2. COVID19 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

1. Before attending an Event, guests must familiarise themselves with and comply with the latest rules and guidance issued by the UK government regarding COVID19.

2. By attending an Event at a Venue, all guests are acknowledging their consent to, and agree to abide by, the safety precautions that have been adopted by that Venue, which may include (but not be limited to) wearing of face coverings and non-invasive COVID19 status certification checks. Safety measures for each  Venue are posted on our website for such Venue and specific guest requirements will be set forth in the pre-visit email notifications.  Failure to comply with any such precautions could result in guests being asked to leave the Venue. We further reserve the right to refuse entry to any person that refuses to comply with our safety protocols.

3. Any safety measures that are being and/or have been introduced at Venues are intended to minimise the risk of contracting COVID19 but this risk cannot be completely eradicated. By purchasing a ticket for an Event, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID19 exists in any public place where people are present, and that you and those in your party voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID19 and agree not to hold Shaft Of Wit Ltd, the Venue, Shaft Of Wit Ltd’s  Event Partners or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.   Anyone attending an Event acknowledges that they do so at their own risk.

3. COVID19 EXCHANGES

1. In line with Government guidance, we ask that guests do not attend if they or someone in their immediate co-habiting party is required to self-isolate or experiencing any COVID19 symptoms. To ensure our guests are able to book with confidence, we have instituted a temporary COVID19 exchange policy which should be read in conjunction with the terms in our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

2. If you are unable to attend an Event because you are self-isolating or experiencing COVID19 symptoms, you must inform us at least 24 hours prior to the Event. In these circumstances, Shaft Of Wit Ltd Tickets will permit You to (i) exchange Your tickets for the same Event at a later date; or (ii) if such exchange is not possible or not practical, e.g., the Event is one performance a rescheduled date is inconvenient, exchange your Ticket for an alternate show of your choice (subject to availability); or (iii) opt for a credit voucher. No exchange fee will apply.
