Other Information
VIP tickets in general are down to a limited allocation due to the nature of the tickets and the exclusivity of the product. With this in mind, if there are no VIP tickets available then this will mean that the allocation has been sold and we cannot provide any further tickets. If this scenario crops up then you can recheck with the relevant ticket agents closer to the time of the event, but in most cases, it is unlikely that further tickets will become available.
Working with various ticketing sites and in turn hundreds of venues, we aim to provide as much access information as we possibly can. We are always looking at ways to improve our accessible information. If you have any suggestions at all about how we can develop our services, we would love to hear from you. Please email us here
