Unaccompanied Minors

- Children under 12 cannot attend a screening unaccompanied after 7pm (regardless of certification).
Children on Lap
- Arts Margaret River policy is that any child that is two years of age requires a ticket. Children under two years of age enter free of charge, and therefore do not require a ticket. However they will be expected to sit on an adult’s lap as they will not be issued with a seat.
- Individual touring companies may have varying policies related to this, so you may find that different age stipulations may apply. Please contact the venue prior to attending an event to check. If your child does not require a ticket, they will be expected to sit on an adult’s lap as they will not be issued with a seat.
Refunds, Cancellations and Changes
Patrons should be aware that refunds are only given in accordance with the Live Performance Australia (LPA) Ticketing Code of Practice and that exchanges could incur a fee per ticket.
The Presenter of an event may add, withdraw or substitute artists (including the opening act/s) or vary advertised programs, performance times, venue, seating arrangements or audience capacity. Tickets will not be exchanged or refunded as a result of these changes, except as provided for in the LPA Code or as required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law).
If an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated and provided Arts Margaret River receives authorisation from the Presenter, Arts Margaret River will attempt to notify ticket holders of the cancellation, rescheduling or relocation. However, Arts Margaret River does not guarantee that ticket holders will be informed of such cancellation, rescheduling or relocation prior to the event.
You may be entitled at law or under the LPA Code to a refund where an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated. To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), neither Arts Margaret River nor the venue will reimburse you for auxiliary expenses (such as the cost of travel, car-parking, child-care and accommodation) or other consequential loss suffered by you in connection with your attendance or non-attendance at an event. Arts Margaret River recommends that you obtain ticket and/or travel insurance for those expenses.
To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), neither Arts Margaret River nor the venue are liable to refund to you any amount beyond the face value of the ticket plus any transaction fee.
If Arts Margaret River reasonably forms the view that a ticket has been:
- Purchased with a stolen credit card;
- Sold in violation of clause 30 (No Scalping or Other Unauthorised Sales) of these terms; or
- Has been otherwise purchased or acquired fraudulently,
Arts Margaret River may cancel the ticket. Where Arts Margaret River reasonably forms the view that the ticket was purchased with a stolen credit card, Arts Margaret River will take reasonable steps to refund the ticket price to that credit card unless it is unable to do so (for example, where the credit card has been cancelled).
You agree not to re-sell any tickets for profit and that Tickets must be purchased from an authorised ticket seller. Tickets purchased from Ticketmaster Resale, Viagogo, Ticketbis, eBay, Gumtree, Tickets Australia or any other unauthorised re-seller may be cancelled without notice and/or the holder may be refused admission to the Event.
