Cancellation & No Show Charges
If you change your mind, you can cancel your platform booking up to 3 hours before the start time without charge. Late cancellation will incur a £2 charge.
If you book a platform but do not attend you will be charged a no show fee. To ensure that the number of 'no shows' is limited, our no show fee is £3.
Please cancel your platform booking in advance when unable to attend. This saves you from being charged and gives another member on the waiting list the chance to book a platform.
