Eventfinda Ticket Protection Terms & Conditions

Overview

These Ticket Protection Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to your purchase and, if applicable, refund of a Protected Ticket. These Terms are in addition to, and form part of, Eventfinda Limited’s (“Eventfinda”, “we”, “us”, “our”) ticket purchase terms and conditions (available here) and our terms of service (available here) (together, “Standard Terms”).

Nothing in these Terms has the effect of limiting the application of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or any other consumer protection laws. The Standard Terms apply to all refund claims pursuant to your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other consumer protection laws.

If, at the time you made a Booking, you paid the additional ticket protection fee for that Booking and you are unable to attend the Booked Event as a result of any of the circumstances set out in the When we will refund section of these Terms, and you meet the other requirements for a refund set out in these Terms, we will refund the Ticket Cost to you.
