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.
