Free accompanying carer tickets are available for all our events. You may be asked to present a valid form of proof that you are a Carer. This can be in the form of official letter or ID.
Ticket Collection
You will be emailed a digital copy of your ticket, which can be added to your phone’s wallet via the link in the email. When you arrive, please have your ticket to hand and the QR code in your ticket ready for scanning. It is not necessary to print out your tickets, we prefer digital wherever possible to keep our environmental impact as low as possible.
Cancellation and refunds
We appreciate that plans change, so here’s our policy if you need to cancel.
For paid activity:
Refunds are available up to 1 day before the start time of the activity. To cancel tickets, use the link on your confirmation email and follow the steps provided by Eventbrite. In the event of a cancellation, you will be refunded your ticket price minus the transaction fee.
If you cancel within 1 day of a paid-for event, no refund is available.
For free activity:
If you can’t make a free activity you have booked, you can cancel in the same way as for a paid ticket. We would much rather you cancel your tickets and allow other people to book, so please make use of this facility if you can no longer attend.
Refunds
In most cases refunds can be completed online through Eventbrite without a need to contact us. If you would like to contact us about a refund or ticket transfer, please email tickets@realideas.org. Our cancellation policy may vary for individual events, please check at the point of booking for event specific information.
Ticket Transfer
Ticket transfer is available through Eventbrite, this is free and self-served. In the event that you are transferring to a higher ticket value you will be asked to pay the difference at the point of booking. If the transfer is to a lower ticket value, a refund will be processed manually by our staff. For a transfer related partial refund please email tickets@realideas.org.
Group Bookings
If you are booking for a group, your tickets will be listed under the lead ticket holder’s name. Upon arrival simply let a host know who the lead ticket holder is in your group to make check-in without a QR code easier if you are arriving separately.
Late Arrival
In the event of late arrivals we cannot guarantee entry into the event or offer a refund, . Your ticket gives you entry to the event named on your ticket only.
