Terms and Conditions
Your Contract
1. As authorised ticket agent, Essential Event Management sells tickets on behalf of BigChurchDayOut. We refer to BigChurchDayOut as the “Organiser “.
2. The sale of your ticket is subject to policies set forth by the Organiser.
3. By making a booking you enter into a direct contract with the Organiser. We act solely as agent of the Organiser and are not responsible for any loss, injury or damage whatsoever caused except where any such loss, injury or damage to you is caused by our negligence.
Your Ticket
4. Your ticket remains the property of the Organiser and may be withdrawn and admission refused at any time upon refunding the printed purchase price.
5. Once purchased, tickets cannot be returned, refunded, exchanged or transferred, unless the event is cancelled or moved to another date.
6. When you place your order you agree that the tickets are for the personal use of you and your party only, and will not be resold or transferred. Any attempt to resell the tickets will result in your orders being cancelled without prior notification.
7. In order to prevent fraud and to protect both parties, you may be asked to provide additional information after your booking so that we can verify your purchase.
8. A limited number of tickets are available for sale. Therefore some types of ticket may sell out quickly. We reserve the right to cancel your ticket should we find that certain types of tickets are oversold. In these circumstances, a full refund including the booking fee will be provided. Tickets may not be available on the gate.
9. It is your responsibility to check your tickets as mistakes cannot always be rectified. If there is a problem with your tickets please contact info@essentialeventmanagement.com or call 01825 748881.
10. We will not be responsible for any tickets that are lost or stolen.
11. Tickets are sold subject to the venue or Organiser’s right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond their reasonable control without being obliged to refund monies or exchange tickets.
12. Tickets purchased from Essential Event Management will be subject to a 10% booking fee. The booking fee covers credit card charges and admin costs incurred by Essential Event Management, BigChurchDayOut does not benefit from this booking fee.
13. Only the cardholder can present the credit or debit card used to make payment and sign a receipt. This is part of the credit card merchant agreement and is in place to protect both us and the cardholder from potential credit card fraud.
E-tickets for Individuals and Groups under 10 people.
14. Essential Event Management will deliver all orders for 1-9 tickets electronically, via an e-ticket email that will include all booking information. You will need to print and bring your e-ticket with you to the event to be exchanged for wristbands.
15. If orders are sent and then returned to us as “unknown email”, we reserve the right to cancel the order without refund.
16. Essential Event Management will only send orders to the address given at the time of booking.
E-tickets and Wristbands for Groups of 10 or more people.
17. Essential event Management will deliver wristbands for all group 10+ orders via 2nd class signed for delivery the week commencing 30th April. If the wristbands have not arrived by 29th May then please contact us atinfo@essentialeventmanagement.com or on 01825 748881. Please provide your full name, postcode and the order number you received in your email confirmation.
18. If it becomes impractical to post wristbands out due to the proximity of an event (usually less than 7 working days within the UK, less than 10 days for Europe), or for reasons beyond our control, we reserve the right to make wristbands available for collection at the venue immediately prior to the event. We will notify you by email or phone if this becomes necessary.
19. Essential Event Management will only send orders to the address given at the time of booking.
20. If orders are sent and then returned to us as “unknown email” or “addressee unknown”, we reserve the right to cancel the order without refund.
Lost or Stolen wristbands (Large Groups pre-event and all tickets On Site)
21. When you receive your wristbands please keep them in a safe place.
22. No duplicate wristbands will be issued to replace lost or stolen tickets as that might mean the venue would exceed its capacity, contravene health and safety and so jeopardise its license.
Cancellations, Changes and Refunds
23. Occasionally, events are cancelled or postponed by the promoter, performer or venue – for a variety of reasons. If the event is cancelled then the face value of your ticket may be refundable but your booking fee will not be refundable.
24. Neither the venue, the Organiser nor Essential Event Management shall have any further liability beyond the face value of the ticket purchased.
25. It is your responsibility to ascertain whether an event has been cancelled and the date and time of any rearranged event. If an event is cancelled or rescheduled, we will use reasonable endeavours to notify ticket holders of the cancellation once we have received the relevant authorisation from the Organiser.
26. We do not guarantee that ticket holders will be informed of such cancellation before the date of the event.
27. In the event of cancellation refund restrictions will apply, as set by The Organisers.
28. If BigChurchDayOut is cancelled, ticket holders will be offered tickets at any rescheduled performance (subject to availability) up to the face value of the tickets or, if the ticket holder is unable to attend the rescheduled performance or the performance is not rescheduled, a refund of the face value of the tickets only.
29. If you are asked by us to return tickets we advise that you use secure mail. On receipt, we will refund the face value of the tickets using the same method as used to purchase them.

31. No unauthorised trading is permitted within the venue or any official parking facility.
32. The right to admission to an event is reserved by the promoter and event venue, who may take health and safety, environmental and security concerns into account at their discretion, and may on occasion carry out security searches. We would advise you that no refunds will be offered to customers who are refused entry or ejected from a venue on account of late arrival, being (or appearing to be) under age where an age limit has been advertised, declining to be searched, abusive, threatening, drunken or other anti-social behaviour (including smoking in no smoking areas), carrying offensive weapons or illegal substances, or making unauthorised audio, video or photographic recordings.
