If you do not receive this email then it is your responsibility to contact us to inform us.

4. Credit card problems
4.1 UCC’s ticketing system involves an immediate exchange of information between us and your bank via DPS.

In these instances, it is your bank denying your card, not UCC, so please contact your bank for a resolution.
5. Ticket Limits
5.1 Tickets may be subject to a limited number of tickets that each customer can purchase for an event. This limit will be published as part of the event information. This policy is meant to restrict unfair purchasing practices.

6.1 Tickets cannot be refunded, exchanged or cancelled once issued except in accordance with the applicable laws of New Zealand. Therefore, please ensure that you carefully review your purchase before processing the purchase.
6.2 Occasionally, events may be cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control. Should this occur, please contact us for information on the procedure for receiving a refund for your ticket(s). Cancellations and/or Refunds due to adverse weather conditions are at the sole and unfettered discretion of UCC as events can be moved inside the Ilam Homestead, and for the sake of clarity, no automatic right to a refund due to adverse weather conditions exists.

9.3 UCC reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject from the event, without compensation to you, in circumstances where UCC or the venue considers it has cause. This includes (without limitation) where tickets are lost or damaged, where you engage in conduct that unreasonably interferes with the enjoyment of the event by others (i.e. by fighting, being abusive or disorderly, hampering the conduct of the event or otherwise), and where you do not comply with the rules and regulations set forth by UCC or the respective venue.
