What happens if my gift card or ticket is lost, stolen, damaged or goes unused?

Unfortunately we cannot give you a refund for lost, stolen, damaged or unused gift cards or tickets. Gift cards are preloaded with value, and as such, should be treated as cash.

What if I change my mind after I have placed an order online?

Unfortunately your purchase cannot be cancelled. We ask that you are sure of your intended purchase before proceeding to order.

No. Tickets and gift cards are non-exchangeable.
