SOtickets FAQ’s

  • How does it work? » 
    Our tickets are different. Instead of sending them to you in the post we give you an entry code which is displayed on your screen once you’ve bought your tickets. We also email you confirmation of your entry code shortly after your order has gone through.
  • What ID do I need? » 
    The venue has the final say over the sort of ID you need to bring with you. We recommend you make sure you have ID with you when attending any SOtickets event. Any official ID, either with a photo or signature, should be fine. If the venue needs you to bring anything unusual we’ll specify it in your confirmation email. You will also need proof of age or concessionary status, if applicable.
  • What if I can’t go? » 
    Tickets purchased from SOtickets are strictly non-transferable and non-refundable. The only time we would offer a refund is if the event is cancelled, moved to another date, or if details of the event are significantly changed after an order is placed. Significant changes being a change of headline act (concerts only) or venue.
  • What if the event is cancelled? » 
    Wherever possible we’ll contact you in advance on the email address you provided to let you know an event has been cancelled. Although this is not always possible when an event is cancelled at the last minute, we’ll do our best to contact you. If an event is cancelled we usually refund the face value of your ticket, if it’s postponed tickets are usually valid for the new date. Booking and transaction fees are non-refundable in all cases.
  • How much are your booking fees? » 
    We pride ourselves on having some of the lowest booking fees in ticketing. Our standard booking fee is 10% of the face value of your ticket. If your ticket has a high face value the chances are the booking fee will be less than 10%. The actual amount we charge is negotiated with the venue or promoter for each individual event, and it non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.
  • What’s the transaction fee for? » 
    The transaction fee covers the costs of processing orders. The transaction fee applies per order not per ticket. If you purchase six tickets, you only pay one transaction fee.
  • My tickets haven’t arrived… » 
    Our tickets are different. Instead of sending them to you in the post we give you an entry code which is displayed on your screen once you’ve bought your tickets. We also email you confirmation of your entry code shortly after your order has gone through, however the entry code itself, along with some ID is all you’ll need to gain entry to the event (for more on ID see above).
  • I didn’t receive my confirmation email. »
