1.1 By purchasing a ticket and/or attending any show or event owned by Queensland Music Festival Pty Ltd or promoted as Queensland Music Trails (hereto known as ‘QMF’) - you agree to be bound by these terms.
1.2 Tickets are sold by Ferve Pty Ltd – ABN 41 074 903 085 as an agent for and behalf of Queensland Music Festival Pty Ltd - ABN 67 084 526 876 (QMF) and are subject to the LPA Ticketing Code of Practice and below Terms and Conditions.
1.3 These Terms and Conditions relate both to the sale of tickets and attendance at events and apply to both the original purchaser and any subsequent Ticketholders.
1.4 QMF may update these Terms and Conditions at any time in accordance with Australian Consumer Law and the Live Performance Award Ticketing Code of Practice. Any variations will only apply to ticket purchases made after these Terms and Conditions have been updated.
2.1 Ferve is the only authorised ticketing provider for all QMF-produced events. As such, QMF operates in accordance with the terms and conditions of Ferve, and only tickets purchased through Ferve will be accepted at event gates.
2.2 Ticketholders consent to the collection and retention of their personal information provided at point of purchase. Ferve and QMF will hold your information as required by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and in accordance with QMF’s Privacy Policy and will contact Ticketholders in relation to ticketing matters and event information.
2.3 When purchasing tickets, Ticketholders are limited to a maximum number of tickets per transaction. Any tickets purchased more than the event ticket/transaction limit may be cancelled at the discretion of QMF.
2.4 There are cases where ticketing providers other than Ferve may be used for non-QMF produced events. In these instances, QMF may not be in control of the ticketing services for an event and, as such, tickets purchased via these alternate platforms would be subject to the ticketing policies of those service providers.
3.1 QMF reserves the right to add, withdraw, reschedule, or substitute artists and/or vary advertised programs, prices, venues, seating arrangements (including ticket categories) and audience capacity.
4.1 QMF will only offer a refund or exchange of a ticket if an event is cancelled, rescheduled, or significantly relocated (and patrons cannot or do not wish to attend the rescheduled or relocated event), or to the extent otherwise required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law).
4.2 QMF does not offer refunds to requests made after an event has taken place.
4.3 In addition, QMF does not offer refunds or exchanges to Ticketholders if they:
a) have experienced a change in personal circumstances or change of mind;
b) are unable to travel to the event due to border closures or local Government area lockdowns that were not publicly known prior to the time of sale;
c) have been tested for COVID-19 and are awaiting test results (and the event falls within the period of awaiting test results);
d) are unable to attend as the event falls within an isolation/quarantine period; or
e) are currently feeling unwell with COVID-19 symptoms
4.4 If an event is rescheduled and Ticketholders are no longer able to attend, they must request a refund by the cut-off date advertised by QMF when the postponement is announced. The cut-off date is typically 28 days from the announcement, per the LPA Ticketing Code of Practice. If a refund request is made after the cut-off date, Ticketholders may not be entitled to a refund as it will be considered a change of mind.
4.5 If an event is cancelled, rescheduled, or significantly relocated, all liability is limited to the amount for which the ticket was purchased (including any fees or charges). Proof of purchase may be required for any refund or exchange. Unless required by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), neither QMF nor Ferve will be liable for any other losses incurred by Ticketholders as a result of the cancellation, rescheduling or relocation of an event, including any travel and accommodation expenses.
4.6 If a patron is removed from the Event and/or denied entry to the Event, they will not be entitled to any ticket refund in part or in full and/or any compensation, unless required by law.
4.7 Ticketholders should carefully consider the refund and cancellation policies of travel, accommodation and other goods or service providers when making arrangements to attend an event. They may also wish to consider taking out a relevant insurance policy to cover for any losses in the event of cancellation, rescheduling or relocation.
4.8 Refunds will be automatically processed to the credit card originally used for purchase.
4.9 Ticketholders will not be refunded due to inclement weather unless considered extreme or ordered to evacuate.
