Subject to paragraph ‎9.3, Match Ticket(s) and Season Ticket(s) may be transferred to Guest(s) for their personal use only PROVIDED THAT such transfer takes place in consideration for no payment or benefit in kind in excess of the face value of the Match Ticket or the prorated value of the Season Ticket for the Match (as the case may be), and such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business. Stormers Rugby reserves the right to cancel any transferred tickets if there exist grounds to suspect that tickets were obtained fraudulently or unlawfully. The Ticket Holder shall at all times be responsible for his/her Guest(s). Any breach of these Conditions of Issue by such Guest(s) may be treated by Stormers Rugby as a breach by the Ticket Holder, who shall be liable for any and all measures/sanctions imposed by Stormers Rugby, as detailed in paragraphs ‎14.1 to ‎14.6 (inclusive).
    5. Where a Season Ticket Holder has transferred a Match Ticket or Season Ticket to a Guest, the Guest must provide the name and address of the Season Ticket Holder immediately upon request from any official, steward or employee of Stormers Rugby or any police officer. For the avoidance of doubt, a Ticket Holder shall not resell, assign or transfer the Match Ticket or Season Ticket to any person who is:
      1. subject to any restriction or banning order or is prevented from entering the Ground for any other reason, legal or otherwise or who has been charged with or found guilty of any related offence anywhere in the world; or
      2. not permitted by Stormers Rugby or otherwise to purchase a Match Ticket and/or Season Ticket (under the Ground Regulations, these Conditions of Issue or otherwise) and attend such Match(es).
    6. A Match Ticket and any Season Ticket (as applicable) remains the property of Stormers Rugby at all times and must be produced for inspection upon demand, together with evidence of the Ticket Holder’s identity, if required to do so by any official, steward or employee of Stormers Rugby or any police officer.
  3. Season Tickets
    1. Stormers Rugby’s ticketing platform currently accepts payments via Visa and MasterCard and other approved platforms. Stormers Rugby does not accept Diners International and American Express cards, cheques or cash.

    3. Where a Season Ticket Holder has changed their name for legal reasons (e.g. by application or following a marriage/civil partnership), the Season Ticket Holder may make a request to change the name on their Season Ticket by sending a request to Stormers Rugby. If the Season Ticket Holder requests a name change at the same time as they apply to renew their Season Ticket, then the name change will be free of charge. However, should a Season Ticket Holder request a name change at any other time, there will be a charge of a nominal administration fee.
  4. Changes to Dates and Refunds
    1. All Matches are organised and staged in accordance with the Rugby Regulations, applicable laws, Government guidance in force from time to time and approvals from the relevant Local Authority. No guarantee can be given by Stormers Rugby that any Match will take place at a particular time or on a particular date, that spectators will be permitted to enter the Ground for any Match in any particular numbers, that capacities may not be reduced after Match Tickets have been sold, or that any Match will take place at all. All information about times and dates of Matches is kept as up-to-date as possible but should be taken as a guide only and Stormers Rugby reserves the right (acting reasonably) to reschedule any Match at any time, without notice and, subject to paragraph ‎11.3, without any liability whatsoever.
    2. Stormers Rugby takes all reasonable care to ensure that the prices shown in advance are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system, but they are not always accurate and should be taken as a guide only.
    3. In the event of postponement of a Match:
      1. a Ticket Holder with a valid Match Ticket will be entitled to:
        1. a full refund less any reasonable administration fee provided they comply with the process set out at paragraph ‎11.7; or
        2. to receive the equivalent ticket for the subsequent rescheduled Match via such application procedure as Stormers Rugby stipulates a Ticket Holder with a Season Ticket will be entitled only to attend the rescheduled Match and not to a refund.
    4. In the event of cancellation of a Match, or a decision being made (whether by Stormers Rugby or any third party) that a Match must be played with reduced (or further reduced) capacity or without spectators, an impacted Ticket Holder will be entitled to a full refund less any reasonable administration fee and a Season Ticket Holder will be entitled to a prorated refund, provided they comply with the process set out at paragraph ‎11.7.
    5. In the event of abandonment of a Match after the spectators have been admitted to the Ground but before the kick-off of the Match, Match Tickets used by the spectators for entry to the abandoned Match shall remain valid for admission to the rescheduled Match (if any). In the event of abandonment of a Match after the spectators have been admitted to the Ground and after the kick-off of the Match, the price of the Match Tickets for the rescheduled Match (if any) shall be reduced by 50%. For the avoidance of doubt, new Match Tickets may be issued via such application procedure as Stormers Rugby stipulates.
    6. In the event of a Match postponement, abandonment or cancellation Stormers Rugby will have no liability to Ticket Holders other than as set out in this paragraph ‎11, including (but not limited to) for loss of enjoyment, loss of a chance, loss of time, or travel costs or accommodation costs.
    7. Subject to paragraph ‎11.8, in order to obtain a refund, a request must be submitted to Stormers Rugby (as applicable) by no later than 48 hours after the scheduled kick off time of the Match.

    8. No refunds will be given in accordance with this paragraph ‎11.8 where there has been a breach of the Conditions of Issue (in which case paragraph ‎14.5 will apply).
    9. In the event of the Season Ticket and/or Match Ticket being cancelled as a result of the death or hospitalization, the Ticket Holder or its Guests shall be entitled to a full refund.
  5. Lost or Stolen Match Tickets and Season Tickets
    1. Subject to paragraph ‎12.3, Stormers Rugby shall not be obliged to issue a replacement for any lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed Match Ticket or Season Ticket.
    2. In the event that a Season Ticket is not available for presentation at any individual Match, Stormers Rugby shall not be obliged to admit the purchaser/holder or issue any other form of ticket for that Match. If, at Stormers Rugby’s sole discretion, a duplicate Match Ticket is issued, Stormers Rugby may require payment of a reasonable administration charge and/or may cancel and reissue the ticket.
    3. If a Season Ticket is irreparably damaged, lost, stolen or destroyed, a duplicate Season Ticket shall be issued by Stormers Rugby as soon as reasonably practicable after the payment of a reasonable administration charge. Only one such duplicate Season Ticket will be issued per Season and the Season Ticket Holder will be required to sign a document confirming that the original Season Ticket is irreparably lost, stolen or destroyed and indemnifying Stormers Rugby against any direct or indirect consequences of any false representation or statement to Stormers Rugby.
    4. If a Season Ticket is lost and a replacement Season Ticket is issued to the Season Ticket Holder by the Stormers Rugby ticket office, a reasonable non-refundable administration fee will be levied. Should any Season Ticket or Match Ticket not arrive in the normal course after purchase (if the option for receipt by courier has been selected), the purchaser will be required to sign a document confirming this and undertaking to immediately return the missing Match Ticket or Season Ticket to Stormers Rugby should it come into the purchaser’s possession at any time.
