I tried to make a booking but it was declined/expired.
If a booking expires it means it was not successful, so no tickets are sent. If monies look like they have left your account, this is in fact a banking error and the amount is 'pending' and has not left your account. This will rectify itself in a few hours.

No, if you are taken back to the 'Confirm Booking for...' page where you have to re-enter your name and email address unfortunately you booking was not successful, as no tickets have been sent. You can always check 'My Tickets' for tickets, as if your booking is successful tickets will show here to be downloaded.

Do I have to collect tickets from the Box Office?

For certain events i.e. concerts you may have to collect hard copy tickets at the venue's Box Office - an email would have been sent to the email address you used to book tickets. In these cases your e-ticket acts as a receipt which must be exchanged for hard copy tickets at the box office.

Please take the e-ticket to the box office to get your hard copy tickets, as you are only permitted entry with hard copy tickets.

Please ensure that you bring relevant forms of personal ID - must be photo I.D. that is a full/provisional driving licence, passport. Other forms of I.D. may be rejected.

The main ticket buyer must be present to collect the tickets, and their full name must match their I.D. must be photo I.D. that is a full/provisional driving licence, passport. Other forms of I.D. may be rejected.

Depending on the venue please double check the Box Office opening/close times as you must arrive during this time. Failure to do so can result in non-entry.
