Application of Terms
1. By purchasing a ticket through Eventbrite’s website, you acknowledge and agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions.
2. Tickets are sold or issued by Eventbrite as the agent for CSQ which is managing, producing, promoting, presenting or otherwise providing the service, event or performance for which the ticket is sold or issued. The name of the event and/or the venue to which your ticket relates is usually shown on the front of the ticket but is also available from Eventbrite.
All ticketing complaints and claims, and your legal rights, are as against CSQ, not Eventbrite, except where you have a legal right against Eventbrite under the Australian Consumer Law or another law.
3. The Venue’s terms and conditions of entry are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions and apply to your ticket. The Venue’s terms and conditions of entry are available online or you can ask CSQ for a copy. For events at BCEC the terms and conditions of entry are available at https://www.bcec.com.au/visit/conditions-of-entry/.
Ticket Purchases
Tickets are only valid if purchased through Eventbrite.
4. Ticket sales may be limited to a specified number of tickets. Eventbrite may cancel or refuse to accept orders which it believes are placed in excess of any such limits.
5. Ticket proceeds are held by Eventbrite and will be refunded if the event does not proceed, as required by the Australian Consumer Law.
6. Once confirmed, your ticket and any transaction fee will not be refunded or exchanged, except as provided for in these Terms and Conditions, or as required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law).
7. Bookings are subject to availability.
Pricing and Payment
8. Prices are subject to change without notice.
9. A transaction fee may apply to your ticket purchase and you will be notified of the applicable fee prior to purchase. If we agree to exchange your ticket, an exchange fee may apply.
10. You warrant that you have the authority to make payment for your ticket and that you own/hold or have express permission of the owner/holder of the credit card or other payment facility used to purchase the ticket.
11. If the amount you pay for your ticket is incorrect (regardless of whether the error arose due to an advertising error online or otherwise communicated to you, human error or a technical malfunction), CSQ may cancel the ticket and refund to you the amount that you paid and may offer a replacement ticket to you at the correct price.
Delivery, Collection and Printing of Tickets
12. As tickets are self-printed e-tickets, then in the event that a duplicate copy of this ticket appears, CSQ and the Venue reserves the right to request proof of identity and proof of purchase. Unauthorised duplicate ticket holders will be refused entry to the Venue.
User Account
13. Prior to purchasing a ticket through the Eventbrite website, you may be required to register for a user account and to nominate an email address and password for your account.

22. If an event is cancelled, rescheduled or significantly relocated and provided EventBrite receives authorisation from CSQ, EventBrite and CSQ will attempt to notify ticket holders of the cancellation, rescheduling or relocation.

EventBrite and CSQ recommend that you obtain ticket and/or travel insurance for those expenses.
24. Subject to clause 30, EventBrite in conjunction with CSQ will provide a refund or exchange where you advise CSQ, within a reasonable period of time before the event, that you or any other members of your booking party are required to isolate or quarantine under laws aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19 (and the event falls within the isolation/quarantine period).
25. The refund or exchange provided under Clause 29:
a) will only apply in respect of the tickets for you and/or the booking party members who are affected by one or more of the circumstances set out in Clause 29;
b) will not apply in the case that the relevant circumstances were known to you and/or the relevant booking party members prior to the ticket purchase; and
c) will not apply in the case that you and/or any of the booking party members attend the Venue for the event and are refused entry, or asked to leave, on the basis that CSQ and/or the Venue reasonably forms the view that:
i. any of the circumstances set out in Clause 29 apply; or
ii. you or any of the other booking party members have failed to comply with any COVID-19 safety requirements or directions.
26. To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), neither EventBrite nor CSQ are liable to exchange or refund to you any amount beyond the face value of the ticket plus any transaction fee.
