What Information We Have & Where We Get It

Create an account & buy from us. When you create an account, purchase a product from us (such as VIP experiences or merchandise), we will collect your contact and billing information. When you register for a presale, we collect your contact information.

Buy tickets to our events. When you purchase tickets to one of our events, or an event for which we are a co-promoter, we will receive your information from ticket agents or e-commerce platforms used to sell tickets for our promoted and co-promoted events, or the venues we hire to put on the event. This includes your name, contact details and ticket purchase information, such as number of tickets bought and seat number(s).

Attending one of our events. When you attend one of our events, we collect your information via our free Wifi (if you register to use it) and, if available, via cashless payment wristbands which can be used to access events and to make purchases onsite at the event.

Fan images and CCTV. When attending one of our events at a venue or festival we collect your image and likeness whether this is through CCTV (we use signs where CCTV is used), or when videographers or photographers are running campaigns at venues or festivals. If you wish to object to this information being collected see the Your Rights & Choices section below.

Using our website and apps. When you use our websites or apps, we collect information such as the browser and device you're using, your IP address, your location, the site you came from, what you did and didn't use our site/app for, or the site you visit when you leave us. For more information on how we collect this information, see our Cookies Policy.

Safeguarding. When you attend one of our promoted shows, we operate safeguarding programs to ensure the safety of all our fans. This involves keeping records of incidents such as evictions, if someone falls ill and requires medical assistance and criminal activities.

Competitions. When you enter into competitions we run, we'll use your information to administer your entry and contact you if you've been successful. If the prize is administered by a third party, we'll let you know who they are.

Fan experience & customer support. When you contact our Customer Services teams with a query or provide us with feedback, we record that interaction for evidentiary purposes and to provide support related to your query.

Using social media. When you use a social media feature within our website or apps, and you post to social media platforms, the social media site will provide us with some information about you.

Processing children's data. In the few instances where we collect personal information from children, we always seek parental consent and will only ever collect such information for the purposes specified when we collect it.

Geodemographic data suppliers. We use suppliers who collate geodemographic data which assists us in better personalising our services to you. If you'd prefer that we do not do this, see the Your Rights & Choices section below.

How We Use Your Information & Why

1. For the performance of our contract with you

When you make purchases. We use your information when you enter into a contract with us (such as VIP experiences or merchandise) so we can:
- process your order;
- take payment;
- send you customer service emails, including order confirmations and event related emails;
- provide you with customer support; and
- register you for event presales.
Event Partner(s). To share with Event Partner(s) who provide services for the event such as co-promoters, ticketing agents or venues to enable them to run the event on our behalf, allocate seating or notify you if there has been a change to the event or provide important event information.

2. For our legitimate business interests

Market research. To conduct market research and analysis which helps improve and customise our products and services.

Fan feedback. To contact you with satisfaction surveys, or to participate in user research (such as focus groups). We include an unsubscribe option for this kind of contact should you no longer wish to receive them.

Images. Where you attend our events, we sometimes take photos and sometimes post these on social media or use them in marketing campaigns. Our signage at the event will let you know, and you can always request we remove you.

Personalisation. To create a profile about you to help us personalise our services to you. For example, if you purchase tickets to pop events and you have consented to our marketing, we will inform you about other pop events we think you might be interested in.

Further information about personalisation:

About your personalisation settings
We can give you more of what you want when we know you better. To make sure our messages and website are relevant to you, we create a user profile with the information we know about you and how you use our services.

How to turn off personalisation
Simply turn off Allow personalisation in your account settings. We'll stop any personalisation and only use your data for essential services, such as screening for fraud or tout activity - and for any Verified Fan presales. If you do not have an account, you can contact us to turn this off.

What happens if you turn off personalisation?
We will no longer use your data to determine what you might be interested in. This means you won't get any personal recommendations and any newsletters youve subscribed to will be generic (although if youve asked to receive alerts about specific artists or venues, you'll still receive these).

We will still perform profiling activities where we need to do so to deliver our services to you, for example for fraud screening purposes and where you specifically request we do so such as for a Verified Fan Presale.

Is turning off personalisation the same as turning off cookies?
No, they're separate. To control your cookies settings, you can use our cookies consent tool. See our Cookies Policy for more.

3. For our overriding legitimate business interests

To prevent or detect unlawful behaviour, to protect or enforce our legal rights or as otherwise permitted by law. For example, making sure tickets get into the hands of real fans. As such, we may use your information to prevent ticket touting, misuse of our intellectual property (e.g. our or our Event Partner's brands), fraud, or other crimes.

Event security. To protect our fans and ensure the security of our and our Event Partners operations.

4. Where you've given your consent

Marketing. To contact you with information or offers regarding our upcoming events, products or services this may be via email, via push and web notifications, via SMS, or social media platforms. You can change your marketing preferences at any time, see Your Choices and Rights section below.

Location services. For example, our apps request location permission for functions like browsing events near your location and receiving push notifications about them or seeing yourself on the map at an event.

Crowd management analytics. Some of our apps use crowd management software so we can see how many people are at a particular stage, or when the busiest times at the bars are. This helps us more efficiently allocate our resources. We turn this on shortly before the festival or event and turn it off shortly after so we're not tracking devices when we don't need to.

Advertising and cookies. To deliver tailored advertising and marketing communications on our websites and apps (see our Cookies Policy for more information).

Commercial Partners. We sometimes work with Commercial Partners who we share data with. These are third party data controllers that we work with to provide additional value-add services, such as our travel packages, sponsors or exclusive presale deals. In some circumstances, where sharing is not necessary for us to perform the contract you have requested, we will request your consent prior to sharing and provide information regarding what will be shared with whom.

Data processors. Our third-party service providers (sometimes known as data processors) such as cloud computing providers who provide the IT infrastructure on which our products and systems are built.

Event Partners. Event Partners are entities we work with to put the event on, such as our co- promoters, ticketing agents, venues, or the artists. We share your information with our Event Partners so that they can run the event and for other reasons described in their privacy policies. Event Partners will be named and a link to their privacy policy will be provided, you will be given the option to subscribe to receiving marketing from them.

Commercial Partners. These are third parties we work with to provide additional value-add services. As the Commercial Partners we work with varies between services, we use just-in-time information to let you know when data will be shared with them and that it will be processed in accordance with their privacy notice.
