Our registration process requires that you provide personal contact details when booking online and when booking in advance of an event. This is for many important reasons, including:

• So that we have details to verify who you are for enquiries or changes to your booking
• So that we can contact you in case of important changes to or the cancellation of an event
• Requesting an email address or postal address so we know where to send the tickets
• Requesting a Billing Address for Credit Card verification purposes

If you do not wish to provide any contact details to us, you will need to either book less than 2 hours prior to a performance (using any payment method), or book in person in advance of an event (and pay using cash).

In not providing contact details, you accept the risk of inconvenience if changes to an event are made (eg: cancellation or change in date / time / artists), as we are unable to contact you to let you know of these changes.
