ASB CLASSIC |  TICKET TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SELLER'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Tennis Auckland Region Incorporated (Tennis Auckland) on behalf of ASB Classic is the "Seller" in respect of tickets purchased for the ASB Classic 2024 event being staged at the ASB Tennis Arena from 1 - 13 January 2024 (Event).

All references to “we”, “us” or “our” is a reference to Tennis Auckland.

By purchasing a ticket you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

• Each ticket must be scanned on entry and exit.

• Each ticket is valid only for the date and session of play for which the ticket has been issued, not for any particular match.

• Play may be cancelled or rescheduled due to weather or circumstances beyond the Tennis Auckland’s control. Such actions do not entitle a ticket holder to make any claim for refund of the ticket price except as outlined below.

Refunds

A refund of the ticket price (less any expenses incurred that are not refundable; such as credit card charges) will only be given if there is less than one hours play on the date and session your ticket is valid according to the official time sheet of the Tournament Referee. Box tickets, full week tournament tickets, ground passes and complimentary tickets do not qualify for the refund policy.

If no monetary consideration has been paid for a Ticket, no refund will be payable.

For tickets purchased online, automatic refunds will be made after the completion of the event and will be returned to the valid credit card or payment method used at time of the original purchase by the original ticket purchaser. Refunds will not be issued to any individual who is not the original ticket purchaser. Note: if the credit card is no longer valid, a Flicket representative will attempt to contact you to arrange an alternative payment method for refund (based on the information provided at the time of purchase). This may delay your refund timeframe.

For tickets purchased at the venue box office, or from the ASB Classic ticketing website, please email us and include your transaction number, the point of purchase, your contact details and your bank account for payment of refund. Email to – support@flicket.co.nz - with the subject line: ASB Classic Tennis Refund. For assistance please phone 09 214 2183 

No refunds will be made over the counter at the ASB Tennis Arena box office.

Automatic refunds should be processed within 10 business days of the completion of the event.

Please allow 28 days for manual refunds from the date your refund request email is sent to Flicket. Please check your credit card statement to confirm you have received your refund.

Event Cover

If you have opted-in to purchase insurance from EventCover (for an “Inability to Attend”), you will be covered pursuant to the terms of EventCover’s “Ticketing Refund Programme”. Any claims pursuant to this insurance cover need to be directed to EventCover.

For the avoidance of doubt, your purchase of EventCover insurance is between you and EventCover directly. Tennis Auckland is not a party to this arrangement.

Transmitting match-related data

No ticket holder may continually collect, disseminate, transmit, publish or release from the event venue any match scores or related statistical data during match play (from the commencement of a match through to its conclusion for any commercial or betting/gambling purpose). The continual use of laptop computers or other handheld electronic devices within the confines (spectator area) of the match courts is prohibited. The exception to this provision is properly credentialed media, tournament vendors and tournament staff when used in the performance of their duties.
