Newcastle Eagles Basketball Ltd., the Eagles Community Foundation and the Vertu Motors Arena, formerly Eagles Community Arena, (“The Eagles”) reserve the right to change these terms of use at any time and your use of tickets, attendance to an event or continued use of the website following such change shall be deemed to be your acceptance of that change.
These Terms and Conditions are additional to and should be read in conjunction with the Privacy Policy.
When making a box office or shop purchase you will, in addition, be subject to the “conditions of sale” current conditions of sale that apply to all such purchases.
“Event Ticket(s)” in any form of ticket for admission to an event at the Vertu Motors Arena (“the Arena”), including single event tickets, passes or season tickets secured through the box office.
Specifically relating to tickets for events you are subject to both the “conditions of issue” and the “conditions of entry”. You will be asked to confirm your agreement to these conditions of sale prior to checkout when securing tickets.
The Eagles reserve the right to refuse admission to the Arena or eject anyone who fails to comply with any of these terms.
When you checkout you are agreeing to buy Event Tickets or other any items at the price stated in accordance with the terms and conditions which, if the purchase is accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. It is therefore important that you read and accept the terms and conditions before you checkout.
Once you have completed your purchase, you will be asked to confirm that it is correct. If it is not, you can amend or cancel the order before submitting it. It is your responsibility to ensure it is correct before submission.
We will send a confirmation email on receipt of your order. This is an acknowledgement that we have received the order, and that our box office or shop are processing it. The contract between us will not be formed until we accept the purchase and dispatch the Event Tickets or shop items via the delivery method requested in your order.
Whilst we try to ensure that pricing and all information on our website is correct at all times, errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error in the price or nature of the Event Ticket or items you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible, and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled. If the order is cancelled, we will of course provide you with a full refund.

Holders have no entitlement to occupy the seat indicated on any subsequent game or season.
Event Tickets remain the property of the Eagles at all times and must be produced if required to do so by any official, steward, employee of the event attended in addition to any member of the Eagles staff or any police officer.

Event Ticket holders must not distribute or display any sponsorship or promotional materials in the Arena without written permission from the Eagles.
The Eagles reserve the right to take any legal or disciplinary action against any person(s) as it sees fit in connection with matters relating to the voiding of tickets, refusal of entry or ejection of that person from the Arena.
Changes to Events, Refunds & Exchanges
From time to time it may be necessary for an event date or timings to change and as such Event Tickets issued will remain valid for the rescheduled date. Where the opposition for a game changes the ticket will be valid for the original game date and not the new fixtures for that visiting team. Notice of such changes will be publicised on this website, on at least one of the Eagles’ social media channels and via email to existing Event Ticket holders.
In the event of the rescheduling, postponement or abandonment of an event further details will be posted on this website.
The Eagles have no liability whatsoever, including but not limited to any indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of enjoyment or travel/accommodation costs due to changes to events.
In order to obtain a refund, the Event Ticket must be returned to the Arena box office no later than 72 hours before the commencement of the event. A refund will only be issued to the person who purchased the Event Ticket originally. For the avoidance of doubt, the final decision belongs to the box office manager on the day.
Please note that any administration, fulfillment or service charge fees that may be applied to tickets in your order or the order as a whole, as well as any delivery fees after shipping, are non-refundable.
