Ticket Terms & Conditions

The following Terms and Conditions apply to all ticketed events organised by GRASS Cliftonville CIC.

Food & Drink

  • The Oval Bar serves a wide selection of drinks including beer, prosecco, wines, spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks.
  • Hot & cold drinks, ice cream, and treats are available at The Oval Kiosk.
  • We accept cash or card payments.

Seating

Please refer to the event description on Eventbrite for the types of seating available, as this will vary depending on the performance and type of event.

General Admission Tickets

Tickets are issued electronically as e-tickets and are strictly non-transferable and non-refundable. If it rains the event will go ahead and remember you will not receive a refund. Do not offer tickets for sale or for free on social media platforms, if this happens your tickets will be cancelled. If you can’t attend, please cancel your e-tickets on Eventbrite as this will allow people that have signed up to the waitlist to attend the event.

If you have not received your e-tickets 72 hours before the event, it is your responsibility to contact the event organiser. It is your responsibility to inform the event organiser of any change of details including address and email address.

Concession Tickets

We want to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy events at The Oval Bandstand & Lawns, so concession tickets may be available at a reduced rate for the following groups:

Children – Available for attendees aged 4 to 15 on the day of the event. We reserve the right to request reasonable proof of age and to charge the difference to the full ticket price where an incorrect ticket type has been purchased. Children aged 3 and under may attend free of charge and do not require a ticket. Attendees aged 16 and over require an adult ticket. We are unable to accommodate children aged 4 or under at theatrical or cinematic performances.

Senior Citizens – Available to guests aged 60 or over. Please bring reasonable proof of age, such as a bus pass, passport or driving licence.

Students – Available with a valid student or NUS ID. Please bring your card for verification on entry.

Disabled Guests – Available with reasonable supporting documentation, such as a PIP letter, Access Card or other equivalent supporting evidence. A complimentary carer ticket may also be available where eligibility requirements are met. Please refer to our Accessibility Policy for further information. Please note that Blue Badges alone are not accepted as eligibility evidence for complimentary carer tickets.

Unemployed Guests – Available with reasonable proof of eligibility, such as a current Jobseeker’s Allowance, Universal Credit or equivalent benefit award documentation.

Concessions, Discounts & Special Offers

  • Concession tickets may not be available for every event. Charity fundraisers and subsidised donation-based events, including selected Summer Sundays events, may be excluded where proceeds directly support charitable activity or community programming. Where concession tickets are available, this will always be clearly stated at the time of booking.
  • In addition, some third-party promoted events at The Oval Bandstand & Lawns may operate different ticketing arrangements and concession policies.
  • Follow our social media or sign up to our email newsletter for our Early Bird tickets, available at a reduced price.
  • From time to time we may introduce special offers or discounts to give you even better value. Please note that tickets already purchased won’t qualify for these additional offers.
  • Discounts and special offers are applied to full-price tickets only. Only one discount, concession, or membership offer can be used per ticket, and they can’t be combined in the same transaction.
  • All discounts are applied automatically at the time of booking — whether online, over the phone, or in person at the Café Box Office.
