This is where nztix automatically adds your name to a door list which we send to the venue. On the night of the show, the name provided during purchase needs to show photo ID at the venue box office. The name will then be marked off the list and all ticket holders from that order will be admitted.**Please make sure that all people arrive with the ticket holder**
Courier:
Courier Post Delivery - Your tickets will be couriered to the address you have specified in your billing details within 7 working days from placing your order. You MUST SUPPLY A RESIDENTIAL or BUSINESS ADDRESS or PO Box in full. Ensure someone will be at the address supplied as a signature will be required on delivery. You will be left notification details on how to pick up your envelope if a signature cannot be obtained at the address at the time of delivery.
(An additional charge will apply for any resending of tickets that are returned because of no one being able to sign or failing to collect them from the depot.)
Q: Can I change the name on the door list?
A: If you are unable to attend an event nztix is capable of changing a name on the door list 24hrs prior to an event. The only person capable of changing the name on a door list is the name in which the purchase was made.
Q: How do I get a refund?
A: All tickets purchased are non-refundable or non-transferable. This means we are unable to process refunds on tickets. Tickets must be treated like cash, if they are lost or stolen there is no recourse for a refund. If a show has been cancelled by the promoters nztix will send you an email explaining this and the purchase price will automatically refunded to the credit card on which the tickets were purchased.
Q: Why isn?t my order being processed?
A: This can be because of a number of reasons. When you have a problem in the purchase process nztix informs you of the problem by a notice which appears in a red box at the top of the screen. The reasons for troubles are as follows:
"Processing Error"
This may be due to a number of reasons such as a busy payment gateway or bank. It may also be because you accidentally entered wrong credit card details or you are attempting to use a credit card that we do not accept. Please double check that your credit card is a Visa® or MasterCard® and that you have entered the correct number and expiry date - then wait a moment and try again.
"Invalid account number"
Please double check that your credit card is a Visa® or MasterCard® and that you have entered the correct number and expiry date - then wait a moment and try again.
Please note: at this stage we do not accept Bankcard® , Amex® or Diners Club® cards.
"Timeout waiting for Processor response - Bank timed out"
The error is because our bank has indicated that it is currently 'busy'. This can be due to a large number of reasons one of which being the bank experiencing a very heavy demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a moment and then try again to process your order. If you continue to have problems please contact us and we will do our best to resolve the situation and help you process your order.
"Declined" and "Insufficient funds available"
Unfortunately, the bank has indicated that your credit card has been declined. This could be due to a number of reasons - possibly that you have insufficient funds. If you continue to have a problem and you are sure you have sufficient funds you can try contacting your bank, or try using another credit card. You can also contact us and we will do our best to help you out.
"Referral"
This means that your bank will not automatically process the funds through our system and has most likely put the funds for this transaction on hold. It may seem that the funds have left your account, however in most cases we have not received the money and it is being held by your bank awaiting additional authorization. You can contact your bank for more information. We have no control over your banks decision to do this but we will do everything within out power to make sure you receive the tickets you have tried to order.
"No response from Payment Gateway"
The error is because the payment gateway has indicated that it is currently 'busy'. This can be due to a large number of reasons one of which being the payment gateway is experiencing a very heavy demand. This issue is unfortunately out of our control. Please wait a moment and then try again to process your order.
If you continue to have problems please contact us and we will do our best to help you out.
Q: Why can?t I purchase more than 8 tickets?
A: As a conscientious ticketing agent we are trying to stop scalping any way we can. This limits the amount of tickets any one person can buy and will hopefully stop the scalpers from purchasing all the tickets.
Event Q's
Q: What are the age restrictions for an event?
A: Age restrictions for an event are determined by the promoter / band / venue.
They are as follows:
18+: Sorry juniors this show is for people who are over 18 only. No ID, No Entry.
All Ages: All Ages can attend.
All Ages Licensed: This means that the doors are open for all. However there will be licensed drinking areas where there is consumption of alcoholic beverages. You will need to show photo ID in order to gain access to these areas. No ID, No Entry to the licensed area.
Under 18: This is one for the younger generation. Anyone who is 18 or older than 18, will not be admitted. The rules for under 18 shows do vary per venue and for some shows guardians are allowed with kids under 18. Please check with the venue for clarification.
Q: How can I get in touch with a Promoter / Venue / Band?
A: Each band / promoter / venue will have their own website with a contact us section. This is the best way to get in touch with who ever you are chasing. nztix is unable to hand out contact details for promoters or bands.
Q: What time does a performer come on?
A: This is a question we cannot answer. The only information we are given in regards to times is the Doors Open time. This is provided online and is visible next to the venue name during the purchase process.
Q: Can I wear shorts / jandals or a singlet to this gig?
A: Each venue or event will have different rules in regards to what you may or may not be able to wear. Each event nztix sells tickets for has a disclaimer about the event on the first page of the purchase process. This will give you generic details of venue restrictions. Best bet is to visit that particular event / venues website and details of their rules and regulations will be available there.
Q: Can I take a chair / food / drinks or an umbrella to an event?
A: Once again this will vary between events. As a standard rule anything that may cause harm to another person will not be admitted into a venue / festival. Some events will allow food and drink to be brought in, however glass as a standard will not be admitted. You should check on the events / venues website for exact restrictions and regulations.
