Event Policy

Tickets are issued subject to the Rules and Regulations of the venue, event organiser and promoter, as well as Lagos Fringe. Purchase of any ticket(s), constitutes acceptance of these: 

  1. Please check your ticket immediately after purchase as mistakes cannot always be rectified. 
  2. The handling charge or booking fee for purchasing tickets is a service fee for use of the Lagos Fringe Box Office and cannot be refunded in any circumstance, except at the sole discretion of Lagos Fringe. 
  3. Tickets can only be exchanged after purchase at the discretion of Lagos Fringe Box Office and will incur an administration charge for doing so. Tickets cannot be exchanged less than 24 hours before a performance. Tickets can only be exchanged for a different performance date for the same event the original tickets were purchased for. All tickets issued will be e-tickets, sent to the email provided when purchasing tickets. You can also access your tickets in the account area of our website. 
  4. Lagos Fringe cannot be held responsible for any lost or stolen tickets. Lagos Fringe reserves the right to cancel any ticket bookings which it reasonably suspects to have been made fraudulently.  
  5. If an event is cancelled or rescheduled, Lagos Fringe will use reasonable means to notify ticket holders of the cancellation once we have received the relevant authorisation from the event promoter/organiser. Please note that we cannot guarantee those ticket holders will be informed of such cancellation in advance of an event. 
  6. Where an event has been cancelled by the artist/performer/venue, ticket holders will be contacted regarding reimbursement for tickets purchased.  
  7. Where an event has been cancelled by no fault of the artist/performer/venue or Lagos Fringe, in the first instance, Lagos Fringe will endeavour to provide you with a ticket to an alternative performance date of the same event to attend. In circumstances where this is not applicable, Lagos Fringe will contact the ticket holder to provide a suitable resolution.  
  8. Tickets are sold subject to the management’s right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its control without being obliged to refund monies or exchange tickets. 
  9. Unauthorised use of photographic and recording equipment at events is prohibited. Tapes or films may be destroyed. Laser pens, mobile phones, dogs (except guide dogs) and patron’s own food and drink may also be prohibited, though this is at the ultimate discretion of the venue. 
  10. Ticket holders’ consent as members of a live audience to any officially sanctioned photography, filming and/or sound recording that may be taking place at the venue or during the event. If you would like to request the removal of your likeness from Lagos Fringe’s database, please contact [email protected] and Lagos Fringe will consider requests on a case-by-case basis. 
  11. The event promoter/organiser, venue Management and Lagos Fringe accept no responsibility whatsoever for the loss or damage of any personal property. 
  12. Purchase of a ticket gives the ticket holder a right only to a seat of a value corresponding to that stated on the ticket and the venue management reserves the right to provide alternative seats to those specified on the ticket. 
  13. The ticket holder must comply with all relevant statutes, safety announcements and venue regulations whilst attending the event. Lagos Fringe is not responsible for any non-compliance and will not refund tickets in the case of non-admittance. 
  14. Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per person. Lagos Fringe reserves the right to cancel tickets purchased in excess of this number. 
  15. Lagos Fringe reserves the right to recover any difference in price that may occur in the event of a discrepancy between a price listed by Lagos Fringe and that charged by the event promoter/organiser. In the case of a refusal to pay the difference, Lagos Fringe reserves the right to cancel any such booking whereby the monies paid do not cover the actual price. 
  16. Please note that for tickets purchased to performances suitable only for persons aged 18 and over, any ticket-holder unable to present valid identification may not be admitted to the event. Lagos Fringe is not responsible for verifying the age of attendees and will not refund tickets in the case of non-admittance. 
  17. Latecomers may not be admitted until a suitable break in the performance. Some performances may contain no suitable breaks. Admittance is at the final discretion of the event promoter and venue management. Lagos Fringe is not responsible for identifying which performances do not admit latecomers and will not refund tickets in the case of non-admittance. 
  18. Breach of the above terms and conditions, or any unacceptable behaviour likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury to other persons shall enable the venue management or event promoter/organiser to eject ticket holders from the venue. Their decision is final, and Lagos Fringe will not refund tickets in the case of ejection/non-admittance. 
  19. After an event has taken place, the refund or exchange of Tickets is at the sole discretion of the event promoter/organiser, regardless of attendance or not. 
  20. Once an event has been attended, any refund or exchange of Tickets is at the sole discretion of the event promoter/organiser. Whilst Lagos Fringe, as ticket agents, will pass on any complaints to the event promoter/organiser, Lagos Fringe is unable to compel them to act and any further correspondence should be directed to them. 
  21. Lagos Fringe, acting as an agent on behalf of the event promoter/organiser, under no circumstance accepts responsibility for the content or quality of any events. No refunds will be issued after the fact for events the ticket holder deems unsuitable or of substandard quality. 
  22. As a time-limited purchase, customers should be aware that purchases of event tickets are exempt from the Consumer Contract Regulations. Lagos Fringe will endeavour to exchange tickets to another event wherever possible. In such circumstances, Lagos Fringe’s usual administrative exchange fees will apply. 
  23. Lagos Fringe on occasion may offer a Credit Note for future services in lieu of a refund. This is valid for a specified period, which is entirely at the discretion of Lagos Fringe, and only for use by the designated beneficent. Once any such issued Credit Notes have passed the stated expiry date, the value of any unused credit remaining shall revert to Lagos Fringe. 
  24. All complaints are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the outcome will be decided at the sole discretion of Lagos Fringe. Complaints can be escalated to the Lagos Fringe Board of Trustees on request. Any outcomes to this will be final.
