Terms & Conditions
Please be advised that listed below are the guidelines on which this and all future events presented by The HUB Productions will adhere to.
Ticketing & Seating
1. Purchase of tickets to an event indicates acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as advised on the Hub Productions website. Terms and Conditions also apply to venue staff, Hub Productions staff, volunteers and freelance hirees, retailers and competition winners. Attendance of the event in any capacity constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. All Terms and Conditions apply unless the Hub Productions or DCA Enterprises specifically advise otherwise in writing.
2. Unless otherwise stated tickets are mailed out two weeks prior to an event via registered post. Should you miss the two week cut off period, or live outside of Australia, the tickets will be available for collection at the door. Should your tickets not arrive prior to the event, or are delayed for any reason, photo ID or your receipt will be required to enter the event and may be presented at the door for that purpose. Failure of tickets to arrive does not constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions and does not warrant a refund, as entry can be made with your receipt or photo ID.
3. ID or e-mailed conformation will be required to collect tickets at the door. Group tickets booked together will be mailed out to, or must be collected by, the individual who placed the booking.
4. Your ticket must be carried at all times and displayed on request. Failure to do so will prevent you from accessing the events.
5. Your seating number will be displayed on your ticket and seats are issued on the basis of the date you booked.
6. Tickets purchased at the door, if available, may be at a higher price.
7. We reserve the right to refuse ticket sales to individuals or to impose conditions on the sale or means of payment of tickets.
8. a) All tickets are non refundable once purchased. In the case where an event is postponed, tickets will automatically be transferred to the newly announced convention date (please note that should ticket prices rise there will be no additional charge). Should you be unable to attend the event on the newly announced date your ticket will be rolled over to a future event.
b) In the case of event cancellation, your purchase will be refunded, or you may roll your ticket over to a future event. Ticket rollover is not available under any other circumstances.
c) Change of advertised guests due to work commitments or other circumstances does not qualify for ticket refunds. Please note that every effort will be made to replace the guests.
d) Further, DCA Enterprises reserves the right to change event dates in order to best suit the majority of the guests and attendees. As tickets are non-refundable should a guest cancel their appearance at an event, it is advisable not to purchase tickets based solely on the appearance on one guest, unless the entire event revolves around that guest's appearance only.
e) In the case of extenuating circumstances, where The Hub Productions & DCA Enterprises choose, as a gesture of goodwill, to allow a ticket to be transferred from a non-cancelled event, the ticket holder is not entitled to a refund should the event to which the ticket has been transferred subsequently be cancelled. The ticket may only be rolled over to an alternative event, or held in credit towards a future event.
9. Attendees are responsible to make their own way to event locations. The Hub Productions & DCA Enterprises are not responsible for any transit costs to events and will not reimburse said costs in case of event postponement, cancellation, or change of venue. In the event of change of venue, the Hub will endeavour to obtain a new venue within a reasonable distance of the original venue for the attendees' convenience, but makes no guarantees in this regard. Up to date details for each event will be made available via the Hub Productions website, but the onus is on attendees to ensure that they are fully aware of venue, price, date and any other details pertaining to the event. The Hub Productions cannot be held accountable for failure of attendees to obtain up to date event details prior to the event.
10. Processing of orders can take up to two business days under normal circumstances. Upcoming or currently ongoing events may result in longer processing times.

2. Cameras are permitted into the event. However, due to repeated infractions by attendees at past events, and as per the requests of guests' management, cameras are now only permitted to be used during the first five (5) minutes of each Q&A session. Anyone caught using a camera, or any other device, such as mobile phones, to take pictures at any other point during the guest panels will receive one warning only. A second infraction will result in the attendee being removed from the event with no refund of their ticket.
3. A professional photograph session will be held with the guests in all venues. Photograph opportunities are available as per the specific event page. Please note these are limited. Personal photos of the guests are also strictly prohibited during the professional photograph session.
