Cinema Entrance Terms and Conditions

The purchase of entry tickets for film showings or other events at the Electric Picture House Cinema (‘the Cinema’) is strictly subject to the following Terms and Conditions. By purchasing an entry ticket, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. Should you have any queries or need clarification on any of the Terms and Conditions, please contact a member of staff.

1. Ticket prices are those displayed at the time of the point of purchase. All prices include applicable Value Added Tax.
2. Tickets are subject to availability and are non-refundable if the film screening goes ahead as scheduled. If you are unable to attend as planned, we will be happy to arrange an exchange or credit, provided you let us know at least one hour before the film's start time.
3. Customers must sit in the seat indicated on their ticket. Seats can only be exchanged by arrangement with the staff. If you refuse to sit in the allocated seat, you may be asked to leave the venue and denied a refund.
4. Under no circumstances, save personal injury or death resulting from its negligence, shall the Cinema be liable to the purchaser of the entry ticket for more than the purchase price of the ticket.
5. For tickets purchased online, a fee is payable in addition to the ticket price to cover the cost of providing online services. You will be notified of the amount at the time and point of purchase.
6. Tickets purchased online will be available for collection at the cinema Box Office 30 minutes prior to the performance. Guests should print the payment receipt generated when purchasing tickets online and bring this with them as proof of purchase and identity. The Cinema reserves the right to withhold tickets if members of staff are not satisfied as to the ownership or validity of the tickets purchased online.
7. If a ticket is purchased online in advance and admittance cannot be granted to the event because the Cinema has, for whatever reason, been filled to capacity when the ticket is collected, the Cinema will issue a refund of the purchase price of the ticket or voucher of equivalent value for a future performance. In no event shall the Cinema be liable in such circumstances for more than the value of the ticket price.
8. Promotional or complimentary vouchers must be redeemed in person at the Cinema box office and cannot be applied to advance online ticket purchases. Vouchers bearing an expiry date must be redeemed on or prior to that date. Unless stated otherwise, vouchers may not be used in conjunction with any promotion or special event.
9. The Cinema reserves the right to request proof of age for admittance to age-restricted films or events (e.g. 12A, 15 and 18 certificates). Photographic identification, such as a driving licence or passport may be required. The Cinema reserves the right to refuse admission to anyone who members of staff believe to be under the age limit required for entry, irrespective of evidence offered.
10. The Cinema reserves the right to request proof of entitlement to entry at a concessionary price (e.g. students and senior citizens). The Cinema reserves the right to refuse admission at a concessionary price to anyone who members of staff believe not to be entitled to entrance at the concessionary price, irrespective of evidence offered.
11. For tickets purchased in advance online at concessionary prices, proof of entitlement may be demanded before admission to the auditorium. This applies also to tickets purchased at the Renishaw concession rate; any customer who cannot show a current Renishaw staff badge will be charged the difference.
12. Guests should check the details printed on their ticket (or proof of purchase in the case of online booking) are correct at the time of issue or collection. Tickets will not be refunded at a later date in the case of any error.
13. The Cinema will at all times endeavour to ensure that the films are shown in accordance with the schedules advertised. However the Cinema reserves the right to cancel a showing, substitute an alternative film or vary the time of a performance if forced to do so by circumstances beyond their control. In such circumstances the Cinema will take all reasonable steps to publicise the change and will, at its discretion, refund to guests the cost of the tickets already purchased or issue replacement tickets or vouchers for the same film at an alternative show time.
14. The Cinema reserves the right to cancel a film showing or other event, either before or after it has commenced, if circumstances develop that render continuation impossible,  impractical or presenting a real or potential risk to guests, staff or the premises. Such circumstances would include (but not limited to) fire, significant equipment failure, threats of terrorist action and power cuts. In such circumstances, the Cinema will issue replacement tickets or vouchers for the same film or event at another show time.
15. Every effort will be made to accommodate latecomers but to avoid disturbance to other guests, the Cinema reserves the right to refuse admission to guests who arrive after the main feature has started.
16. Tickets may not be resold or used for any commercial purpose without the permission of the Cinema in writing.
17. The Cinema reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time without notice.
