Admittance Policy”. Everyone under 16 years of age needs a valid ticket to see National Theatre Wales’ events and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. People aged 2 – 15 are eligible for Under 16 ticket price reductions where available; under 2s (babes-in-arms) require a baby ticket. Please note that National Theatre Wales reserves the right to refuse admittance to babies/toddlers if necessary. Please check age suitability when booking (over the phone or on the relevant web page), as not all events are suitable for all age groups.

12.2 The ratio of children to adults in any party must not exceed 10:1. In the interests of all of our customers, our staff may ask the responsible adult to remove children who are noisy or disruptive.

13. Recordings of visitors to our performances

By purchasing Tickets from us you consent to you and any persons (including any children) who may accompany you being included in such recordings and such recordings subsequently being used by us for any reasonable commercial purposes, including without limitation, for marketing and promotional purposes, and/or being passed onto a third party organisation (e.g. co-producers) for their own use. We will not make any payment to you in respect of your inclusion in such recordings.
