Cancellations/Refunds

How do I cancel or rearrange my booking?

As outlined in the T&Cs of each ticketing supplier, tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable once purchased. If you wish to reschedule an existing booking, this is at the discretion of the ticketing supplier e.g. London Theatre Direct/Encore Tickets. The quickest way to request this is to contact them directly. Their details can be found on your My Tickets page.

What if a show or event is cancelled?

If a show or event is cancelled, you will be offered an exchange or receive a full refund. Please get in touch with the customer service department listed on your booking confirmation or on My Tickets.

What are the booking terms and conditions?

You can find details of our suppliers, including terms and conditions, cancellation policies and contact details, on our Terms and Conditions page.

What do I do if I have not received my booking confirmation?

Double-check your spam/junk folders to ensure the booking confirmation email has not been sent there. If you cannot locate it, visit your My Tickets page for customer service contact details.

What do I do if I have lost my tickets?

If you have misplaced your tickets, contact the customer service department to arrange for duplicate tickets. Contact details can be found on your booking confirmation and on My Tickets.

What do I do if my tickets have not arrived?

If your e-tickets for an upcoming performance have not been delivered, the supplier that fulfilled your booking can re-send these - their details and your booking reference number are on your email booking confirmation and on our My Tickets page.

Here are the quick links to get in touch with suppliers about missing tickets:
  1. Encore Tickets - emailseatplan@encoretickets.co.uk

  2. London Theatre Direct - complete the form at https://www.londontheatredirect.com/email-us

  3. North American Tickets - email support@tixculture.com


If your booking does not appear in your My Tickets page, it usually means the booking was made with a different email address or there was a mistake when inputting the address. If you cannot find your booking under My Tickets, email help@seatplan.com with your full booking details and our team will investigate for you.

If your performance is within 24 hours, you can also check with the theatre box office directly. They may have a record of your booking if you can provide proof of booking and identification. The ticketing supplier will be in touch as soon as possible advise that getting in touch 48 hours or more before your performance date is best.

Are group discounts or concessions available?

Group discounts and concessions are not available for any theatre event, unless specifically stated as a ticket option when booking.

Do you accept Theatre Tokens or gift vouchers?

Theatre Tokens cannot be redeemed with SeatPlan. To redeem your Tokens, please follow the instructions listed here.

How do I make an access booking?

Access bookings must be made directly with the venue. Please visit the accessibility page for the theatre you are looking to book for information and contact details.

Are discounts available for access patrons?

Access policies vary from venue to venue. Most theatres offer a discount for access patrons and their companion. For more information, please contact the Box Office directly.

What is the difference between face value and selling price?

"Face value" is the price printed on a ticket at the theatre, including VAT. "Selling Price" is the final sale price, including applicable booking fees.

Can babes-in-arms/children be admitted into the venue?

Most venues require children to be aged 3+ to attend a live event, however each theatre has its own child policy. Some family and child-friendly shows have a babes-in-arms policy for infants under 12 or 18 months.

Are group discounts or concessions available?

Group discounts and concessions are not available for any theatre event, unless specifically stated as a ticket option when booking.

Details of age restrictions and recommendations are listed on each show. It is recommended that anybody under the age of 16 sits next to an accompanying adult, as certain venues do not allowed patrons under 16 to sit by themselves.

Can I buy tickets from overseas?

You can book tickets on SeatPlan if you are based outside the UK. Payment will be collected in British pounds (£) or US dollars ($) depending on the production selected.

What if certain performers do not appear in the performance I see?

No guarantee can be made that any star/performer/cast-member will appear as they may have to miss performances at short notice due to illness, injury or various other reasons. SeatPlan does not accept responsibility for any individual performer appearing at any particular performance.

Do you charge booking fees?

Our ticket agents are able to provide discounts that are not available when booking directly from the box office but may sometimes charge a booking fee on top of face value. All prices on SeatPlan.com include applicable booking fees to ensure extra costs are not added during checkout, except for certain delivery methods.

For more information about our ticket agents, see our Terms and Conditions here.

Adding Reviews & Photos

Why was my seat view photo rejected?

SeatPlan holds the right to reject photos that do not adhere to certain guidelines. If one of your photos is rejected it is likely due to one of the following reasons:
  • - The stage was too out-of-focus

  • - Too much of the stage was obscured by your program/Playbill

  • - Members of the cast were visible (Note: photos that show the cast will be accepted for productions that allow photography of the performers)

  • - The photo did not show the view of the stage from your seat (ie. it was a selfie or was looking elsewhere in the auditorium)

  • - The photo is smaller than 600 pixels wide x 400 pixels high

Can I add a seat view photo from my friend's seat?

If you are attending your show with a group, we can accept up to 2 seat view photos per performance, submitted as separate reviews. At least one of your reviews must include a ticket stub photo as proof that you were there. The additional photos must be from seats that are near to the one shown in the ticket stub. If SeatPlan finds any reason to suspect the reviews submitted are false or misleading, they may be rejected.

How long does it take for my reviews/photos to be approved?

We aim to approve reviews and photos within 1-2 working days.

How do I edit my review/photo?

To edit your review, visit your My Photos page. You may no longer be able to edit a review once it has been approved. If this is the case, please get in touch with us at help@seatplan.com so we can assist.

How do I report a fake or duplicate photo or review?

Click the "flag" icon beneath the photo/review and we will take a look. We remove fake or duplicate content and members who post it could be banned from the site.

Are the seating plans provided on SeatPlan completely accurate?

The seating plans on SeatPlan are indicative and designed to give a strong impression of a venue's seating layout. Our internal team of theatre experts endeavour to keep the seating plans on our website as up-to-date as possible but in some instances a venue may alter their seating at short notice.
