Terms and Conditions

Tickets Refunds, Cancellations & Rescheduled Events

The Black Box will only refund a ticket if an event has been cancelled.  Where an event is rescheduled tickets purchased will automatically be transferred to the new date, Ticketholders will be notified of the new date and transfer of tickets via email. Ticketholders will also be offered the option of a gift voucher for the face value of the ticket only, to be used for upcoming shows sold through the Black Box Ticketsolve platform. In instances where refunds are applicable ticketholders have 10 days working days to request refunds. 

Cancelled Events & Refunds

We will directly contact the named booker for any event that is cancelled. Please ensure we have the most up-to-date contact information for you. For cancelled events, we offer the option of a full refund* (within 10 working days), or gift voucher, or to donate your ticket value to support the future work of The Black Box and our Outreach & Engagement projects that support people with learning disabilities. If you have requested a refund, and not heard from us within 10 days, please get in touch.

Refunds are made in accordance with the original payment method. As soon as the refund has been processed, you will receive an automated email to confirm the ticket(s) being returned, the refund amount, and the refund method.

For orders paid with card

Our refund confirmation emails only hold the last four digits of the card used at the time of payment – this is to help you identify the account to expect the refund. Even if you have had a new card issued since, you can be confident that the refund will still land in the same account. Refunds can take between three and five working days to appear on a bank statement, so please don’t panic if you can’t trace it right away. If you have paid for tickets using an account that you can no longer access – please contact the box office and we will arrange an alternative refund method.

For orders paid with cash

If you purchased tickets using cash, a member of the sales team will contact you to collect details to refund your account using BACs (electronic bank transfer). BACs refunds will take longer to process, due to the manual nature of this refund method.

For orders paid with a gift voucher

Ticket purchases using a gift voucher will qualify for a new gift voucher to be issued. This will be emailed to you in the form of a new voucher code, with a two-year validity from the date of issue.

Rescheduled Dates

The Box Office will automatically exchange your tickets across to the new schedule. You will receive an email to confirm this – and tickets will be valid for the new date.
