TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Introduction

(b) By purchasing a Ticket, customers agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (customer or you) which form a separate agreement with RFC. Each Ticket that you purchase may also be subject to additional terms and conditions relevant to the particular Event as set out on that Ticket. To the extent of any inconsistency between these T&Cs and the terms of any Ticket, these T&Cs will prevail.
