Premier League Tours Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY

IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

We at Premier League Tours look forward to the opportunity to act as your agent for travel to your chosen football tour. These Terms & Conditions describe what you are legally entitled to expect from us when you purchase travel-related services through us, in addition to your obligations as a customer.
The terms ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refer to Premier League Tours. The term ‘you’ refers to the customer booking a football tour through us. Football tours are hereafter referred to as ‘Events’. ‘Arrangements’ refers to the arrangements you make for travel to sporting events.
Premier League Tours acts as a guide for products and services that are not directly supplied by us (football tickets, stadium tours etc). We are not a co-vendor of such products and services: you will be entering into a separate contract with such suppliers regarding these.
That’s why we would like to stress that Premier League Tours has no control of – or involvement with cancellation or a postponement of game times and dates that are dictated to by the Premier League.
Please appreciate that Premier League Tours legal liabilities in relation to travel arrangements we book are very different to their legal liabilities to you in relation to Events. And that our obligations to Arrangements vary depending upon whether or not what you book with us is a ‘Package’, as defined by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 (for UK departures) or the Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act 1995 (for Ireland departures). For more information see: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/3288/contents/made (UK)

EVENT TICKETS

Football Matches and Stadium Tours

When we book an Event for you, our responsibility is limited to the arranging of the tour.
We do not have any responsibility for the supply, provision or conduct of the Event itself, and those responsible are not our suppliers.
The Event tickets may contain important information and conditions which you must read carefully.
Event tickets are non-transferable unless otherwise stated.
Unfortunately, whilst rare, Events can be cancelled, postponed, rescheduled, abandoned or curtailed at short notice or even without notice. We make every effort to obtain and pass on to you up-to-date information regarding Events. This information is based on details supplied to us but we cannot guarantee its accuracy or that changes will not occur. In the situation, you can not make the “tour” dues to changes no refund or compensation or other sum will be paid by us.
We cannot therefore accept any responsibility or pay any refund, compensation or other sum for any changes in or cancellation of any advertised or confirmed programme or itinerary, even where this involves the cancellation of an Event which may have been your main reason for making your booking. We will always do our best to find a suitable alternative, but cannot promise to be able to do so. If however, we obtain a refund from the organiser, this will be passed on to you.
We accept no liability for either the validity of any tickets you purchase, or for any cancellation or alteration of the Event. No refund or compensation or other sum will be paid by us. If we are able to change our services to coincide with the re-arrangement of the Event we will inform you of the changes and any addition or reduction in costs that may apply. In some cases we will not be able to alter Arrangements and we will continue to supply the original travel services which we have agreed to supply you. This applies even where there has been the cancellation of an Event which may have been your main reason for booking.

Lost or Stolen Tickets

Event organisers, clubs, stadiums or Premier League Tours will not issue duplicate/replacement tickets when lost or stolen. Premier League Tours accepts no responsibility for stolen tickets. You will be fully be expected to return all tickets that are part of a package that you have not paid for.

Conditions of Football Tickets

For some Events, the tickets we sell are for seats within a specific area/location of the stadium for supporters of a designated team/club. Where this applies details will be advised at the time of booking. In these cases, tickets are not for use by supporters of the opposing team/club.
Your booking is subject to cancellation if you are found to have breached these rules in advance of your attendance at the Event, or, you will be subject to eviction from the stadium if you are found to breach these rules at the venue itself.
Where we sell Event tickets in combination with transport, it is a condition of sale that the transport/accommodation is used and the Arrangement is not purchased for the sole purpose of using the Event ticket.
We reserve the right to withhold issuing the Event ticket if the transport or accommodation is not used.

Re-Sale of Football Tickets

Event tickets purchased through Premier League Tours are strictly subject to the Event organisers’ terms and conditions. The re-sale of Event tickets may be prohibited by the Event organiser, and in some cases, re-sale may even be illegal. You are advised to seek permission from the Event organiser before attempting to re-sell any Event tickets.

STADIUMS

Stadium Admission and Facilities

Admission to stadiums is controlled by the Event organiser,stadium officials and/or the police. Where we provide you with a ticket for an Event, our responsibility is limited to the provision of the ticket itself and this does not guarantee your admission to the stadium. Your actions or behaviour or the behaviour or actions of others may result in you being denied entry to the stadium. Such circumstances are beyond our control and we accept no responsibility if this happens.
We accept no liability whatsoever for either the quality of any Event or stadium facilities, or for any injury sustained in the stadium any part of the tour during the Event (except where such injury is caused by our negligence).
Stadium and Event ticket regulations apply. They will be stated on your ticket or are available on request from the Event organiser.

Club/Association Membership Requirements

The issuing of Event tickets may be restricted to supporters who satisfy certain eligibility criteria as determined by clubs or associations connected with the Event.
We do not determine your eligibility for Event tickets but we have the right to refuse to accept a booking or cancel a confirmed booking where you have failed to comply with any club/association membership requirements advised to us by the club/association.
Cancellation can be made any time leading up to the Event but needs to be agreed with a Premier League Tours Representative with a negotiated compensation amount clearly stated in writing.
Any refunds will be at the discretion of Premier League Tours depending on whether Premier League Tours have incurred costs in relation to the booking.

CANCELLATION & CHANGES MADE PRIOR TO TRAVEL

Changes made by us prior to travel

From time to time we may have to change details of the Event you have booked. If any change will have a significant effect on your Event, we will tell you about it before your Event, if there is time. Changes we will tell you about include:
- A change of the time you are due to arrive at your Event/stadium which may mean you will miss the Event or the start of the Event.
- A change in the scheduled Event time so that you do not miss the Event or the start of the Event.
If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we will tell you about before you depart, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative Event of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost.
