Whisky Wine & Fire Ticketing Terms and Conditions

Purchasing tickets

1. Tickets you purchase are for personal use. Except if we agree otherwise, you and your party must not re-sell or transfer (or seek to re-sell or transfer) the tickets in breach of the applicable terms.A breach of this condition will entitle the Melbourne Racing Club (the MRC) to cancel the tickets without prior notification, refund, compensation or liability.
2. In addition to the ticket price your order may require payment of a booking fee per ticket, a transaction fee per order and/or other supplementary fees which may apply to the event. Those fees are not refundable except as set out below.
3. If you order or buy more tickets than the maximum permitted per person, per card or per household, we may cancel some or all of the order or tickets, in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid.
4. To prevent fraud and protect the MRC and you, we may carry out checks and/or you may be asked to provide additional information (such as a copy of a credit or debit card statement) after your booking so we can verify your purchase. If we suspect fraud we may cancel any order or tickets.
5. You must inform the MRC of any change of address, contact phone number or email address, both before and after receipt of the tickets. Our contact details are below. Our preferred method to contact you is email, so you should take care to provide a current, valid email address and be aware that your email filter settings may treat our emails as spam or direct them to your junk folder.
6. An order for tickets is not complete until accepted by us. We try to ensure all prices are accurate but errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of tickets you have ordered we will use reasonable endeavours to inform you as soon as possible and we may either cancel the order (in which case you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid) or give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price.
7. The event may be filmed or recorded. Buying a ticket affirms your consent to the filming and sound recording of yourself as a member of the audience. If you have any objection, should this happen when you attend this event, please contact a member of the MRC’s management.
8. Your purchase is also subject to the MRC’s General Conditions of Attendance and the Ticket Refund and Exchange Policy which are set out on the MRC’s website. To the extent of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and the Ticket Refund and Exchange Policy, these terms shall apply to the extent of any inconsistency.
9. Without derogating from the responsibilities specified in paragraph 22 of the General Conditions of Attendance and the associated liability and indemnity provisions applying under the Conditions of Attendance in respect of that paragraph, persons (and therefore, as appropriate, responsible adults) who are accompanying minors are responsible for the behaviour of minors while on the licensed premises. Responsible adults shall take particular care given the nature of certain activations at the event, especially in respect of fire sculptures. Due care should be exercised by the responsible adult, and we will not assume responsibility or liability (and shall be indemnified and held harmless by you) where the responsible adult has failed to discharge its obligations (a) under this paragraph, and/or (b) to generally act vigilantly and responsibly in respect of the supervision of the behaviour of minors, which results or may result in any loss or injury or any other detriment to any relevant person.

Delivery and collection

9. Purchased tickets on tickets.mrc.net.au will be dispatched to you electronically.
10. We will try to dispatch tickets to you promptly by email but we may, where reasonable, make tickets available for collection at the box office instead of posting them to you if:

• posting is impractical due to timing or circumstances beyond our control (e.g. strikes); or
• necessary for reasons of identification; or
• we are otherwise unable to email tickets to you for any reason.

We will use reasonable endeavours to notify you by phone, email or in writing (using the contact details provided by you) if this becomes necessary. Please note the conditions for collection at the event in paragraph 12 below.

11. To collect tickets at the event, the cardholder must present the card used to book the tickets as identification or a valid driver’s license listing the name of the purchaser.
12. Always check your tickets upon receipt and advise us promptly of any errors. Mistakes when ordering cannot always be corrected and we will not be required to make any corrections unless we deem otherwise in our absolute discretion.

Cancellation Rights and Refunds

13. Tickets cannot be transferred, exchanged, or refunded once purchased other than for the reasons set out in these terms and conditions or in the Ticket Refund and Exchange Policy. 
14. If the event takes place but you do not receive the tickets you have purchased for any of following reasons you will be refunded the ticket price and any booking, transaction or supplementary fees you have paid:

• the tickets have been sent to an email address different to the one you specified and you tell us within a reasonable period, as set out at paragraph 10 above, but replacement tickets are not provided; or
• your tickets are not dispatched and no arrangements are made for the tickets to be available for collection at the event.

Cancellation, change or postponement of an event

15. You should always check that an event is going ahead at the scheduled date, time and venue.
16. Subject to clause 17, should your entire session be cancelled due to inclement weather and/ or safety concerns (at the absolute discretion of the event organiser), your tickets will be valid for any remaining session of Whisky Wine & Fire or you may request a refund. To the extent that your ticket purchase relates to the final session of Whisky Wine & Fire, you will be entitled to a full refund of your ticket purchase price.
17. Clause 16 does not apply to tickets received free of charge. Should any session be cancelled, rescheduled, changed or moved, holders of tickets received free of charge will not be entitled to any replacement tickets, refunds or exchanges.
18. If the MRC cancels an event or makes significant changes to the venue, date, show time the MRC will use reasonable endeavours to inform you. This will usually be done by email.
19. If an event is rescheduled, changed or moved we will address the matter as contemplated by clause 16 and our Ticket Refund and Exchange Policy (except in relation to tickets received free of charge in which clause 17 shall apply). Please note that the Booking Fee and any Transaction Fees are not refundable in these circumstances.

Refunds

19. No refunds or exchanges will be allowed unless otherwise stated in these Terms and Conditions or the Ticket Refund and Exchange Policy.
20. Any refund will usually be paid, using the same method you used to buy the tickets, within 30 days of the original date of the event or the date that we receive your returned tickets, whichever is later.
21. No refunds will be offered under any circumstances if you fail to comply with the all terms and conditions applicable to those tickets, the venue or the event (see paragraph 22 below).
22. Amongst other things you will need to comply with health and safety rules and any security requirements (including security searches for the safety of those attending the event) and more particularly described in the General Conditions of Attendance. The MRC will have rights to refuse admission or eject you in certain circumstances and these are likely to include if you are involved with abusive, threatening, drunken or other anti-social behaviour, or carry offensive weapons or illegal or prohibited substances or make unauthorised audio, video or photographic recordings.
23. Before you finalise your booking, please read all the information that applies to the event and/or ticket. If you or any member of your party has particular requirements please raise these when booking and we will make best efforts to address your query. There can be no guarantee that requirements can be met if notified at the event.
24. When you receive your tickets check the details carefully. When attending the event, carry proof of age if appropriate.

The purchase by you of tickets and these terms and conditions (and any contractual or non-contractual matters arising in relation to these terms and conditions) are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia and any disputes arising out of any transaction between you and the MRC are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of competent courts of that jurisdiction
