A. Status of these Terms and Conditions

  1. These Terms and Conditions incorporate, and should be read in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the authorised ticket agent from which You purchased Your Ticket, copies of which are available upon request from the relevant authorised ticket agent. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the terms and conditions of the relevant authorised ticket agent, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
  2. All Tickets are sold subject to these Terms and Conditions. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully prior to purchase and raise any queries with the Promoter prior to purchase. Purchase of any Ticket constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions on Your behalf and on behalf of any person for whom You are purchasing Tickets.
  3. These terms and conditions are subject to change from time to time without notice and in our sole discretion. We will notify You of amendments to these terms and conditions by posting them to this website.

B. Tickets, Times, Refunds and Cancellation

  1. Only customers holding a valid Ticket will be admitted to the Event. There are a limited number of Tickets (and different types of Tickets) available for each Event, and therefore purchase of Tickets is strictly subject to availability.
  2. You must retain this Ticket on Your person at all times during the Event.
  3. Your Ticket may be invalidated if any part of it is removed, altered or defaced.
  4. Upon purchase, please check Tickets carefully as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase. Tickets are not issued on a sale or return basis and refunds will not be made on returned Tickets unless provided for under these Terms and Conditions.
  5. The Promoter will not be responsible for any Ticket that is lost, stolen or destroyed. You are solely responsible for the safe-keeping of Your Ticket. It is not always possible to issue duplicate Tickets. If duplicates are issued, a reasonable administration fee may be charged.
  6. Price and availability information is subject to change without notice.
  7. Tickets are barcoded and each barcode is unique and only allows one entry to the Event. From time to time we may choose to use other forms of tickets, such as RFID, as ticketing technology develops. Each ticket will be coded to ensure the relevant number of permitted entries only.
  8. Ownership or possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on You to use, alter, copy, or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trademarks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.
  9. Tickets are personal revocable licences and shall at all times remain the property of the Promoter and subject to these Terms and Conditions. You may not re-sell or transfer a Ticket for commercial gain. If a Ticket is re-sold, transferred or advertised for profit or commercial gain or used for competitions, promotions or hospitality packages by anyone other than the Promoter, or an authorised sub-agent, it will be void and You will be refused entry to, or ejected from, the Venue without refund.
  10. Tickets are sold subject to the Promoter’s right to alter or vary the published Event programme which may result in changes to the performance line-up, playing times or any other aspect of the Event. The Promoter reserves all rights in this regard. Any published start and finish times of a performance at the Event are estimates only and are subject to change. The Promoter shall not be liable for any change of a published start or finish time.
  11. All advertised times are approximate and subject to change. It is Your responsibility to make appropriate arrangements to ensure that You arrive at the Venue in sufficient time in case the Event or performance starts early or otherwise, and to ensure that You are able to stay until the close of the Event or performance should You wish to if it overruns. We will not be responsible to make any refund or meet the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or for any loss of enjoyment or other indirect loss as a result of an Event not running to the precise advertised times.
  12. In the event of a cancellation, postponement or Material alteration of the Event (defined below) you will be entitled to a refund in accordance with statutory rights. Where the cancellation takes place part-way through an Event, you will not be entitled to a refund unless agreed by all parties.
  13. Personal arrangements including travel, subsistence and accommodation in relation to the Event which have been arranged by You are made at Your own risk and neither the authorised ticket agent nor the Promoter will have any liability for any such loss of enjoyment or wasted expenditure. A “Material” alteration is a change which in our reasonable opinion makes the Event materially different to the Event which purchasers of the Ticket could reasonably expect. Changes to performance times, s acts shall not be considered a Material alteration. A Material alteration is judged by reference to the nature and billing of each Event. The Event is judged by reference to the overall theme rather than the individual act scheduled to appear. No scheduled acts may be considered as headline acts, regardless of their relative fame or prominence in the billing, and so cancellation by an artist will not entitle You to a refund, regardless of their position on the bill.
  14. In order to claim Your refund please refer to the terms and It is Your responsibility to check that the Event has not been cancelled, rescheduled or made the subject of a Material alteration. Information on such matters will be made available on behalf of the Promoter as soon as reasonably practicable on the Promoter’s and at the Venue. Customers are advised that the website cannot always be updated immediately and that circumstances giving rise to cancellation, postponement or Material alterations can sometimes arise immediately prior to an Event.
  15. Tickets will not be refunded where they have been used to gain entry to the Event, or where You are able to and choose to attend a postponed Event.
  16. Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded.
  17. Tickets are transferrable for a £10 admin fee up until 31st July 2024. Tickets are non transferable after 1st August 2024.

C. Unauthorised Ticket Agents and Touting

  • Tickets bought from unauthorised agents are not valid and admission will not be granted to the Event with any Ticket bought from unauthorised agents. To be as safe as You can and to avoid obtaining an unauthorised ticket, follow these simple guidelines. Please note that these guidelines are not intended to be an exhaustive list of precautions which You should take to avoid obtaining an unauthorised Ticket.
  • Do not buy from an unofficial ticket agent. Do not buy from internet auction sites or exchange/buy tickets on social networking sites such as Facebook.
  • If You live in the UK do not buy from a website with an overseas office address, or with no registered address shown.
  • Do not buy from another individual or tout, either in advance of, or outside, the Event.
  1. If we are aware that You have bought Tickets anywhere other than from official authorised outlets You will not be granted access to the Event. Tickets are non-transferable, which means that once purchased You cannot sell them on to others. The Promoter will be unable to assist You if You have bought from an unauthorised source, as we will have no purchase history available for the Ticket.
  2. If You do encounter problems contact Your credit card issuer as soon as possible, also contact Your local trading standards office, and, if You believe a criminal offence has taken place, the police. Please note that touting of tickets for music events or sale of tickets for music events on the secondary market is not currently a criminal offence in England and Wales but if You are not sure whether a criminal offence has taken place then ask advice first from Your card issuer and local trading standards office. For more information about ticket touts please visit the Office Of Fair Trading website at http://www.oft.gov.uk.
  3. Occasionally due to genuine circumstances You may find Yourself with a spare Ticket. Please do not be tempted to sell it on an unauthorised auction site or to sell to a Ticket tout or unauthorised online agency. If You do, the Purchaser may not be able to enter the Event (under the Terms and Conditions) for the reasons set out above. Should this happen You may find that the purchaser brings a legal claim against You for selling a Ticket which does not permit access to the Event.
  4. We reserve the right to cancel any Ticket booking which we reasonably believe to have been made with a view to resell such Tickets or where the Ticket has been purchased using fraudulent means, such as credit card fraud.
  5. Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per person per credit card or per household. These restrictions will be notified to You by our ticket agents and on our website before You make Your booking. We reserve the right to cancel Tickets purchased in excess of this number without prior notice to You of such cancellation.
  6. Tickets obtained in breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be null and void and the Promoter may refuse admission to, or eject You from, the Venue. Any person seeking to use a void Ticket in order to gain or provide entry to an Event will be considered to be a trespasser and will be ejected and liable to legal action. Void Tickets are non-refundable.

Payment Plan Information and Terms and Conditions:

HOW DO PAYMENT PLANS WORK?

Payment Plan allows you to pay for your ticket(s) over a number of instalments. Booking fees are also spread across these instalments.

For 2024 we will be offering 4 PART PAYMENT PLANS. These are split into 4 equal payments and will be on sale from Monday 3rd March until the 30th April. These payment plans are only available on 3 day or 2 day weekend tickets. Add ons such as car parking, and live in vehicle permits must be bought separately from our website’s tickets page.

When you sign up to the payment plan – the first payment is due when you sign up. This will be available anytime from Monday 3rd March until the 30th April 2024. Payment plans will NOT be available after this date.

Once signed up to the payment plan you will automatically receive an email with a link to pay instalment number 2 on the 9th May 2024 and you will have until the 7th June to make this payment. You will receive a reminder email prior to the 7th June if you haven’t yet made the 2nd payment.

You will receive a further link via email to pay instalment number 3 on the 13th June and you will have until 12thJuly to make this payment. Again, you will receive a reminder email prior to the 12th July if you haven’t made the 3rd payment.

The link to pay the 4th and final payment will be emailed to you on the 18th July and you will have until 15thAugust 2024 to make this payment. This will then confirm your ticket(s) for Lindisfarne Festival 2024 which will then be emailed to you two weeks before the festival, when all tickets are sent out.

WHAT IF I MISS A PAYMENT?

The payment window for paying for each instalment is outlined above and we will also send a reminder email before the payment window closes. If you do not make the instalment payment during this window then your payment plan will be cancelled and you will not be entitled to a refund of any previous instalments.

CAN I GET A REFUND ON MY PAYMENT PLAN?

No, as stated when you place an order all tickets are sold on a strictly non-refundable basis.

CAN I PAY EARLY?

No, all payments must be made as per the payment plan schedule you agree to upon purchase. You can pay anytime from the instalment window opening as long as payment is made prior to it closing.

CAN I CHANGE MY TICKETS ON MY PAYMENT PLAN?

No, once an order has been placed, tickets cannot be changed. Take extra care to make sure you only order the tickets you actually want.

WHY CAN’T I ORDER ADD ONS IN THE PAYMENT PLAN?

We are having to run payment plans manually and as a small independent team, we have to keep the process as simple as possible so have kept it to the higher price items of weekend tickets. Add ons can be bought at anytime until the festival and we will notify you in advance if anything is due to sell out.

CAN I CANCEL MY PAYMENT PLAN?

If you no longer want to attend Lindisfarne Festival and cancel your payment plan, you can simply not make the payment in the next instalment window. Please note any instalments already paid are non-refundable.
