We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Ticket’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Ticket to you. If a Ticket’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Ticket, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
