Admission is granted by ticket only. Once a ticket is scanned/checked there will be no readmission unless agreed by event organisers. It is the customers responsibility to check the location of the event and to arrive on the correct day and time. For music events, the time stated is when doors open with performances generally starting 30mins later. However comedy events generally start 10-20mins after doors open, so please arrive at or before door time.

Start and end times vary, most performances take place between 8:30pm to 10:45pm, but these are subject to change without notice. Changes to the performance programme or schedule are not the responsibility of Whelan’s and may happen at any time without notice.

We are dependent on other external suppliers of services (i.e., web hosting, e-commerce solutions) in providing services to customers, we can only rely on those suppliers pursuant to their individual terms and conditions and service level agreements. Should we experience any difficulties, we will make every effort to rectify any problems with our suppliers.

Ticket Purchase Limitations:

Whelanslive.com reserves the right to limit the number of tickets which can be ordered by a customer either in a single or multiple orders. Currently 8 tickets are the maximum, if you would like purchase more it must be agreed upon by the venue and event organiser. We reserve the right to cancel without notice any order placed by a customer that exceeds the limit without having first sought approval.

The customer is wholly responsible for ensuring that all aspects of their ticket order are correct. When purchasing from whelanslive.com please take your time and make sure you are selecting the correct tickets. Before confirming the purchase, please review all the ticket information displayed which is based on the choices you made and ensure these are fully correct. whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for such erroneous orders and cannot refund, cancel, exchange or amend tickets ordered as a result.

Multiple orders:

whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for any unwanted tickets ordered in cases where the customer has placed multiple orders, either deliberately or unintentionally. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that multiple orders for tickets are not placed where only one order is desired. whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for such erroneous orders and cannot refund, cancel, exchange or amend tickets ordered as a result of multiple orders being placed. When ordering, simply click the final confirmation button once and then be patient as your order is processed. Do not double click the final confirmation button, click it repeatedly or refresh the page.

If you encounter repeated problems while ordering and are still not clear whether you have ordered successfully or not, please do not submit multiple orders, but instead contact whelanslive.com customer support for assistance.

Order Time Limit:

whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for any inconvenience or loss incurred in cases where the customer failed to complete the order within the maximum time limit allowed, either per individual page or for the entire order. If you do not complete your order within the specified time limit, the tickets you have selected are released back into the pool and become available for other customers to buy. This rule is common on all ticketing websites and is required to correctly manage sale of tickets for high-demand events. In the case of high-demand events, it is possible that all tickets will have been sold to other customers in the meantime and you will be unable to secure tickets to the event when you restart the purchase process. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that they complete their order within the specified time limit.

Seat Selection:

whelanslive.com reserves the right to not to extend the ability for the customer to select his desired seats for any given event. In such cases, whelanslive.com will automatically offer you the “Best Available” seats associated with the ticket price you have chosen. In this way, you are assigned the seats with the best location and view available at that point in time. This approach is standard in the ticketing industry and is needed to allow whelanslive.com to sell extremely high volumes of tickets within a matter of minutes for concerts by very popular acts.

Seating Location:

whelanslive.com offers no guarantee that it will be possible to seat all members of a party in a single location within a venue for a given event. If a restriction exists on the location of seating, you will be made aware of this restriction irrespective of whether you are choosing your own seats or having ‘Best Available’ seats assigned by the system. At this point you can decide to accept the seats even though they are not located together or instead opt not to continue with the ticket order.

Ordering Tickets for More Than One Event:

Unfortunately, it is not possible to buy tickets for more than one event as part of a single order. You can place more than one order if you wish to buy tickets for more than one event. Please note that if you choose postal delivery, the standard postage fee will be charged for each order. whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for any such per-order postage fees incurred by the customer while placing multiple orders to secure tickets for different events.

Customer-Fulfilled Ticketing:

whelanslive.com will not be held responsible for any inconvenience or loss incurred in cases where the customer has failed to provide the necessary facilities needed to support customer- fulfilled ticketing. Customer-fulfilled ticketing methods include Print at Home tickets, tickets delivered to the customer’s mobile phone and any other delivery methods not directly handled by whelanslive.com. Specific requirements to support customer-fulfilled ticketing methods include, but are not limited to, computer hardware, software of specific version level and configuration, accessories such as printers of specific configuration and colour / quality level, Internet access, mobile phone hardware and / or software, mobile connectivity and coverage, active SIM etc. The customer should not select a self-fulfilment delivery option if he is not confident that all requirements can be met reliably, including contingency to cover exceptional events like Internet access outages, hardware failure etc. Standard delivery methods such as post or box office collection should instead be chosen. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure all required elements are in-place, in working condition and correct configuration at all times. whelanslive.com cannot assist the customer in troubleshooting any issues with required elements outlined above and cannot cancel, amend or exchange tickets ordered which cannot now be fulfilled by the customer.
