Hello,
We live in Brisbane and we are in a lock down COVID19 until 5pm tomorrow and so we are unable to fly to Sydney 5 am 1.4.21. If we travel to Sydney we will need to isolate preventing us from attending the Royal Easter Show as we were going to fly home on the 5.4.21
So I was wondering if I could organise a refund of 4 tickets.
Hi Cherryl,
I am sorry to hear that you have had to put your holiday on hold.
I have looked through all of the FAQs information on the official website and also on their Facebook page, and there is no mention of ticket refunds due to COVID restrictions – especially if you are going from out of state (it would likely be a whole different story if Sydney had COVID restrictions).
I don’t know the full terms and conditions of the show or Ticketmaster, but on https://www.eastershow.com.au/legal/terms-and-conditions/, it does state that “Unless allowed by law, you are not able to exchange or refund this ticket”, but since this is out of your hands, i would suggest you get in contact with their customer service with the details listed at https://www.eastershow.com.au/about-us/contact-us/
Their phone number is (02) 9704 1000, while their email is [email protected].
Thanks
Michael
