Terms & Conditions

Last updated 01/12/2022

Tickets are issued subject to the Rules and Regulations of the venue, event organiser and promoter , as well as Brighton Fringe Ltd. Purchase of any ticket(s), constitutes acceptance of these. Full details are available on request.

1. Please check your Ticket immediately after purchase as mistakes cannot always be rectified.
2. Covid-19 Refund Policy: If an event needs to be abandoned due to a suspected case of COVID-19 in the audience, or cast and crew, we will offer retrospective ticket refunds where applicable. It is at the discretion of venue managers and companies to refuse a customer admission if they display suspected Covid-19 symptoms (such as a high temperature taken at the venue). Brighton Fringe will offer refunds on a case-by-case basis, once notified by the venue or company, or by a customer and confirmed by the venue or company. In no other case will retrospective ticket refunds be considered.
3. The handling charge or booking fee for purchasing tickets is a service fee for use of the Brighton Fringe Box Office and cannot be refunded in any circumstance, except at the sole discretion of Brighton Fringe Ltd.
4. Tickets can only be exchanged after purchase at the discretion of Brighton Fringe Box Office and will incur an administration charge for doing so. Tickets cannot be exchanged less than 48 hours before a performance. We regret that the administration charge for this service cannot be refunded, even in the event of cancellation.
5. All tickets issued will be e-tickets, sent to the email provided when purchasing tickets. You can also access your tickets in the account area of our website or app.

Proof of status must be supplied at the point of purchase and/or collecting of tickets, and eligibility for Concession price is at the sole discretion of Brighton Fringe Ltd. Brighton Fringe Ltd and the event promoter/organiser reserve the right to refuse admittance or charge the difference in price if valid proof of status is not shown on demand.
8. Brighton Fringe Box Office will offer, where possible, one complimentary ‘Personal Assistant ticket’ for the companion of customers who require assistance to attend an event when a ticket has been purchased for the customer requiring assistance. Brighton Fringe Ltd will be able to do so only where authorisation has been given by the event promoter/organiser. Brighton Fringe Ltd encourages all event promoters/organisers to provide this ticket offer but cannot enforce this offer if an event promoter/organiser does not consent. ‘Personal Assistant tickets cannot be purchased individually.
9. It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ascertain whether an event has been cancelled and the date and time of any rearranged event.

Please note that we cannot guarantee those ticket holders will be informed of such cancellation in advance of an event.
10. Tickets are sold subject to the management’s right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its control without being obliged to refund monies or exchange tickets.
