3 – Friend of The Fisher

3.1 When you become a Friend of The Fisher you will be issued with a members’ card which will carry your name and expiry date. This will be given to you in person if registering at our box office or you can collect it from the box office the next time you are at the theatre. We do not currently post out membership packs.

3.2 You agree not to pass on this card to anyone not part of the scheme so that they might benefit from any discounts within it. If the Fisher Theatre believes you are sharing your membership card to secure benefits for anything within the scheme, we reserve the right to cancel your membership with immediate effect, without refunding any joining fee.

3.3 On renewal of your annual membership, we will issue you with a new membership card and the previous card will no longer be accepted.

3.4 Distance Contracts: If you purchase a Friend package either online or by telephone (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, if you purchase a Friend package in person at the Fisher Theatre box office), you have a right to cancel your membership within 14 days from the day after purchase (the “cooling-off period”). If you cancel your membership within the cooling-off period then, subject to the below, you will receive a full refund.

3.5 Using Friend benefits within your 14 day “Cooling Off” Period: If you use any listed benefits of your package but then cancel your package within the cooling-off period, the Fisher Theatre reserves the right to deduct the face value price of such benefits from the sum refunded to you in respect of such cancellation. You acknowledge and agree that by using any listed benefits within the first 14 days, you are expressly requesting that your benefits commence during the cooling off period.

3.6 Availability: Tickets are subject to availability. We reserve the right to limit the number of tickets any one person can buy to ensure a fair usage policy for all.

3.7 Priority Notice and Booking: Where possible, we will attempt to notify Friends of upcoming performances at the Fisher Theatre before these are announced to the general public. This is not always possible and sometimes our performances may be announced via social media or our website without Friends being notified.

3.8 Offers and Concessions: Concessions cannot be used on ticket offers. We are confident that the offers we promote financially outweigh any concession you may be entitled to. In the unlikely event that you purchase a package rather than a concession, and the concession turns out to be a cheaper option, we will rectify this transaction on the system and credit your account with any monies owing. In the event you use concession priced tickets where package deals calculate cheaper, the Fisher Theatre will make a decision on an individual basis whether we can change your booking.

3.9 Resales: Tickets must not be resold for profit or commercial gain. Failure to comply will make the ticket and transaction void and we reserve the right to revoke your membership without refunding your joining fee if we believe you are benefiting from reselling tickets from the scheme.

3.10 Exchanges and Refunds: We will exchange tickets for another performance of the same production if you return your tickets to the Ticket Office 48 hours before the original performance date. Please note that we can only action an exchange once we are in receipt of the original ticket.

3.11 Once purchased tickets cannot be refunded. We will only offer ticket refunds for cancelled shows. We regret that we will not be able to offer a refund or exchange on your ticket(s) if you are refused entry to a performance due to being late.

3.12 Data Usage and Evaluation: Friends Scheme communications are done digitally through a newsletter and therefore we need your permission to use your email to communicate these benefits to you. If you do not give us permission to use your email address or elect to unsubscribe from the newsletters, the Fisher Theatre accepts no responsibility to inform you of the benefits through any other communications channel. As a result, you will miss out on the promotion of the benefits of the scheme. All emails you receive regarding the scheme will be from the Fisher Theatre.

3.13 Attending the Theatre – Latecomers: Due to the layout of some spaces and the nature of our building, the Management reserves the right to refuse admission or re-entry to a performance. Latecomers may either be asked to wait until a suitable break in the performance, or be refused admission.

3.14 Collecting tickets at the Box Office: Tickets may be collected from the Box Office up to 10 minutes before the start time of shows. We recommend picking up your tickets at least half an hour before the performance begins. Please bring along the card you paid with and proof of eligibility for any discounted tickets.
