MLB Ticket Terms and Conditions

 

These Conditions govern all Tickets issued for the Event and the admission of a Ticket Holder to the Venue to attend the Event. These Conditions may be printed in an abbreviated form. In the case of any conflict or ambiguity between these Conditions and the abbreviated form printed on a Ticket, these Conditions will prevail. All capitalised terms used in these Conditions and in the abbreviated form shall have the meanings given to them in paragraph 9 of these Conditions. All Tickets are issued by or on behalf of MLB. Any person who purchases or possesses a Ticket, or uses or attempts to use any Ticket, shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to comply with these Conditions in full and without condition.

Ticket Purchase and Delivery for Tickets Purchased from the MLB Sellers

1.1 Tickets may be purchased only from MLB (via the Official Ticketing Agent) or from the Authorised Agents or through any other sale or transfer mechanism authorised in writing by MLB (collectively, MLB Sellers), or as provided in paragraph 2.1 below. Tickets purchased or obtained from any other source shall be void and may be seized or cancelled without refund or compensation.

1.2 MLB reserves the right to limit, at the time of purchase, the maximum number of Tickets that any person may purchase for the Event. Tickets may be limited to a maximum number per person, per payment card and/or per household. MLB reserves the right to cancel without prior notice and without refund any Tickets purchased in excess of this number, unless the purchase of such excess was due to MLB’s error.

1.3 Tickets may not be purchased by any Minor. The nominated payment card or the registered bank account used to purchase Tickets must be registered in the name and address of the Ticket Purchaser. MLB reserves the right to refuse any application for Tickets from any person who fails to comply with this condition or to cancel without prior notice and without refund any Tickets purchased in breach of this condition.

1.4 Once payment in full has been received by MLB or by the Authorised Agents, confirmation of the sale and the Ticket Purchaser’s booking reference number will be notified to the Ticket Purchaser by email or in writing.

1.5 The sale or other issuance of any Ticket is final and non-refundable except as outlined in paragraphs 6.1 to 6.8 of these Conditions or as required by English law. MLB reserves the right not to replace or accept any Ticket that has been lost, stolen, forgotten, damaged, defaced or forged, or any Ticket which is unreadable, illegible or incomplete.

1.6 Tickets will be issued electronically only. Tickets will not be issued in hard copy. The Ticket Purchaser, or the Ticket Holder, is responsible for either:

1.6.1 ensuring that they have downloaded the Ticket(s) in good time prior to the Event; or

1.6.2 providing a valid email address for delivery of the Ticket(s) and ensuring that they are able to receive delivery of the Tickets by email (for example by ensuring that their email mailbox does not reject, bounce or otherwise prevent any relevant emails from being delivered, and by checking their email mailbox regularly (including junk or spam folders)).

1.7 If any Tickets have not been received five days before the Event, the Ticket Purchaser should contact the relevant customer service centre (details of which will be given to the Ticket Purchaser at the time of the confirmation of sale) quoting the booking reference number given to the Ticket Purchaser at the time of the confirmation of sale.

1.8 It is the Ticket Purchaser’s responsibility to check his/her Tickets; mistakes cannot always be rectified. Tickets should be checked on receipt and the Ticket Purchaser should contact the relevant customer service centre (details of which will be given to the Ticket Purchaser at the time of the confirmation of sale) as soon as possible if there is a mistake. Whilst MLB tries to ensure that pricing and ticketing information provided to Ticket Purchasers is correct at all times, errors may occasionally occur. If MLB discovers an error in the price or nature of a Ticket, MLB will inform the relevant Ticket Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable, and give the Ticket Purchaser the option of reconfirming his or her order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If MLB is unable to contact the Ticket Purchaser, it will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled and, if the order is cancelled in such circumstances, MLB will provide the Ticket Purchaser with a full refund.

Ticket Resale

2.1 The resale of Tickets is not permitted and offers to resell or attempts to resell Tickets are also not permitted, to the extent prohibited by any applicable law or regulation.

2.2 Any Ticket offered for sale or sold in breach of paragraph 2.1 of these Conditions may be cancelled by MLB and any Ticket Holder seeking to use the Ticket may be refused admission to or evicted from the Venue without refund or compensation and may also be liable to legal and/or disciplinary action.

2.3 Any resale of a Ticket on a secondary ticketing market must comply with the provisions of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

3.2 If a Ticket Holder fails to comply with the applicable Venue Regulations, he/she may be refused admission to the Venue or evicted from the Venue without refund or compensation.

COVID-19

7.1 COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place regardless of precautions that may be taken.

7.2 The Ticket Holder acknowledges and expressly assumes all risks that are in any way related to or arising from being exposed to or contracting COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease in the Venue. By using the Ticket or attending the Event, the Ticket Holder is acknowledging and confirming, both now and in the future, that the Ticket Holder understands and expressly assumes the risk that they may be exposed to COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease. The Ticket Holder expressly understands that these risks include contracting COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease and the associated dangers, medical complications and physical and mental injuries, both foreseen and unforeseen, that may result from contracting COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease. The Ticket Holder further acknowledges and understands that any interaction with the general public poses an elevated, inherent risk of being exposed to and contracting a Communicable Disease, including, but not limited to, COVID-19, that it cannot be guaranteed that the Ticket Holder will not be exposed, and that as such, potential exposure to or contraction of COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease are risks inherent in the Ticket Holder’s decision to use the Ticket that cannot be eliminated.

7.3 The Ticketholder acknowledges and agrees to comply with:

7.3.1 all relevant policies and protocols issued by MLB, and/or the Authorised Agents;

7.3.2 all current guidance of the United Kingdom Health Security Agency, and all applicable laws and policies of England and Wales; and

7.4 The Ticket Holder acknowledges and understands that, if infected with COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease, the Ticket Holder may infect others that they may subsequently come into contact with, even if they are not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness, and that the risk of infecting others remains at all times. Accordingly, the Ticket Holder agrees they will not attend the Event if within ten (10) days preceding the Event, they have:

7.4.1 tested positive or presumptively positive for COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease or been identified as a potential carrier of COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease;

7.4.2 experienced any symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease; or

Each Ticket Holder must show the completion of a full vaccination course using the NHS COVID pass on the NHS App or an internationally recognised equivalent to the NHS COVID Pass. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and is not adequate to demonstrate your vaccine status. If a Ticket Holder fails to provide evidence of a full vaccination course they may be refused admission to the Meet & Greet without refund or compensation.

8.5 In the event that any provision of these Conditions is declared void, ineffective or unenforceable in any respect by any competent court in any jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed to the extent necessary in that jurisdiction, and the remainder of these Conditions will remain in effect as if such provision had not been included and the validity, enforceability and/or legal effect of such remaining Conditions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
