Box Office Terms

Box Office Terms & Conditions

Prices for tickets are displayed on the Box Office page.

All competitors and mic-warmers in BABS contests must have a valid ticket in order to compete. They will need to purchase tickets in advance, and be in possession of a Full Weekend ticket. Please note that all competitors must have purchased their ticket(s) by 1st April 2026.

Non-competitors may either purchase a Full Weekend, a Day Ticket, Show tickets or session wristbands for individual events as required.

Under-18s: Please note that we follow the BABS Safeguarding Policy which states that "Under-18s must be accompanied by a nominated responsible adult". These persons should be named when purchasing tickets (enter details in the optional Notes box). It should also be noted that young people cannot be left backstage while their guardian is performing.

It is essential that you wear your Convention Ticket at all times whilst attending Convention functions.

If you do not have a Convention Ticket, session pass or Show ticket, you will not be allowed into the venue. Please note that show tickets and session wristbands only give limited access for a period of 30 minutes before and immediately after the show or session.

Convention Tickets must not be handed to other people to use; they are for the specific use of the named individual delegate. If anyone is found misusing the passes in this way, the club or quartet associated with the misuse will be fined.

Pre-event pricing will be available until 25th April 2026 and on the door pricing from 26th April 2026 until the event. Session tickets will only be available at the event.  

All competitors for BABS contests (with the exception of the Youth Quartet Contest) must be a BABS member and must also have registered as a member no later than 28 days before the start date of the contest. LABBS members competing in the Mixed Chorus Contest are eligible for complimentary dual membership, but must be full BABS members to compete in any other contest.

Dual members must also be registered with the quartet(s) and/or chorus(es) they are singing with no later than 28 days before the start date of the contest.

Guardian U5 tickets are available to the non-competing parent/partner/guardian of a competitor - this allows access to the venue for the full weekend and use of the Barbertots area during competition/show times. (As title implies, child must be 5 years old or under).

Please note that under-5s are not permitted into any competitions. However, mic-cooling is not considered part of the competition and under-5s will be permitted into the auditorium for this specific session only.

Requests for changes to a booking must be made by email to the BABS Events team: [email protected].

Name Changes

Changes are allowed up to 24th April 2026. No changes are possible after this date. If the pass has already been printed/received then the name change will be done at the event, and the original pass and proof of request and payment must be provided.

Cancellations

50% refund for cancellations up to 24th April 2026.
25% refund for cancellations up to midnight on 22nd May 2026.
0% refund for cancellations on or after the first day of the event (23rd May 2026).

These will not be approved or processed without return of the original ticket purchasing documents (name badges).

Any refund will be paid by bank transfer or credit/debit card refund if this was the original method used.

Any refund will incur a £5 admin fee.

Lost Passes

There will be a £10 fee to cover administration to replace a lost ticket.
