How do provisional fixtures affect the duration of my hotel stay?
For those events that are marked as provisional, hotel stays must cover all days that the event could potentially take place on. This will ensure you do not miss the event you are travelling to watch. If you book your hotel online via our website, the hotel check-in date is set to the earliest date your chosen event will potentially take place on. We also provide a warning message to advise accordingly. It is your responsibility to ensure you book the correct number of nights to cover for all possible days that the event could potentially take place on. Similarly, if you are booking your hotel privately then you must ensure that your stay includes all possible nights that the event can take place on.
Seating & ticket allocations
Tickets advertised for sale on our website can be found on stage one of our online shopping cart. A detailed ticket description can be found next to each respective ticket category by clicking on the link 'More info click here'. This will then drop down the description. The ticket categories provided on our website may differ from the official categories printed on the tickets. These are our own definitions and therefore they may not necessarily match the official categories printed by the clubs. Football Ticket Categories Home/ Neutral Supporters Seats positioned in the home supporters sections of the stadium. You will be seated with supporters of the home team (i.e. the team from the city/ country where the event is being played). Some of these areas may also be seated with neutral supporters (we cannot guarantee that you will be seated with neutral supporters). The colours of the away team (shirts, scarves, jackets etc) will not be permitted into these sections of the stadium. Away Supporters Tickets Seats positioned in the away supporters sections of the stadium. You will be seated with supporters of the away team (i.e. the visiting team). The colours of the home team (shirts, scarves, jackets etc) will not be permitted into these sections of the stadium. Stadium Seating Plans Stadium seating plans are provided as an indication of the approximate location only (i.e. sector or area of the stadium) Seat Groupings Event organisers generally issue tickets in pairs i.e. two (2) people will be seated next to each other. We therefore only guarantee seats in pairs unless we state otherwise next to the ticket category/ description. Group bookings of three or more persons may be seated in different rows, sectors or stands (within the positions of your allocated ticket category) and therefore separated from each other. We will however sincerely try our hardest to seat groups together or as close together as possible, however we cannot guarantee this. You acknowledge that we do not have any control over this. If you have any specific requests with regards to seating allocations and groupings then please contact us.
Tickets used for your booking
Ticket agents may pre-book season tickets at the start of the season with the respective sports clubs/ event organisers that may be used for your event booking. Season tickets are normally issued in the form of electronic access cards, member cards or paper tickets and may have different spectator names on them. This is standard practice for the majority of football clubs. Also, club members that do not take up the option of attending games may also return their electronic access cards/ member cards/ tickets back to the respective clubs which may also be issued as part of your ticket booking. These cards and tickets are officially allocated to our customers with the approval of the respective clubs. The names of each spectator are still given to the respective authorities whom take note of which persons are actually attending the event. You will not have any problems gaining access into the stadium using these cards or tickets. If such cards or tickets are issued as part of your bookings, some clubs may also provide official supporting documentation to provide details of the relevant spectator name changes (the spectator names on your booking). You must take the supporting documentation with you to the stadium with the cards/tickets (plus valid photographic identification for each spectator). Failure to take the official supporting documentation with the tickets may result in stadium officials refusing you entry into the stadium. If electronic access cards are provided as part of your booking then you may also need to return the cards back to the reception desk of your hotel after the game, as the cards may need to be returned to the club and used by other spectators at future games. If this is required for your booking, instructions on how to return your cards will be provided in the envelope that we deliver your tickets in.
Ticket delivery & collection
Event tickets are usually released only a few days prior to the event by the respective sports clubs/ event organisers/ promoters/ venues. For the majority of events, we organise local delivery or local collection of your tickets in the city where the event is taking place. This is standard practice and has proven to be the safest option. If other delivery options are available for your event i.e. overseas delivery then this will be stated accordingly. Specific information about the delivery options for each event can be found via our online shopping cart under the heading, 'delivery method'. All relevant delivery/ collection details will also be available by logging into your online account. If you book hotel accommodation direct with Tickazilla then we will automatically arrange delivery of your tickets to the hotel reception before the match/event. If you don't book your hotel with Tickazilla i.e. a ticket only sale, you must provide us with your hotel delivery address. Towards the final stage of our online booking process, you will have the opportunity to enter the full postal address. If you do not have these details to hand or have not booked your hotel accommodation, then you may provide your hotel delivery details at a later date via e-mail, but no later than five days prior to the fixture date.We will then advise our courier to deliver to your hotel. Please note: If you make a last minute reservation i.e. within five days you must provide delivery details at the time of booking or within 24 hours of placing your order. Deliveries to local hotels will be acknowledged and/or signed for by the hotel receptionist/ concierge as proof of delivery and kept in a safe place behind the reception desk. You will need to request the tickets from the receptionist before the event.
E-Tickets
Some event organisers may issue e-tickets for your booking rather than paper tickets. If e-tickets are issued then we will send e-tickets (normally in PDF format) to the email address of your hotel or to your registered e-mail address. You will need to print the e-tickets and take them with you to the venue. You must therefore monitor your e-mail inbox before you attend the event in case we send e-tickets via e-mail. If e-tickets are emailed to the reception desk of your hotel then we will contact the hotel accordingly and ensure that the e-tickets are handed over to you.
Finding the venue & locating your reserved seats
You will be responsible for finding your way to the venue and locating your reserved seat(s) inside the venue. The location details of your reserved seat will be displayed on your ticket/ entrance pass. Signs are also marked at the venue to help with entry into the venue and to identify the correct seat locations. If you are unable to find the correct entrance or have difficulty in identifying your reserved seat then you should contact the nearest steward/ venue staff for assistance so they can help you find your seat. You agree that no claim will be made against us for the actions or failures, whether negligent or intentional, of any third parties including (but not limited to) the venue, event organisers, official ticket distribution partners of the event organisers or venue staff/ stewards. We will also not be liable for how your seat information is displayed on the tickets nor the language that is printed on the tickets.
Stadium Entry & Security
You (and members of your group) may be asked to produce photographic identification upon entry at certain stadiums therefore please carry your passport as a form of photographic identification when attending the event. Venues reserve the right to refuse admission should you breach any terms and conditions of the venue, event or event organisers. Any unacceptable behaviour likely to cause damage, nuisance or injury shall entitle the venue, event organisers or venue staff/ stewards to eject you from the venue or prevent entry into the venue. Venues may also conduct security searches to ensure the safety of other spectators/ guests. If you fail to comply with instructions from venue staff/ stewards then you may be ejected from the venue or prevented from entering the venue.
Ticket & Hotel Prices
All prices displayed on our website are quoted in British Pound Sterling (£ GBP) and are inclusive of VAT, overseas taxation (where applicable), overseas bank transaction charges, administration, service and any other applicable sales taxes. Advertised prices may be subject to daily price increases or decreases as a direct result of exchange rate fluctuations and increases or decreases in costs as set by our suppliers. You acknowledge that Tickazilla do not have any control over this. During trade fairs or other special events/ festivals, hotels often impose premium rates for their rooms so the price you pay to us for accommodation may be higher than the hotel’s published rate. You acknowledge that we do not have any control over this.
Security Measurements, Punishment Bans & Members Only at Football Games
Football Associations or organising bodies may on rare occasions impose strict security measurements or punishment bans at certain games. Some clubs may also cancel their existing booking policies at certain games and limit spectators to those that are only registered members of the club. These decisions can be enforced without warning at short notice before the respective event. Spectators at stadiums may therefore be limited to: 1. local residents that live in the city where the game is taking place in, or 2. registered members/ card holders of the club, or 3. passport holders of the country where the game is taking place in, or 4. passport holders of all countries except passport holders of the country from where the opposing away team is registered, or 5. no spectators i.e. matches may be played behind closed doors with no public attendance Event tickets can only be issued by such supporters. Access into the stadium will be denied for any other supporters. For those travel/ sport event agencies that pre-book tickets in accordance with the football clubs normal booking policies, in advance of any such announcement, will no longer be permitted and cancelled by the respective football clubs. You acknowledge that we do not have any control over this and will therefore not be held responsible. For general conditions and cancellation terms, please see condition 5 ‘Terms of Payment, Variations & Cancellations’ under our standard terms & conditions.
Market value of tickets
Event tickets are sold above face value at brokered commercial market rates and reflect supply and demand for that particular game. In order to secure 'difficult to obtain' tickets, preferred seating and to guarantee tickets in advance (before general sale to the public) and at sold out events, we have to pay a high premium to ticket agents. You acknowledge that we do not have control over the ticket prices set by officially appointed ticket agents or third party ticket agents, and that we cannot be held responsible for such prices.
Face value of tickets
Face value of tickets may vary for each event and normally reflects the profile of the event. Indications of face values are highlighted below: General Admission tickets range from €15 Euros to €100 Euros Category Three tickets range from €15 Euros to €95 Euros Category Two tickets range from €25 Euros to €120 Euros Category One tickets range from €30 Euros to €250 Euros VIP tickets: from €120 Euros Where applicable some values are approximate.
