Purchase Terms

Please read these Purchase Terms carefully as they set out the terms on which you purchase a ticket on the SpeedyTix site/mobile/app or via the services, features, content, applications, websites, or widgets offered by SpeedyTix (the “Services”). All purchases for tickets and other goods and services are subject to these Purchase Terms. If you have any questions about them, please contact us at [email protected]. We may change these Purchase Terms from time to time so please check our website at www.SpeedyTix.net from time to time for any updates to ensure that you are aware of the current terms. Your continued use of the Site and App or the Services following any update to these Purchase Terms will constitute your acceptance of those changes. These Purchase Terms incorporate our Terms of Use by this reference.

1. ABOUT US

1.1. We are SpeedyTix Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under number 13976147 and our registered office is at 27 Old Gloucester St, London WC1N 3AX

1.2 We are a disclosed ticketing agent selling tickets via our Site and App and the Services on behalf of promoters, organisers, managers, artists and venues of music, entertainment, sports and similar events (our "Event Partners"). We sell tickets allocated to us by our Event Partners, so the tickets we have available for sale for each event will vary and we do not control the ticket inventory or availability.

2. CONTRACT
2.1 Any ticket purchased or otherwise acquired (“Purchased”) through the Site and App is subject to:
  • These Purchase Terms;
  • Our Terms of Use;
  • Our Privacy Policy; and
  • The Event Terms and Conditions, if applicable;
  • Any additional terms and conditions of the relevant Event Partner(s) which can be found on their respective websites or at the venue itself or which are disclosed during the ticket purchase process.

2.2 We facilitate the Purchase of tickets for events, and from time to time, where expressly stated we may act as a promoter or organiser of an event. Where SpeedyTix is not the event organiser, we exclude any liability and/or responsibility for the quality or nature of any event including (but not limited to): your view at the venue where the event or show takes place, or the sound quality, local conveniences or accessibility of the event; any aspect of the quality of the stream you are able to watch for events streamed over the internet.

2.3 When you purchase a ticket you obtain a right to attend or watch the event performance as granted by the relevant Event Partner. The relevant Event Partner will be shown in the event listing in the Site or App or on the Services, preceded by the words: “Presented by”. We make available tickets on behalf of third party Event Partners who are not connected in any way with SpeedyTix. Those third party Event Partners are responsible to you for the relevant event. For the avoidance of doubt, from time to time, SpeedyTix may be the Event Partner and this will be made clear in the Event information on SpeedyTix.

2.4 Any changes to an event that occur after you have Purchased a ticket (such as a change of date/time, location, programme, or artist, or an event cancellation) are the sole responsibility of the Event Partner for that event. Please see Clause 3, which sets out how we will inform you of any changes to an event.

2.5 By hitting the ‘Purchase Tickets’ button in the Site or App or the Services, you are making a contractual offer to purchase the ticket(s). This offer is only accepted by SpeedyTix on behalf of, or acting as the Event Partner once you receive a confirmation email from us (as such it's important that you provide an accurate email address to SpeedyTix).

2.6 Upon Purchase of a ticket as well as on the day of the event you will receive a confirmation to the email address provided to us during your registration to the Site or App or the Services containing any additional details about the event. It is your responsibility to check these details carefully before the event. Your ticket is stored on the SpeedyTix.net, and is found by clicking on the 'tickets' option of your account.  Your ticket is required for entry to the venue or access to the stream, and must be presented upon request for each ticket holder. Note that for certain events, a hardcopy ticket may be provided to you. In these circumstances, we will notify you by telephone, email or within the Site or App of the arrangements for receiving or collecting your tickets. You may be asked by the venue or streaming platform to separately verify your identity and/or age by providing valid photo ID for events with age restrictions. For streamed events, access will be communicated to you via your in-App ticket, or the SpeedyTix website, and/or emails sent to you on the day of the streamed event. 

2.7 When Purchasing tickets via the App or the Services, you will be limited to a maximum number of tickets for each event (as specified in the order page of the Site, App or the Services).

2.8 We may make available certain goods (for example, merchandise), services and digital content (“Non-Ticket Items”) for purchase via our Site or the App. Please see Clauses 13 and 14 below for more information.

3. CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS AND CHANGES
3.1 Once you have Purchased a ticket, IT CANNOT BE EXCHANGED OR REFUNDED except in the following circumstances:
  • If an event is cancelled by the Event Partner, they are responsible for refunding the original ticket proceeds to you. SpeedyTix will arrange for the full refund to ticket holders on the Event Partner’s behalf and subject to us obtaining the funds to be provided from or on behalf of the Event Partner. We aim to do this within ten (10) working days of the Event Partner returning the original proceeds to us to enable us to process refunds.
  • If an event is postponed by the Event Partner, ticket holders may be given the option (subject to local laws and regulations) to either exchange their existing ticket for a new ticket for the rescheduled event date, or receive a voucher for the full ticket price, or a full refund.
  • In accordance with our Waiting List feature for sold out events, where applicable. Please see Clauses 6 and 7 below for details.

3.2 If an Event Partner notifies us of any changes to an event, or we are aware of any significant changes to an event where SpeedyTix is the Event Partner, we will:
  • Send a message to the mobile phone number or email address specified by you when registering with the Site or App or the Services informing you of the change; and
  • Inform you about the Event Partner's procedure for reimbursements and refunds, where appropriate.

3.3 We will not reimburse the cost of Purchased tickets after an event has taken place unless instructed otherwise by, and at the discretion of, the Event Partner. You will not be entitled to a refund if you fail to attend an event or make an error when purchasing tickets (for example you buy the wrong quantity or the wrong timezoned ticket for a streamed event) unless SpeedyTix’s cooling-off/automated refunds feature has been activated for the Event. You will not be entitled to a refund if you cannot view a streamed event for technical reasons not caused by SpeedyTix. In no circumstances will a refund be issued if requested for an Event due to take place within 24 hours of the request.

4. PRICES AND FEES

4.1 The price of the ticket(s) or Non-Ticket Item(s) listed in the Site or App includes VAT and will be the price indicated on the order pages of the Site or App when you placed your order. The price of a ticket may go up or down over time but you will pay the price shown when you place your order.

4.2 We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard, American Express (AMEX), Apple Pay, Android Pay and any other standard payment methods indicated in the Site and theApp. You must pay for your order before the ticket(s) or Non-Ticket Item(s) will be provided to you.

4.3 We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the ticket(s) or Non-Ticket Item(s) set out in the Site or App or the Services is correct. If we discover an error in the price in your order, we will contact you to give you the option of either reconfirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling your order. We will debit or refund the method you used for payment of the order, as applicable. If we are unable to contact you, you agree that we may treat your order as cancelled.

4.4 If you need a VAT invoice in respect of a ticket (or tickets), you will need to contact the relevant Event Partner with whom we can put you in touch.

5. SEAT SELECTION

5.1 Some tickets available on the Site or App or the Services will be issued for a particular seat or seating area at the event venue. When ordering such tickets, the Site or the App or the Services may give you the option of selecting your preferred seating area (rather than individual seat numbers).

5.2 Where you have selected a seating area when placing your order for the tickets, we may contact you at a later date and before the event to give you the option of selecting a particular seat number for your ticket(s) (“Set Seat”), so long as you inform us of your selection via the Site or the App or the Services and within the timeframe provided to you by us. Please note that you may be required to pay a small charge to us via the Site or the App or the Services, in addition to the ticket price, in order to select a Set Seat. We will notify you of this charge when giving you the option to select a Set Seat.

5.3 Where you do not select a Set Seat under Clause 5.2, we may allocate individual seat number(s) to you for your ticket(s) within the seating area you selected when placing your order. We will notify you of your seat numbers via the Site or the App or the Services and prior to the event. We will endeavour to ensure that where you have ordered more than one ticket, each ticket will be allocated seats that are next to each other. If you have any questions in relation to seat allocation please contact us at [email protected]

5.4 SpeedyTix has the right to allocate you alternative seats of an equal value.

5.5 Any seating charts shown via the Site or the App will reflect the general layout of the venue at that time. For some events the layout and specific seat locations may vary without notice.  Neither SpeedyTix nor the Event Partner will be liable for any difference between seating charts shown in the Site or the App and the layout of the venue.

6. WAITING LISTS REFUNDS

6.1 When an event has sold out and as agreed with the Event Partner, SpeedyTix may enable the Waiting List feature for that event.

6.2 Where the conditions of Clause 6.1 have been met, you may have the option to offer your ticket to the Waiting List via the Site or the App or the Services in order for it to be offered to other users of the Site or the App or the Services, so long as the return is made prior to the Event Partner’s deadline. This deadline is at the discretion of the Event Partner, though SpeedyTix endeavours to make the deadline as close as possible to the stated event time.

6.3 Once you have agreed to offer your ticket to the Waiting List, you forfeit your rights to the ticket(s) and they will no longer exist in your account during the Waiting List period. If the ticket(s) offered is not successfully Purchased by another user from the Waiting List, the ticket(s) will be returned to your account prior to the Event Partner’s deadline, and you will be able to use the ticket, but not be eligible for a refund. If the ticket(s) is successfully Purchased by another user from the Waiting List before the deadline, it will be deemed to have been resold by the Event Partner to the new purchaser as described in Clause 2.3, your rights to the ticket will cease entirely, and a full refund of your original Purchase for that ticket(s) will be provided to you. You will not be paid the difference (if any) between the original Purchase price and the price for which the ticket was resold for, if higher (with such difference being the “Waiting List Fee”).

7. WAITING LISTS PURCHASES

7.1 The Site or the App or the Services may allow you to sign up to the Waiting List for an event. If additional tickets are available for Purchase either by the Event Partner providing SpeedyTix with more tickets to sell on its behalf, or other users returning their Purchased tickets to the Waiting List in accordance with Clause 6.2, you will be notified and given a limited time period in which to Purchase the tickets through the App (“Timeframe”).

7.2 The ticket(s) Purchased via the Waiting List are subject to a higher price above the original price of the ticket(s). The Waiting List price you see in the Site or the App or the Services is the total higher price for that ticket when purchased through the Waiting List feature, including the Waiting List Fee.

7.3 If you have joined the Waiting List and offered a ticket(s), you are under no obligation to Purchase.

7.4 Failure to complete a Purchase of ticket(s) offered to you within the Timeframe will result in the tickets being offered to the next person on the Waiting List. Users who miss an opportunity to Purchase tickets offered to them from a Waiting List during the Timeframe may contact [email protected] in order to be placed back on the Waiting List. A user added back on to the Waiting List in this way will join at the end of the Waiting List (and will not be given their original position).

7.5 You acknowledge that joining a Waiting List does not guarantee you will successfully Purchase a ticket that becomes available. We are also not responsible if you fail to receive a notification or complete a transaction within the Timeframe in order to successfully Purchase the offered ticket(s).

8. ACCIDENTAL PURCHASES

8.1 You are responsible for checking the event details before Purchasing a ticket to ensure that the event’s artist, date, time, location, age limit, and any other restrictions are correct and acceptable to you. You will not be eligible for a refund in instances where such restrictions prevent your attendance.

8.2 Streamed events will sometimes be shown at multiple times to suit viewers in different timezones.  The timezone stated in the event description is fixed, and unless otherwise stated does not exclude fans from outside that territory or timezone from purchasing. However it is your responsibility to check that the timezone for which you are purchasing is suitable for you. SpeedyTix cannot guarantee refunds or exchange of tickets for an alternative timezone if you mistakenly purchase a ticket for a timezone that does not suit your viewing.

9. NON RESALE OF TICKETS

9.1 You may not resell or transfer your tickets, except for under (i) the ‘Limited Right to Transfer Tickets’ feature described below in Clause 10, and only if such reselling or transfer is not prohibited by law or by the relevant Event Partner, or (ii) the ‘Waiting List’ feature specified in Clause 6. Further, you may not duplicate a ticket, for example, by taking a screenshot of the ticket on your device or, for live streamed events, giving your access details to another person.

9.2 Any resale or transfer (or attempted resale or transfer) of a ticket in breach of Clause 9.1 is grounds for the immediate confiscation, invalidation, or cancellation of that ticket without refund or other compensation, and may result in full suspension of your use of the ticket transfer feature or full suspension of the original ticket holder’s use of the Site or the App in general, at SpeedyTix’s sole discretion.

10. LIMITED RIGHT TO TRANSFER TICKETS
10.1 For certain events a person who has purchased a ticket (a "Sender") may be permitted to transfer the ticket via the Site or the App to another registered SpeedyTix user (a "Recipient"). This can be done at any time prior to the ticket transfer cut-off date and time specified by the Event Partner, provided that the conditions below are met:
  • The Recipient has a device compatible with the Site or the App; and
  • The Recipient's mobile number associated with the App is stored and accessible from the contact list or phonebook of the Sender’s personal device; and
  • The Recipient has downloaded the most recent and updated version of the App to their phone; and
  • The Recipient has successfully registered and created a SpeedyTix account using the device and mobile number mentioned above.

10.2 SpeedyTix provides this feature to facilitate the transfer of the rights to a ticket only. The transfer does not extend to the payment for the ticket, which must be arranged separately and directly between the Sender and the Recipient.

10.3 Due to restrictions placed on SpeedyTix by Event Partners, only tickets for certain events may be transferred using this feature. If the event does not allow the transfer of tickets as a feature within the Site or the App, you may contact [email protected] to request this manually by providing the full name and mobile number of the Recipient to whom you wish to transfer a ticket. Conditions for the Recipient to receive the ticket are as described above. You must contact SpeedyTix at least two (2) weeks in advance of the event dates if you wish to transfer a ticket in this way. If you contact us to transfer your ticket with less than this notice period, we cannot guarantee we will be able to fulfil your request. Any requests to transfer tickets in this manner that are received less than two (2) weeks before the event may be denied at SpeedyTix’s sole discretion.

10.4 When using the ticket transfer feature the Sender is responsible for ensuring that the mobile number of the Recipient is correct for the intended purchaser of the ticket. Any ticket successfully transferred to a Recipient automatically becomes a right of that Recipient and the Sender then has no rights in relation to the ticket. SpeedyTix is not responsible for any tickets mistakenly sent to the wrong Recipient and cannot transfer the tickets in question back to the Sender without the Recipient’s prior authorisation or consent.

10.5 The Sender is responsible for requesting and arranging any payment for the ticket separately and directly with the Recipient. Any such payment must not be for a sum exceeding the face value of the ticket. SpeedyTix is not responsible for any Recipient refusing to pay any Sender. If an event is cancelled, a refund will be made to the Sender as the original ticket holder by the same means as payment for the ticket was originally made. The Sender is then responsible for remitting the refund separately and directly to the Recipient.

10.6 When requested by the Sender, Recipients of tickets are responsible for settling payment separately and directly with the Sender for an amount no greater than the face value of the ticket.

10.7 If the Recipient of a transferred ticket is unable to attend the event, the tickets may be transferred again to a new Recipient or returned to the original Sender using the process set out above.

10.8 It is prohibited for any Recipient to pay more than face value for a ticket. SpeedyTix will conduct periodic checks with Recipients to ensure that no more than face value was paid for any ticket. Any transfer of tickets under this Clause 10 for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to using purchased tickets in prize draws or competitions. Any Sender found to have requested or received payment from a Recipient above the face value, or found to have transferred (or offered to transfer) a ticket for commercial use, is in breach of the terms under which the ticket was sold and that may be cause for the immediate confiscation, invalidation, or cancellation of the ticket without any refund or other compensation and for a future restriction on the use of the ticket transfer feature or full suspension of the Sender’s use of the Site or the App in general, at SpeedyTix’s sole discretion.

11. LIABILITY

11.1 SpeedyTix assumes no responsibility for tickets Purchased through third parties or unofficial sales points. SpeedyTix is not responsible for any differences in price with other media or sales channels.

11.2 SpeedyTix is not responsible for:
  • Loss or theft of personal mobile devices, any tickets stored within the Site or the App on a lost or stolen device or any hardcopy tickets. Events in real life are generally provided with a door list with names of individuals who have Purchased tickets through the Site or the App or the Services.  Our Event Partners may seek to allow you to gain entry to the event without your mobile phone by you speaking to a SpeedyTix or event representative who will ask for ID verification in order to allow access to the event. However, this is not guaranteed.
  • Any personal arrangements including travel, accommodation or hospitality relating to the attendance or an event. Neither we nor the relevant Event Partner shall be liable to you for any loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure.
  • Any issues relating to the quality of a streamed event including but not limited to buffering, pixelation, functionality of the stream, or access to the stream from a specific device, unless such issues are the fault of SpeedyTix.
  • Any exchange or bank fees incurred by you arising from the normal course of payment or reimbursement.

11.3 Except as otherwise set out in these Purchase Terms, our liability to you in connection with:
  • An event (including, but not limited to, any cancellation, rescheduling or material change to the programme of the event or the quality of the event, or your ability to view a streamed event) and the ticket you have Purchased shall be limited to the price paid by you for the ticket or £5, whichever is higher; or
  • A Non-Ticket Item shall be limited to the price paid by you to us for that Non-Ticket Item.

11.4 These Purchase Terms do not exclude our liability (if any) to you for personal injury or death resulting from our negligence, fraud, or any matter for which liability cannot be lawfully excluded or restricted.

11.5 COVID-19

11.5.1 ‘Covid-19’ means: the global outbreak of the respiratory coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 and the virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (and any subsequent waves or derivatives of the same).  There is a risk of the transmission of Covid-19 in any environment where people come together, which is increased in enclosed spaces with an increased number of people.

11.5.2 By purchasing tickets to an event via the Site or the App or the Services, you accept that neither SpeedyTix nor the Event Partner can guarantee that you will not be exposed to Covid-19.  You voluntarily accept the risk of being exposed to, contracting or spreading Covid-19.  You agree that SpeedyTix and the Event Partner are not responsible or liable for any injuries, sickness, or death resulting from such causes.

11.5.3  You also agree:
  • To comply with all health and safety protocols implemented by the Event Partner (which can be amended at any time according to the latest guidance or legislation, or as otherwise deemed necessary).  These protocols may be communicated to you via various channels including but not limited to the Event Partners website, venue signage or as instructed by venue staff at the event;
  • To abide by all government guidance aimed at preventing the transmission of Covid-19; and
  • Not to enter the venue if you believe you may have been infected with Covid-19.

12. ACCESS TO VENUES AND STREAMED EVENTS
12.1 Your purchase of a ticket to an event via the Site or the App or Services will give you a personal revocable licence from the Event Partner to attend the event or participate in the stream, subject always to the terms and conditions specified in these Purchase Terms. By purchasing a ticket on the Site or the App or the Services, you acknowledge that the Event Partner reserves the right, on reasonable and lawful grounds, to refuse entry to, block online access, or remove from the premises any ticket holder without requirement to offer a refund or other compensation. By way of example, the Event Partner may remove or refuse entry to a ticket holder who:
  • Has behaved in a manner which, in the reasonable opinion of the Event Partner 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 breach of the peace; or
  • In the reasonable opinion of the Event Partner, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs; or
  • Fails, when required, to produce proof of identity or age (as or when appropriate); or
  • For live streamed events, fails to comply with the streaming platform’s terms of use; or
  • Fails to comply with any measures intended to fight the spread of Covid-19 or other public health measures.

12.2 By accepting these Purchase Terms, you acknowledge that SpeedyTix shall have no liability if you are refused entry to an event, or you are removed or blocked from a streamed event, by an Event Partner or otherwise for the actions or inactions of the Event Partner.

12.3 Unless stated in the event copy, all streamed events are broadcast as live experiences.  It is your responsibility to ensure that you are ready and able to watch the event ahead of time, in accordance with the instructions sent via the Site or the App or in SpeedyTix’s event communications.  Unless otherwise stated, you should assume that streamed events will not be available to watch after the listed time and date, and that you will not be able to pause or rewind streamed events.

12.4 To view a streamed event, you should ensure you have the most up to date version of the SpeedyTix App, or you are viewing via an up-to-date web browser on a laptop or desktop computer. Though SpeedyTix does work with a number of streaming platforms and casting configurations, we cannot guarantee functionality when streamed events are viewed via casting devices, smart TVs, games consoles or other hardware. If for any reason you experience buffering or access issues during a streamed event, we are unable to guarantee a refund or rewatch opportunity.

13. NON-TICKET ITEMS

13.1 We may make available certain Non-Ticket Items for purchase via the Site or the App or the Services (including goods, services and digital content). Clauses 13 and 14 only apply to the purchase of Non-Ticket Items (and not to tickets).

13.2 Any Non-Ticket Item purchased through the Site or the App or the Services is subject to:
  • These Purchase Terms;
  • Our Terms of Use;
  • Our Privacy Policy; and
  • Any additional terms and conditions of the relevant Event Partner(s) which can be found on the order pages when making a purchase.

13.3 Where the Non-Ticket Item is a physical item (for example, goods), we are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with this contract.

14. CANCELLATION RIGHTS
Note that you do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
  • Tickets or other forms of entry to an event;
  • Any upgrades or additional services including travel, catering, accommodation, transport or services relating to leisure activities, to be provided on a specified date or during a specified period;
  • Services, once these have been completed;
  • Digital content after you have started to download or stream these; and
  • Goods sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them.

15. SUSPECTED FRAUD

15.1 We have the right to remove or revoke your tickets (including any tickets transferred in accordance with Clause 10) and provide a full refund to the payment card account holder if your Purchase is suspected of being fraudulent and/or if we have grounds to suspect that your tickets were Purchased using a stolen card (the ‘Suspected Fraud’).

15.2 Where clause 15.1 applies, we are not obliged to notify you of the removal, revocation or refund, nor provide you with any detail of the Suspected Fraud. This is to ensure that those committing fraud are not alerted to the methods of investigation.

15.3 If you believe that your tickets have been removed incorrectly due to Suspected Fraud, you may dispute this by contacting our support team at [email protected].

16. GENERAL

16.1 Certain events may be recorded for commercial and/or promotional purposes by the Event Partner. When accessing the venue or show you consent to your image being used in this way.

16.2 SpeedyTix reserves the right to obtain photographs, audio or video of all events for which SpeedyTix makes tickets available. When accessing the venue or show you consent to your image being used in this way. We may reproduce and/or publish your image in the App, our website, and in other promotional materials, social networking channels and other materials related to the App. For more information about how we use your personal information, and how to request details of the personal information that we hold about you then please read our Privacy Policy.

16.3 Except for Event Partners, who shall have the right to enforce any right expressly granted for their benefit, no one other than a party to these Purchase Terms has any right to enforce any of the terms of these Purchase Terms.
