Updated: 5 April 2023
Introduction
These Terms and Conditions of Entry (the “Terms”) are legally binding and contain the agreement between all attendees (“guest(s)”/“you”/“your”) of Nocturne Live to be held on 14-18th June 2023 at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire (the “Event”) and Nocturne Live Events Limited (company number 08832956) with its registered address at c/o U-Live 3 Pancras Square, London N1C 4AG (“Promoter”/we”/ “us”/”our”).
Please read these Terms carefully as all Tickets to the Event are sold subject to these Terms, and they are deemed accepted by you (on your behalf and on behalf of everyone for whom you are purchasing a Ticket) upon purchase of your Ticket to the Event. They should be read in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the authorised ticket agent from which you purchased your Ticket which can be found on the ticket agent’s website. If these Terms are inconsistent with the terms of the ticket agent, these Terms will take priority.
We reserve the right to vary these from time to time without notice and at our sole discretion. Updates will be published on the Event websites and the date at the top of these Terms will be updated to reflect the date of the lates amendments.
Any directives or statements printed on the Tickets or posted or announced at or in relation to the Event, also form part of these Terms.
In the instance of a breach of any of the Terms, we reserve the right to cancel the Ticket(s) and eject the offender(s) and retain all monies paid.
As used herein, “Ticket” means a paper, mobile/bar code, email, wristband or such other form of proof of entry that becomes available on the market from time to time which grants you entry to the Event (or in the case of a parking Ticket, to the applicable parking area).
Age Policy
The following age policies shall apply for the Event. Any adult accompanying a person as required under this section 2 must provide proof of age by showing an identification document acceptable to us (“ID”) acceptable to us:
NOCTURNE LIVE: Any person under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult over the age of 18. ‘Babes in arms’ do not require a Ticket, all other persons require a valid Ticket for entry.
We strongly advise that persons aged 17 or below obtain the permission of a parent or legal guardian before attending the Event.
We only accept the following forms of ID: Valid Photo Driving Licence, Valid Provisional Photo Driving Licence, Valid Passport, Valid PASS card from the National Proof of Age Standards Scheme (this is the best form of ID to bring if you don’t want to bring a valuable document). More information on how to obtain your PASS card can be found here. ID must be original. No copies or photos will be accepted. We reserve the right to refuse admission if, in our opinion (including that of any third parties instructed by us) there is any doubt that the Ticket holder is under the applicable entry age requirement. In such instance, you will not be entitled to a refund and your Ticket will be invalidated.
We and our suppliers operate a strict Challenge 25 policy across all bars at the Events and valid ID is required to buy and drink alcohol.
Anyone under the age of 18 caught drinking or in the possession of alcohol will have the alcohol confiscated and may be ejected (together with, at our discretion, anyone in the same party) from the Event without any refund.
Anyone over the age of 18 caught buying alcohol for someone under the age of 18 will be ejected (together with, at our discretion, anyone in the same party) from the Event without any refund.
It is your responsibility to check the suitability of the Event for you and any children in your party (if permitted) regardless of official age restrictions, this includes considering the type of audience the Event is likely to attract and whether such an audience is a suitable environment for everyone in your party. You will not be entitled to a refund if any aspect of the Event, including the behaviour of other attendees, causes offence to you or any children on whose behalf you have purchased Tickets.
Ticket Purchase
Only guests holding a valid Ticket will be admitted to the Event. You must retain your Ticket on you at all times during the Event. If you are using a mobile Ticket, it is your responsibility to ensure you have a sufficiently powered mobile device enabling you to show your Ticket for the entire duration of the Event.
Tickets are not exchangeable, refundable or transferable. Re-sale or attempted re-sale is not allowed, unless expressly authorised by us (at our discretion) via Tixel, our only official Ticket reseller. Any attempt to exchange or transfer your Ticket in breach of this section shall result in your Ticket (and the Ticket of anyone in your party) being void (resulting in the Ticket not being valid for entry, and, if already entered, ejection from the Event) without refund. If you are buying or selling a Ticket from an official Ticket reseller, please read their terms and conditions carefully. Any Ticket purchased via a payment plan might not be eligible for resale even if paid in full. Any Tickets part paid for are not eligible for resale.
Tickets, wristbands and/or other forms of rights to attend the Event are personal, revocable licences granted by us to each Ticket holder and shall at all times remain our property. For security purposes, we reserve the right to recall any accreditation or other rights to attend the Event at any time.
You are prohibited from using your Tickets as part of any promotion, competition, advertisement or give away, or as part of any product or service package, or for commercial gain, without our express written permission. Any attempt to do so will result in your Ticket (and the Ticket of anyone in your party) being void (resulting in the Ticket not being valid for entry, and, if already entered, ejection from the Event) without refund.
We are not liable for lost, stolen or defaced Tickets or wristbands. If you lose or damage your Ticket or wristband, you will not be able to re-enter the Event site (or campsite, where applicable). All Tickets and/or wristbands will be checked when entering and leaving the Event, including the campsite (if applicable). Replacement wristbands will only be issued at the box office if the original wristband is still on the guest’s wrist at the time of request and may incur a charge, and our decision in this regard is final.
Ticket price and availability may be subject to change without notice prior to purchase.
Your Ticket may be invalidated without refund if any part of it is removed, defaced, altered or damaged, whether accidental or not. It is your responsibility to keep your Ticket safe and in its original condition.
Upon purchase, please check Tickets carefully as mistakes cannot always be rectified after purchase. Should you realise you have made a mistake during the purchase process, please contact your point of purchase as soon as you realise so that we may try to assist you. We may not be able to respond to such requests for assistance during or immediately prior to the Event.
Tickets are not issued on a sale or return basis and refunds will not be made on returned Tickets unless provided for under these Terms.
Ownership or possession of a Ticket does not confer any rights (by implication or otherwise) on you to use, alter, copy or otherwise deal with any of the symbols, trademarks, logos and/or intellectual property appearing on the Ticket.
Tickets may be restricted to a maximum number per household or per credit card. These restrictions will be notified to you by our authorised Ticket agents before you make your booking. We reserve the right to cancel Tickets purchased in excess of this number without prior notice of such cancellation.
Groups
The guest making the booking, when booking on behalf of other people, is responsible for circulating these Terms to their party and making sure that they have read and understood them, particularly Terms which relate to Entry & Exit (section 5), Prohibited Items & Unacceptable Behaviour (section 6), Accessibility Requirements (section 17), Epidemic/Pandemic including Covid-19 (section 19), Refunds (section 20) and Liability (section 22).

For your safety and the safety of other guests, we reserve the right to conduct a security search of guests, their clothing, bags and any other items that we reasonably deem necessary at the entrance gates to the Event site, and generally during the course of the Event. Refusal to consent to such searches will result in the non-consenting Ticket holders being denied entry (resulting in the Ticket not being valid for entry, and, if already entered, ejection from the Event) without refund.
There will be no admission to the Event before the designated opening times on any day of the Event. Box Office times to be confirmed.
