‍

Your WOW Account

In order to purchase tickets online you must create a WOW Account (“account”). This can be done at the time of purchase or at any time by registering your details here. You may review and update your existing account details here. 

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your user name and password and for all activity that occurs on your account, in the absence of manifest fraud. You shall not permit anyone other than you to use your account. If you become aware or suspect that anyone knows your user name and/or password, you should promptly contact us. 

You must not create or use multiple accounts with the purpose or intention of circumventing any of the terms of these Terms and Conditions or concealing your identity or other personal details. 

We reserve the right to terminate your account and/or cancel any of your orders and/or prohibit you from making future orders if: 

a) any abusive or threatening behaviour is carried out by you or on your behalf or via your account; 

b) we suspect any fraudulent activity or other illegal activity is carried out by you or on your behalf or via your account; 

c) we suspect any unauthorised use of your account or other unauthorised activity is carried out by you or on your behalf or via your account; 

d) we are ordered to do so by any legal or regulatory authority; and/or 

e) you otherwise materially breach the terms of these Terms and Conditions or any other applicable policies or terms and conditions. 

To prevent fraud and protect us, we reserve the right to carry out checks and/or request that additional information be provided in order to verify purchases. We reserve the right to cancel any orders that we reasonably suspect to have been made fraudulently, without any notice to you, and any and all tickets will be void. 

Orders are processed subject to approval by your payment provider. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order, or there is a technical issue that can delay that approval. Where a transaction is processed on our system but the payment is not subsequently approved by your payment provider, our team will attempt to contact you using the information provided at the time of purchase. If we are unable to reach you after its initial attempt, we may cancel your order and may sell your tickets to another customer. 

‍

Ticket Pricing, Availability and Fees  

Due to changes in the production, additional seats may be placed on sale. This may be done at any time without notice. WOW reserves the right to state that a show has “sold out” or that there are no more seats available in a particular section/price reserve and release additional seats at a later date. 

In many circumstances, ticket prices are set at the time of the initial on-sale and stay the same until the event. However, WOW may make changes to the originally advertised price of seats or alter the pricing levels of seats. Prices may be changed for a variety of reasons (e.g. marketing promotions). You will not be entitled to a refund or credit if: 

a) the price you paid for a ticket was at any time before you purchased your ticket less than the price you paid; 

b) the price of any other ticket to the relevant event (whether in the same location, price category or otherwise) is subsequently reduced after you purchase your ticket. 

The prices shown for tickets include GST (unless otherwise specified). A credit/debit card surcharge will apply to customers who choose to pay by credit/debit card. This follows an agreement in August 2009 between the Commerce Commission and credit card companies which allow retailers to charge extra on payments made with credit cards. This surcharge will be 2.5% and includes credit card fees and expenses, handling and associated infrastructure costs. 

In special circumstances you may be permitted to book tickets over the phone. In these cases, a $15.00 phone booking fee will be incurred.

If you are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or pre-sale date, you are able to order a ticket that was not supposed to have been for sale, or are able to purchase a ticket at a price only intended for a specific group/offer that you are not entitled to, then WOW will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid. This will apply regardless of whether the ticket was released because of human error or a transactional malfunction of a WOW operated system. 

If we discover an error in the price of tickets you have ordered (regardless of the source of that error, and whether it was an error in a price posted on our website or otherwise communicated to you), we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price (and credit or debit your account as applicable) or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you, you agree that we may treat the order as cancelled. If you choose to cancel after you have already paid the incorrect ticket price for the tickets, you will receive a full refund from us. 

‍

Authenticity and Validity of Tickets 

Entry to a performance may be refused if the authenticity or validity of a ticket is unable to be determined, including because the ticket has been altered, damaged or defaced in any way. 

When collecting or presenting concession tickets or when entering events with an age restriction in place, appropriate identification must be shown. If suitable identification is not shown (as determined by WOW at its sole discretion), you may be refused entry to the event. 

‍

Unlawful Re-Sale of Tickets; Commercial Purposes 

Tickets may not be packaged or used to enhance the demand for any goods and services or for any other commercial purposes including advertising, promotions or as a prize in any competition without the written permission of WOW. 

Tickets cannot be offered, provided, resold or transferred for an amount greater than its face value (this includes using third party websites such as TradeMe, Facebook, Viagogo etc. to resell your ticket/s for an amount great than its face value). WOW reserves the right to cancel any tickets that have been resold in breach of this condition. WOW will not be liable for any damage suffered by the ticket holder in the event of such cancellation. 

‍

Cancelled and Rescheduled Performances 

If a performance is cancelled or rescheduled, WOW will: 

a) notify you of the decision and any other relevant information using the contact details set out in your account. Please note that if cancellation occurs on the date of the performance, then we may not be able to notify you of such cancellation prior to the scheduled time of the performance. You can keep your contact details up to date by accessing your account here.

b) in the case of cancellation, WOW will provide you with a refund of the face value of your ticket; or 

c) in the case of rescheduling, WOW will advise you of any refund entitlement you may have. If a performance is rescheduled, there may be refund limitations which you will be notified of.

Refunds will only be issued to the original purchaser and to the original credit or debit card unless these have expired. 

Please note that any refund we provide you with for cancellation or rescheduling of a show will not include any amounts paid by you in respect of booking, card processing, insurance, or administrative fees. WOW will not be liable in any circumstances for any other expenditure or costs (such as travel or accommodation costs) that are associated with your show attendance.

‍

Licence; Ejection and Cancellation; No Redemption Value 

You may be denied entry into, or removed from, a performance where WOW or the performance venue management has reasonable grounds to do so, including if you breach these Terms and Conditions or you are intoxicated or adversely affecting the enjoyment of the performance by others or if you fail to comply with the venue’s terms and conditions of entry.

A ticket is a revocable licence and a breach of these Terms and Conditions will automatically terminate your licence to attend the performance without refund. 

A ticket is not redeemable for cash. 

‍

You Are Subject to Search 

You and your belongings may be searched on entry to the performance venue. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims that may arise. If you do not consent to being searched, you may be denied entry to the performance without refund or other compensation. Certain items may not be brought into the performance, including without limitation, alcohol, drugs and controlled substances. 

‍

Recording, Transmission or Exhibition 

Photography, filming and recording during the performance is strictly prohibited and may result in your removal from any performance where you are found to be in breach of this obligation. 

You grant WOW permission to utilise your image, likeness, actions and statements in any live or recorded audio, video or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at the performance (regardless of whether made before, during or after the performance and whether within the venue or outside the venue) in any medium or context without further authorisation or compensation. 

‍

Limitation of Liability 

Attendance at any performance is at your own risk and, except in relation to any obligations that cannot be excluded at law (including under any applicable NZ Consumer Laws), WOW will not be liable for any damage or loss you may suffer arising from the performance or your attendance at the venue. It is your responsibility to ensure you attend the venue at the time stated on your ticket or as otherwise advertised. 

Where liability cannot be excluded by law (including, without limitation, the NZ Consumer Law), the maximum liability that WOW will have to you is the face value of the ticket purchased plus any relevant per ticket and/or transaction fee.
