POLICIES

For Box Office / Ticket buying polices terms and conditions, please see here.

ADMISSION
The Forum reserves the right to refuse admission, and to request any customer / ticket holder to leave the building at any time. An instance where we might ask a customer to leave is if a ticket holder appears to be under the influence of alcohol / narcotics and/or is acting aggressively, carrying offensive weapons or illegal substances. The Forum reserves the right to refuse re-admission to any person not in possession of a ticket or the retained portion of the ticket required for re-admission.

Tickets purchased for an event at The Forum are for your personal use only. Action may be taken if a person purchasing tickets is suspected of reselling these tickets for profit, or at an inflated price. Tickets are non-transferable, and must not be resold. Tickets bought from entities that are not affiliated with the Show and/or Venue are likely to be resold tickets. In this case, entry cannot be guaranteed and The Forum reserve the right to refuse entry as the tickets are not from an authorised allocation. If you have any doubt about the validity of tickets you are intending to purchase, please contact the Venue to ensure you only purchase valid tickets. Contact information can be found under the 'Venue' section of our website.

Latecomers may be admitted at a suitable point in the performance at the discretion of the Front of House Manager.
