Tickets
General Terms & Conditions
SAUWS OPERATES AN ELECTRONIC TICKETING SYSTEM. All tickets purchased online are assigned to your personal account and then accessed at the door by quoting either your name (ID required) or reference number (as noted on the confirmation email you should receive after completeing your purchase). If you are able to print out this email or access it on a smart device, it will speed the process along on the door. You can check your purchase history at any time by logging into the SAUWS website and clicking on the relevant section of the ‘Your Profile & Account’ link at the top of the screen.
TICKETS BOUGHT VIA EXTERNAL OUTLETS: If you are attending a gig at The Union and have purchased tickets from an external outlet, they will advise you as to whether or not they will be sending out physical tickets prior to the event. If this is not the case, your details will be referred to us and we will cross your name off a purchasers' list at the door.
BRINGING GUESTS TO THE UNION: SAUWS members are able to bring a maximum of 4 guests to any event, students at affiliated Universities and Colleges are able to bring to guests . The easiest way for students to do this is to purchase their guests' tickets on their account - your guest will then just need to arrive with you to the event and bring their own photo ID as proof of age.
IDENTIFICATION: Students must bring their University of the West of Scotland ID Card to every event they wish to attend for identification purposes. For members of the public, photo ID will be required (e.g. passport, driving licence, proof of age card).
RIGHT OF ADMISSION: Right of admission is reserved by the venue management. Please note that you are still subject to SAUWS’s event admission procedures, and can be refused entry if you breach these.
Refunds
ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERRABLE.
All tickets sold for SU events, either online or at Reception, are subject to the terms and conditions set out on the SAUWS website and to the venue regulations. A breach of any of these conditions may render your ticket invalid.
All sales are final, and refunds are not available on tickets once they have been purchased (including duplicates or purchases made in error, tickets bought for the wrong event or non-attendance due to illness or injury). Please note that this is standard practice at every entertainments venue in the UK.
However, there are certain instances in which a refund may be given:
The entire event has been cancelled by the SAUWS or affiliated promoter. In this instance, refunds are available to everyone who has purchased a ticket in advance, at face value. Any booking fees or associated extras should be sought from the point of purchase.
The event has been stopped whilst in progress due to circumstances beyond our control which may be deemed as too unsafe to continue. In this instance, a decision will be made by management as to whether refunds will be offered to those with tickets. However, refunds will only be given in special circumstances and as approved by management.
THERE ARE NO OTHER INSTANCES IN WHICH A REFUND MAY BE OFFERED. If you have a question or query, then please ask to speak to the Commercial Manager (Ryan Lydon).
