Each ticket that you purchase is a license to attend a particular event, and is subject to any additional terms set forth on that ticket.

Melbourne Cabaret Limited does not directly sell tickets to events. Tickets to events are sold through the operator of the hosting venue and their ticketing providers.
Melbourne Cabaret Limited provides website links to these venues for the purpose of purchasing tickets. At the point of being directed to these websites, you, as a purchaser, will be subject to the terms and conditions of that respective website and its relevant ticketing policy.

Subject to rights that you may have under the Australian Consumer Law, which are not excluded, modified or restricted by this provision, Melbourne Cabaret Limited’s liability for the breach of any condition or warranty, whether express or implied (other than warranties or conditions in relation to title, encumbrances and quiet possession) is limited by Melbourne Cabaret Limited to a refund of the cost of your ticket.
7.2. Licence; Ejection and Cancellation; No Redemption Value
We reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with our reasonable requests.
