Exchanges and Refunds
Tickets are non-refundable, unless an event is cancelled or rescheduled. We can exchange your tickets to a different day of the same production / screening, but tickets cannot be exchanged between different productions / screening. This is provided you contact us at least 3 working days in advance of the performance / screening. This service is offered at a rate of £1.50 per ticket. If the value of the new tickets is higher than the original tickets the difference must be paid, however no refunds will be given if you choose tickets of a lesser value.
Tickets for events that are cancelled or rescheduled after purchase are eligible for exchange and refund and our Box Office team will be in touch with you by email or phone with information specific to your booking.
Please note that the Stephen Joseph Theatre is not liable for any additional costs or expenses you may incur as a result of a cancelled or rescheduled event, including for travel, accommodation or hospitality.
