Ticketing Terms & Conditions in a COVID-19 Environment

TAPAC is committed to keeping our performers, audiences, crew and staff safe in all alert levels. Our ticketing refund policy reflects this commitment.

1. In the event that a show at TAPAC needs to be cancelled or postponed due to Covid-19, you will be offered the opportunity to re-book your tickets on the new date or to obtain a refund. In the event that our theatre capacity needs to be reduced due to a change in traffic light levels, priority will be given to ticket holders based on the time of booking a ticket, with earlier bookings taking precedence over later bookings.
2. .We ask that you do not attend a show at TAPAC if:

• You have Covid-19, or are awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test
• You are required to self-isolate
• You feel unwell or have any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19 (running nose, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fever, loss of smell/taste)
• You have been in close contact with anyone known or suspected to have Covid-19 in the past 14 days

3. If any of the reasons identified in Clause 2 apply to you, you are entitled to a refund. Please note, that refunds apply only to the ticket price. Booking, Transaction, Credit Card, or other fees are unable to be refunded.
4. By booking a ticket with TAPAC you agree that TAPAC may have to share your personal data with the Ministry of Health for contract tracing purposes.
5. If you are booking tickets for a group, you are responsible for knowing the contact details of all members of your group (including name, email address and phone number). You agree to pass these details to the Ministry of Health if required.
6. By entering TAPAC, you agree to comply with our current Covid-19 safety instructions (outlined here – link to Covid-19 page). Failure to do so may mean you will be asked to leave TAPAC.
