- PURCHASING TICKETS
3.1 SELECTING TICKETS
As a customer, you choose a ticket from the listings on the website and, when you have found the ticket (s) you want at the right price, you click to buy that ticket (s), enter and confirm your credit or debit card information and confirm the purchase of the ticket (s).
3.2 PRICING
Event tickets are purchased in a free and fluctuating market where prices may change at any time. Only when you have completed a transaction by clause 3.4 below is that transaction concluded at that price. Ticket prices can be above or below the face value. Ticket prices are usually set at a level which exceeds their original “face value”. Please note that prices can change daily until a contract is formed with us. Reserved Section does not hold any responsibility for a late contract being formed with the Company. Some tickets are sold at 0 (nil) value of the ticket but carry service fee premiums as the Customers are paying Reserved Section a service fee to obtain the ticket from its international ticket network on their behalf.
At the time of booking, the client expressly accepts the difference in price over the face value of the tickets, due to changes in supply and demand, the degree of difficulty, the cost of obtaining and most importantly the cost involved in servicing and delivering the tickets to the client’s position. Reserved Section prices will be different from the prices that may be specified on the actual ticket and the client cannot derive any rights from these. Once payment has been done, the order would have been confirmed and no price change will occur after payment has been done at the price published at the time of booking.
Tours and activities prices are set by the tour operator/supplier and are subject to the terms and conditions of the tour operator/supplier.
3.3 ADDITIONAL CHARGES / TICKET REQUEST FEE
You may be charged processing and other fees such as delivery charges which will be displayed on the screen, before your binding commitment to purchase is made. Reserved Section will not be liable for any credit card or bank charges.
You may send us a ticket request if no tickets are available for your chosen event. A request fee is payable upon the successful submission of the ticket request. Once you have received an offer for your requested event ticket, the fee will be subtracted from the final amount if you wish to proceed with the offer. If you decide not to proceed with the quoted price, then Reserved Section will consider services rendered, and no refund of fees will be applicable.
3.4 PAYMENT
100% full payment must be received and verified by us to guarantee that a ticket purchase transaction has occurred. Accepted forms of online payment include credit cards and debit cards.

Reserved Section will not be responsible for bank charges or fees applied by the customers’ credit card or bank; it is only for approximate guidelines and may differ slightly from what the customers are charged due to the fluctuating conversion rates. Ticket prices are guaranteed only when an order is placed and payment is received.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, do not assume your order has not gone through; instead please send us a message to request another confirmation email.

3.6 EVENT CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENT, AND EVENT CHANGES
Events are sometimes postponed or cancelled completely. Event dates and times are usually printed on the tickets and are not usually subject to change but in some cases can. You must check with the event venue or local media to ensure that you arrive at the correct time and on the correct date. If an event is rescheduled, tickets will often be valid for the new date and you will not in any circumstances be entitled to a refund for a re-scheduled event. Please be aware that on occasion an event organizer may at their discretion or owing to production changes opt to withdraw a seating location and supply an alternative. Reserved Section cannot be held liable for this change if you are unhappy with the alternate ticket(s). In the event of a date/time change related to football events, bookings for football services/tickets purchased and confirmed, are non-refundable or cannot be exchanged for another fixture different than the rescheduled event.
All ticket purchases on our website are final and no refund or exchanges will be given unless the event is cancelled entirely and the original event organizers offer customers a refund for their tickets (excluding football matches which cannot be refunded in all cases). If the organizers of the event do offer a refund in the event of a cancellation, to be entitled to a refund you must send to us (via a secure and traceable courier service) the original tickets purchased via the Website and within the time frame communicated to you by us. In that case, only the original face value of the ticket will be refunded as services of obtaining the tickets by Reserved Section would have been filled as the customers are also purchasing Reserved Section’s service represented by the effort of the staff to acquire premium tickets from its International Agents. Some Event Providers generally prohibit us from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased or for lost, stolen, damaged, duplicated or destroyed tickets. In that case, only the original face value of the ticket will be refunded. In no event will delivery and service fees be refunded. Reserved Section will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that Customers incur in connection with a cancelled or rescheduled event.
All events and times are subject to change, it is up to the Customer to check local listings for any updates.Reserved Section is not responsible for partial performances, or venue, date, or time changes. No refunds will be issued in these instances nor will Reserved Section be liable for any costs arising from these changes such as travel and accommodation costs.

All queries relating to tickets purchased via Reserved Section must be directed to Reserved Section’s customer services department AND NOT the relevant venue or promoter. However, if you breach the applicable ticket, promoter or venue terms and conditions or you direct any queries relating to the tickets to the venue or promoter rather than Reserved Section and as a result, are not able to gain entry to the event or if tickets have been cancelled as a result of your communications, then you shall not be entitled to receive any refund. Reserved Section is not responsible if the venue or promoters refuse the Customer’s entry even if having a valid ticket. In this case, no refunds will be given under any circumstances and Reserved Section shall not be held responsible for any other expenses about the booking such as travel, accommodation etc. It Is common for someone else’s name to be on all tickets being purchased on this site, this includes but is not limited to football, concert, festivals, fashion week shows, movie premiers, and firework tickets. The name you see printed on the tickets are typically the name of the original purchasers.Reserved Section only obtains tickets through its ticket network that are authentic, that have not been duplicated or tickets that have not been reported stolen.

Reserved Section shall not hold any responsibility for other expenses related to the booking such as travel, and accommodation. If the customer was prohibited to enter the venue due to reasons not about the validity of the ticket. If the ticket was invalid, customers need to contact Reserved Section immediately (as our agents might be able to replace the ticket on the spot) and present proof of the invalid ticket. If the invalid ticket could not be replaced at the same time of the event, and only after examining the proof given to Reserved Section, a full ticket refund (Face Value only) is applied.

In certain cases, exact seat locations may be substituted with equal or better seat locations only. In the unlikely event, Reserved Section is unable to supply its customers with the exact ticket/service ordered, Reserved Section will upgrade or downgrade the customer to the next available category with no extra cost. Customers are contacted directly in such cases. If downgraded, the customer will be entitled to a refund for the difference in the price of the delivered ticket from the original purchased ticket only.

- DELIVERY4.1 DELIVERY METHODS AND TYPES OF TICKETS
Reserved Section will endeavor to deliver your tickets as soon as possible. However deliveries depend on the format of the ticket. These can either be regular physical tickets, membership cards or in most cases electronic tickets. The most common ticket formats nowadays are either PDF files or Mobile Tickets.
Electronic Tickets
PDF files are usually sent out between 24/48 hours prior to the event date for our customers to print at home at their own convenience or scan using a smartphone.
Mobile Tickets are QR codes that are usually transferred 24/48 hours before the match and, depending on the club or federation responsible to release them, our customers may be required to download an application in order to receive them and present at the stadium gates.
In both cases, specific instructions are always emailed to the buyer depending on their ticket selection.
Paper Tickets
Deliveries are usually processed via UPS, Royal Mail or FedEx International and all deliveries will require a signature on delivery, however in some circumstances the seller may require you to meet a representative at or close to the venue on the day of the match. We send you an email to let you know when your tickets are shipped and you can expect them to arrive within 48 hours (usually 1 day) if sent by Royal Mail, and 7-10 days with FedEx International Delivery.
The supplier/Reserved Section reserves the right to deliver tickets up and until the day of the event via its venue representatives or by sending electronic tickets (E-Tickets), please note that the ticket arrangement fee will not be refunded in any of these cases. Reserved Section will not be liable for the refused, unclaimed post, returned deliveries, missing mail or failed delivery. Customers must provide correct delivery information to Reserved Section which includes the name as per hotel, office, building, or any other types of reservations for the delivery address including any Hotel booking reference number if staying at a hotel, a working email address and direct contact number. Complete delivery information must be provided to Reserved Section no later than 3 working days before the event date. If the delivery information is provided later than 3 working days, then Reserved Section shall not be held liable for any late or failed delivery. Customers should always inform their hotel reception or concierge desk that they are expecting a delivery. Some hotels refuse to accept deliveries for unknown guest names, please make sure the name you have provided us is the same which you have used to reserve your hotel room. Reserved Section is not responsible for any refused or unsigned delivery of tickets, it is up to the customer to inform the hotel to sign on their behalf. In some cases, if the customer is staying out of the event city, we can arrange a central pickup location in the event city. However, this must be confirmed before booking the event tickets.
Customers are asked to contact Reserved Section if the event is less than 24 hours and they have not received their tickets yet. The delivery method is communicated to the Customers upon booking. If by any chance the ticket was not received, Customers are urged to contact Reserved Section immediately and Reserved Section representatives will track and communicate the delivery time to the customers.
Tickets will be delivered either in person or through a secure courier service or by local ticket collection at the particular venue or via email in form of electronic tickets. It is your responsibility to provide us with a safe, secure delivery point and to be available to accept delivery. It is also your responsibility to enter a valid email address in your order to facilitate the receipt of electronic tickets. Reserved Section will not be liable for refused or failed delivery arising from customers failing to provide complete information to us (including, name, address and email), unclaimed post, return deliveries, or missing mail. In the unlikely event, tickets are lost, delayed or undelivered by the courier company or by the supplier, Reserved Section may not be held liable for any costs arising from all undelivered tickets, which include flight and hotel costs. An investigation with the Courier Company / Supplier will take place to find the appropriate method of settling the matter. A claim against the responsible parties will be processed and if successful the monies from the claim will be passed on to the customer in full. In the unlikely event that the tickets are not delivered by the trusted supplier then a full refund of the event tickets purchased will be given with a 15% discount voucher (compensation) to be used on the customer’s next order within 1 year of issue. Tickets cannot be replaced if they are lost, stolen or damaged by the customer.
Reserved Section can deliver the customer an E-Ticket, a Match Day Paper Ticket, a Season Ticket (card) or a Member Card. In the likely event of the event being a card entry venue, customers will only have the delivery option of a local hotel delivery. If tickets will be collected on match day from the Reserved Section pick-up location, Customers must bring their ticket confirmation email along with a valid ID or credit card to collect the tickets. When the customer receives a Season Ticket (card)/Member Card, it can only be used for the specific date and event booked from Reserved Section. Once the event ends, the client must send back immediately the Season Ticket (card)/Member Card to Reserved Section based on instructions received from Reserved Section or the suppliers of Reserved Section. These instructions can be given by phone, email or a letter attached to the Season Ticket (card)/Member Card inside the envelope. Customers that are staying at a hotel (In the event city) are required to leave the Season Ticket (card)/Member Card, the same night at the end of the event, inside an envelope at the hotel front desk and will write on the envelope the name of Reserved Section or other names based on the instructions received from Reserved Section.
Customers are required to meet Reserved Section’s representatives after the event to give them back the cards as they carry information/tickets for the next event at that venue.
If the Customers holding a ticket lose or do not meet Reserved Section venue representatives after the event, and abide by the given instructions, Customers will be liable for automatic charges to their credit card or any other used payment method. Customers who fail to return the tickets give Reserved Section full authority to charge their credit card with the full amount for every event held at the respective venue. The prices displayed on the Website will serve as a charging base per event. When delivery methods are not available due to last-minute bookings or tickets not being ready to be delivered by circumstances outside of Reserved Section control, such as but not limited to; a national holiday, tickets were purchased the same day as the event, tickets were printed late by the event organisers, then a venue collection point will be arranged by the Reserved Section team. Customers who fail to collect their tickets will be classed as a “No Show” and therefore will not be entitled to any refund as they have been unable to collect their tickets purchased through www.reservedsection.com . Reserved Section cannot be held liable for any additional cost which may arise in obtaining tickets and customers have to take full responsibility to ensure they can collect the tickets within the time frame specified by the Reserved Section team. No refunds will be provided for customers who are unable to collect their tickets within the specified time, date and location.
4.2 ACCURACY
We endeavor to get the tickets to you as soon as reasonably possible. Once tickets have been delivered, it is your responsibility to immediately check the tickets for accuracy. If there are any discrepancies between the tickets received and what you ordered, you must immediately notify Reserved Section and return the tickets to us by recorded delivery or equivalent. We will then endeavor to source equal or better tickets for you.
