Before purchasing tickets, carefully review the event and seat selection details. Ticketmaster does not issue an exchange or refund for a lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed ticket (including where a ticket does not arrive in the mail) unless (a) Ticketmaster can identify at the Venue the actual seat corresponding to the ticket for that event, or in the case of a general admission ticket, Ticketmaster is able to identify (acting reasonably) and cancel the relevant ticket, and (b) you give Ticketmaster a reasonable amount of notice ahead of the event that the ticket has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, in which case Ticketmaster will issue a replacement ticket to you for a reasonable administration fee. A change in personal circumstances does not entitle a ticket holder to return or exchange a ticket.

Subject to any statutory rights of refund (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Australian Consumer Law), if an event takes place then generally there is no right to a refund or exchange, including where a ticket holder cannot attend because of adverse weather conditions.
