HHLDN Attendance Policy Change

January 2020

Important update:
Due to high demand for tickets to come to our events and to make sure everyone has an opportunity to attend, we are implementing a new policy for no-shows. We know that sometimes people book a ticket but find themselves unable to attend. We understand the problem and we ask that you make sure you cancel your ticket or notify us as soon as possible. Those who fail to inform us will be marked as a no-show. If you have two ‘no-shows’ in a row, you will only be able to attend the following 3 events by buying a £6 supporter ticket.

​

We hope that you understand the necessity of this policy to help us keep on top of attendance figures and to make sure that everyone who wants to come, has a fair chance of getting a ticket.
