Terms & Conditions

The following terms and conditions apply to all bookings processed by staff and volunteers of Theatre503 (we) and to bookings made online by the Customer (you; the Audience Member).

1. Production / Performance Information

• For productions that are not produced by Theatre503, we act only as a ticket agent for the company concerned (the Producers). We endeavour to give the Customer accurate performance information as provided by the Producers (including, but not limited to, running times, cast and creative information, and scene content that may affect the Customer’s decision to view the performance) but we may not know if this information is incomplete, incorrect or out of date.
• Theatre503 and / or the Producers reserve the right to make alterations to advertised productions, including casting and schedule, at any time and without grounds for Customer compensation.
• To limit costs for new and emerging production companies, we do not have understudies and so it may be necessary to cancel a performance at short notice due to cast indisposition.
• Theatre503 and / or the Producers reserve the right to cancel, without grounds for Customer compensation, any advertised events attached to the performance (including, but not limited to, pre or post show discussions and workshops), on the basis that these events are provided free from additional charge when the Customer purchases a ticket for the performance.
• It is the Customer’s responsibility to check the details of the performance booked as per the Confirmation of Order (issued from info@theatre503.com) including performance date and start time, number and type of tickets booked and performance location (not all performances sold through Theatre503 take place at the SW11 venue.)

2. Ticket Availability, Pricing and Promotions
   • Ticket availability and pricing on the Theatre503 website is provided for information only. Theatre503 is not obligated to contract on the basis of that information.
   • Theatre503 reserves the right to place restrictions on the number of tickets that may be purchased.
   • Theatre503 reserves the right to alter, limit or cancel outright any and all advertised ticket promotions at any time.
   • It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide valid ID (expiring after the date of the performance) when collecting concession tickets from the Box Office. Valid ID is classed as ID in the form a physical ID card or a letter. Emails (either printed or displayed by phone) are not classed as valid ID. ALL tickets holders must be in procession of valid ID for collection of concession tickets (e.g. If the Customer purchases 2 x Equity concession tickets for a performance, both persons must be in procession of a valid Equity card).
   • Theatre503 reserves the right to charge the difference in price between a concession ticket and a full price ticket to any Customer not in procession of valid ID on collection of a concession ticket/s.
3. Payment
   • Theatre503 cannot reserve tickets. All tickets must be paid for in full at the time of booking.
   • Completion of the online booking process, including the provision of credit or debit card details, shall constitute an offer by the Customer to purchase tickets subject to Theatre503’s terms and conditions.

   • Tickets cannot be refunded unless a performance is sold out and Theatre503 is able to resell the Customer’s ticket (see section 4.3) or a performance is cancelled by Theatre503 and / or The Producers (see section 5.3). Circumstances outside of the aforementioned do not constitute grounds for a refund.
   • The Customer is not permitted to resell their ticket/s through an unauthorised third party.
   • Tickets that are no longer required must be returned by the Customer to Theatre503 for resale.

If the respective performance falls on a weekend, the Customer must contact Theatre503 no later than 6pm, the Friday prior.
   • Box Office opens 30 minutes prior to the performance start time. It is the Customer’s responsibility to arrive in good time to collect tickets prior to the performance start time.

   • If a performance is cancelled or rescheduled Theatre503 will, in the first instance, offer to exchange the Customer’s ticket/s to an alternative, future occurrence of that performance. If no suitable future occurrence is available, the Customer is entitled to a full refund of the cost price of the ticket/s. Refunds will be made to the original method of payment only.
   • Theatre503 cannot be held liable for any costs incurred as a result of performance cancellation outside of the cost price of the ticket/s.
