HOME MATCH TICKET

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

SEASON 2019-2020

 

  1. Issue of Home Match Ticket

 

1.1The issue of a Home Match Ticket and subsequent access to the Ground is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Entry (as may be amended from time to time and which can be found on or accessed via the Website or can be provided upon written request to the Club).

 

1.2Home Match Tickets are for the use of supporters of the Club only. By applying for the Home Match Ticket and/or using the same you hereby warrant and represent that you are a supporter of the Club and/or that you are not a supporter of the Visiting Club.

 

1.3The Club, as selling agent for and on behalf of ASMCL licenses you to use Home Match Tickets. As a result, ASMCL will have all of the rights and obligations of the Club under these Terms and Conditions and your rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions shall lie against ASMCL only.

 

1.4The Home Match Ticket remains the property of the Club at all times. The Home Match Ticket may be cancelled by the Club at any time without providing any reason. A refund will be given to you, in the absolute discretion of the Club and/or in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Entry, in the event of any such cancellation.

 

1.5The use of any automated software or computer system to search for, reserve, buy or otherwise obtain Home Match Tickets (including sending information from your computer to another computer where such software or system is active) is strictly prohibited. If the Club reasonably believes that you have searched for, reserved, bought or otherwise obtained Home Match Tickets using, or with the assistance of, such software, the Club may cancel your Home Match Tickets (and any subsequent Home Match Tickets purchased by you) without payment of any refund. If you hold a Membership Card, the Club may also cancel that Membership Card (and all associated benefits) without payment of any refund of the Fee to you. If you have any queries about this, you may contact the Arsenal box office. The use of such software to search for, reserve, buy or otherwise obtain Home Match Tickets may amount to a criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 or the Breaching of Limits on Ticket Sales Regulations 2018 and the Club reserves the right to inform the police if it reasonably believes that a Home Match Ticket has been purchased using such software.

 

1.6In the event of any Home Match Ticket issued under these Terms and Conditions becoming lost or stolen, you must inform the Club immediately. In addition, if any Home Match Ticket is stolen, you must also inform the police immediately.

2.1By purchasing and/or accepting and/or holding a Home Match Ticket and/or using a Home Match Ticket to gain access to the Ground, you: (a) certify that you have read, understood and accepted; (b) agree to be bound by and to comply with; and (c) agree to bring to the attention of others, as required below, the Terms & Conditions of Entry.

 

2.2The Home Match Ticket shall only entitle the User to gain admission to the Ground after it has been validated by the control readers located at the appropriate turnstiles. The Ground access steward(s) have strict instructions to, and will, refuse admission to any person in the event that such person’s Home Match Ticket is not so validated by such control readers.

 

2.3All persons (including children) must have a valid card or ticket when entering the Ground. The Club will not allow children (or any other person) to be carried through the turnstiles without a valid card or ticket for the Match.

 

2.4A Home Match Ticket permits you to occupy at the Match the seat indicated on the Home Match Ticket or stated on the confirmation receipt/email of purchase in respect of your electronic entry card or such other alternative seat of equivalent value as the Club may, from time to time, allocate to you at its reasonable discretion. All access to the Ground pursuant to a Home Match Ticket shall be for the purposes of private enjoyment of the Match only, not for any commercial purpose (and no authorisation is given or implied in respect of the carrying out of any commercial activities).

 

2.5Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall constitute or imply any entitlement to occupy the seat indicated on the Home Match Ticket or ticket confirmation in any subsequent match or season.

 

2.6Save as set out in clause 2.7 below, you shall not capture, log, record, transmit, play, issue, show or otherwise communicate (by digital or other means) any Material in relation to the Match, any players or other persons present in the Ground and/or the Ground, nor may you bring into the Ground or use within the Ground (or provide to, facilitate or otherwise assist another person to use within the Ground) any equipment or technology which is capable of capturing, logging, recording, transmitting, playing, issuing, showing or otherwise communicating (by digital or other means) any such Material. Any person acting in breach of this provision may have such equipment or technology confiscated and/or will be required to deliver up any tapes, films, disks, memory cards, memory sticks or other recordings of the Material (and all copies thereof) in whatever form, to the PL and/or the Club. In addition, the Club reserves the right to eject you from the Ground in circumstances where you breach this paragraph 2.6.

 

2.7Mobile telephones and other similar mobile devices are permitted within the Ground PROVIDED THAT (a) they are used for personal and private use only (which, for the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, shall not include the capturing, logging, recording, transmitting, playing, issuing, showing, or any other communication of any Material for any commercial purposes); and (b) no Material that is captured, logged, recorded, transmitted, players, issued, shown or otherwise communicated by a mobile telephone or other mobile device may be published or otherwise made available to any third parties including, without limitation, via social networking sites.

 

2.8The copyright, database right and all other rights, title and interest in and to all Material that you produce at the Ground in relation to the Match, any players or other persons present in the Ground and/or the Ground (whether produced in breach of clause 2.6 above, or pursuant to clause 2.7 above, or otherwise) is hereby assigned to the PL and the Club including by way of present assignment of future copyright pursuant to section 91 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. You further agree (if and whenever required to do so by the PL and/or the Club) to promptly execute all instruments and to do all things necessary to vest the right, title and interest in such rights to the PL and the Club absolutely and with full title guarantee.

 

2.9Save for official Club merchandise and/or other football related clothing worn in good faith, you shall not bring into, use, wear or display within the Ground any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials.

 

2.10You shall not offer or distribute (either free or for sale by any person) within the Ground any consumer article or commercial product of any nature. For the avoidance of doubt this clause shall not prevent the lawful distribution of text publications in any format which do not infringe clause 2.9 above where both the content and the publication are lawful in all respects and do not in the Club’s reasonable opinion constitute a threat to public order.

 

2.11The Club reserves the right to refuse admission to, or eject from, the Ground any person who fails to comply with the Terms and Conditions of Entry.

 

2.12Without prejudice to the representation at clause 1.2 above, and in light of the Home Match Ticket holders being grouped together in designated areas, any attempt to gain access to the Ground wearing or carrying apparel (including, without limitation, hats and/or scarves) that demonstrates support for the Visiting Club, may result in admission being refused or you being ejected from the Ground and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat will be offered.

 

  1. Use of Home Match Ticket

 

3.1Subject to clause 3.3 below, the Home Match Ticket is issued for your sole use and you shall not sell, dispose of, assign, transfer, lend or otherwise deal with the Home Match Ticket or the benefit of it to any other person without the prior written consent of the Club. Further you shall not use the Home Match Ticket for any commercial purpose. The reference to selling the Home Match Ticket includes where, in the Club’s reasonable opinion, a User: (a) offers or attempts and/or takes preparatory steps, to sell a Home Match Ticket (including, without limitation, via any website or online auction site); (b) exposes or attempts and/or takes preparatory steps to expose, a Home Match Ticket for sale; (c) makes, or attempts and/or takes preparatory steps to expose a Home Match Ticket available for sale by another person; (d) advertises that a Home Match Ticket is available for purchase.

 

3.2The Home Match Ticket may not be: (a) offered as a prize in any promotion or competition or transferred, assigned, lent or sold to any third party as part of a hospitality or travel package; (b) given (or offered to be given) to a person who pays or agrees to pay for another good or service; or (c) used for any other commercial purpose, all save as expressly authorised by the PL or the Club.

 

3.3If more than one Home Match Ticket is issued to you, one Home Match Ticket must be retained by you for personal use (subject to the provisions below) and the remainder may be transferred to a Guest(s) for his/her/their personal use only, PROVIDED THAT:

 

(A)               such transfer takes place in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of the Home Match Ticket;

 

(B)               such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business;

 

(C)               such transfer to any Guest(s) will be subject to the Terms and Conditions of Entry which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause or any rights to a refund under clause 5.2) apply to and bind each Guest as if he/she was the original purchaser of the Home Match Ticket (and you must inform the Guest(s) of this); and

 

(D)               you will provide the name and address of your Guest(s) when asked to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club and/or any police officer.

 

3.4You shall be responsible for any breach by a User of the Terms and Conditions of Entry. In the event that any User breaches any Terms and Conditions of Entry, you and that User shall each be held liable for such breach.

 

3.5The Home Match Ticket will remain the property of the Club at all times and must be produced together with evidence of your identity if required to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club or any police officer. The Club reserves the right to require the immediate return of the Home Match Ticket at any time.

 

3.6Any Home Match Ticket obtained or used in breach of the Terms and Conditions of Entry shall be automatically void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Home Match Ticket shall be nullified. Any person seeking to use a Home Match Ticket in breach of the Terms and Conditions of Entry in order to gain entry to the Ground or remain at the Match will be considered to be a trespasser and will be refused entry to, or ejected from, the Ground in respect of the Match and/or may have his/her Home Match Ticket suspended, cancelled or withdrawn. In the event of any suspension, cancellation or withdrawal in accordance with this clause 3.6 no refund shall be payable. The Club further reserves its right to take any legal or disciplinary action against any person(s) as it sees fit in connection with such matters, including a claim for an account of any profits made from an unauthorised use of a Home Match Ticket.

 

3.7Any User, acting alone or with others, whose conduct, or incitement of others, results in disciplinary or legal action against the Club by any Football Authority or any relevant law enforcement authorities, shall be both individually responsible and liable, and collectively responsible and liable with you, to the Club for any loss the Club thereby suffers. The User shall also be both individually responsible and liable, and collectively responsible and liable with you, to the Club for any loss the Club suffers as a result of the behaviour of a third party gaining access to the Match using the ticket with the User’s permission.

 

3.8The unauthorised sale or disposal of a Home Match Ticket may amount to a criminal offence, including under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, and such sale or disposal is also illegal under the terms of section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006. The Club may inform the police when it becomes aware that ticket(s) have been sold or disposed of illegally and will press for charges to be brought against those breaking the law. We may also notify the PL about ticket touting activities relating to you, who may in turn notify other football clubs, event holders, any Football Authority and/or the relevant law enforcement authorities. We may also notify other football clubs directly. Similarly, the Club may receive information from the police, the PL and other football clubs relating to

 

ticket touting activities elsewhere in the UK. The information that may be collected and shared by the Club and the above third parties could include personal data such as your name, contact details, image, data relating to criminal offences and your past ticket activity and purchases (including payment details). The Club processes this information where necessary to identify and prevent ticket touting activities, which is in our legitimate interests and the interests of other football clubs. The processing may also be necessary in order to prevent or detect unlawful acts. For more information about how we handle personal data and your rights you can refer to our Privacy Policy or contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@arsenal.co.uk.

 

3.9By entering the Ground, all persons acknowledge that photographic images and/or audio, visual and/or audio-visual recordings and/or feeds (and/or stills taken therefrom) may be taken of them and may also be used, by way of example and without limitation, in televised coverage of the game or by the Club, any other Club Group Company and/or any Football Authority or others (including commercial partners and accredited media organisations), in perpetuity, by way of any present or future media, for marketing, editorial, training, or promotional purposes or for any other purpose deemed reasonable by the Club. All persons further acknowledge that photographic images and/or audio, visual and/or audio-visual recordings and/or feeds (and/or stills taken therefrom) may be used (by the Club or by a third party, such as a law enforcement body) to identify them as an individual, where permitted by data protection laws, for the purposes of preventing or detecting crime, or any breach of the Terms and Conditions of Entry.

 

3.10All persons attending Matches acknowledge that the Matches are public events. The appearance and actions of the persons attending inside and in the perimeter of the Ground are public in nature and all persons attending agree that they shall have no expectation of privacy with regard to their actions or conduct at the Matches.

 

3.11Further to clause 3.9 above, if such person is under 18 years of age, the parent, guardian or responsible adult who is accompanying them into the Ground shall be deemed to have provided consent on their behalf.

 

3.12If a User is not 16 years old or over, his/her parent(s) and/or guardian(s) are also responsible for his/her actions, conduct and compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

 

  1. Pricing and ticket information

 

Whilst the Club tries to ensure that pricing and ticketing information on the Website is correct at all times, errors may occasionally occur. If the Club discovers an error in the price or nature of the ticket the Club has ordered, the Club will inform you as soon as reasonably practicable, and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If the Club is unable to contact you, it will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled. If the order is cancelled, the Club will of course provide you with a full refund (including booking fees). Please note that it is your responsibility to check the relevant ticket delivery method and the relevant booking and/or delivery fees (if any), as these may change on a Match-by-Match basis.

 

  1. Changes to dates, refunds and exchanges

 

5.1No guarantees can be given by the Club that the Match will take place at a particular time or on a particular date. The Club reserves the right to reschedule the Match or, if necessary, play the Match out of view of the public, without notice and without any liability whatsoever.

 

5.2In the event of the postponement or abandonment of the Match (or if the Match has, for any reason, to be played out of view of the public), you will be entitled to receive a full refund (including any booking and/or administration fee) on tickets purchased direct from the Club or its authorised agent or receive the equivalent ticket for the subsequent re-arranged Match (if any) via such application procedure as the Club stipulates, subject to any and all applicable terms and conditions. The Club will have no further, or other, liability whatsoever, including (but not limited to) for any indirect or consequential loss or damage including (but not limited to) loss of enjoyment or travel or accommodation costs.

 

5.3Subject to paragraph 5.4 below, in order to obtain a refund on the Home Match Ticket, in accordance with paragraph 5.2 above, a written request must be received by the Club’s box office no later than 72 hours prior to the time of the advertised kick off of the Match. A refund (excluding booking and administration fees and subject to a cancellation fee) will only be issued on production of identification that the individual requesting the refund is the person to whom the Home Match Ticket was originally sold. For the avoidance of doubt, the final decision belongs to the Club.

 

5.4As any Home Match Ticket(s) obtained through the “Ticket Exchange Service” are purchased from the seller (rather than the Club), the Club will not be liable for any refunds of tickets purchased through the Ticket Exchange Service.

 

5.5The Club does not guarantee that the team for the Match will necessarily only be selected from the Club’s regular First Team players. The team manager may consider it desirable on occasions to omit regular First Team players and select the team from the full playing squad.

 

  1. Any lost or stolen Home Match Tickets

 

6.1In order to gain admission to the Ground, the relevant Home Match Ticket must be presented in its entirety at the Match.

 

6.2The Club is not responsible for any Home Match Ticket which is forgotten, lost, stolen, defaced, damaged or destroyed. If the Home Match Ticket is forgotten, lost, stolen, defaced, damaged or destroyed, a duplicate card or ticket may be issued to you, at the Club’s discretion, upon payment by you to the Club of a non-refundable administration fee of £10.00 at the Club’s match day ticket office. The Club reserves the right to require proof of identity and/or withdraw this duplicate ticket facility for the Match without notice. Please note that it is your responsibility to contact the Club and/or visit the Club’s match day ticket office on a Match day in the event that you do not have access to your Home Match Ticket for that Match.

7.3In the event of such cancellation, withdrawal, refusal and/or ejection pursuant to clauses 7.1 and/or 7.2, no refund will be paid. Without prejudice to the general nature of the above, the following actions shall each constitute a serious breach of the Terms & Conditions of Entry by a User and shall enable the Club to exercise its rights as described in clauses 8.1 and 8.2 above (as the case may be):

7.5The Club will not tolerate racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse in any form. The Club wants the atmosphere at the Ground to be welcoming to all who attend its games.

In addition, the Home Match Ticket will be immediately withdrawn and no refund will be given.

(C)               the Club has reasonable grounds to suspect that you have searched for, reserved, bought or otherwise obtained the Home Match Ticket with the intention of selling or transferring it in breach of these Terms and Conditions.

 

7.7Without prejudice to the rights of the Club under this clause 7, the Club shall be entitled to terminate these Terms and Conditions (and cancel any Home Match Tickets) with immediate effect by notice in writing to you in the event that you are at any time, or any other User is, at the time he/she enters the Ground, subject to a banning or other order prohibiting him/her from entering the Ground or any other stadium.

8.1You shall, and shall procure that any User shall, at all times:

 

(A)               use the Ground in a proper and lawful manner and not so as to cause any nuisance, annoyance or inconvenience to the Club or any other person (including any other spectators or visitors to the Ground or local residents) or to render void or voidable, in part or whole, any insurance maintained by the Club in respect of the Ground; and

 

(B)               ensure that the Ground is not damaged (fair wear and tear excepted).

 

8.2You shall not make, and will procure that no other User makes, without the prior written consent of the Club, any public statement or announcement linking, or implying any relationship between, or engage in any marketing, advertising or promotional activity which links, or implies any relationship between, you and the Club.

The Club shall take all reasonable precautions to maintain the security of the Ground between Matches but it shall not be responsible in any way for the loss of, or damage to, any property of you (or any other User) in the Ground (including, without limitation, any property left behind by you (or any other User) in the Ground). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Club shall be entitled to dispose of any property left behind by you or any other User in the Ground.

10.1The Club reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate to you an alternative seat anywhere in the Ground, including (but without limiting the circumstances when that discretion may be exercised):

(C)               when the visiting club is allocated the entire or any part of the stand at the Ground due to be occupied by you; or

 

(D)               when the Club, the police or any other relevant authority or Football Authority otherwise considers it desirable in the interests of safety, crowd control or other Club requirements to re-allocate the seat.

11.1The Club will be responsible for carrying out all repairs and maintenance (including ordinary cleaning and rubbish removal) to the Ground provided that the Club will not accept liability for, and shall not be in breach of its obligations by reason of, any breakages or defects to any part of the Ground which are not the result of fair wear and tear or are caused by the acts or omissions of any User or any other person in possession of a Home Match Ticket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Club will not be liable for and will not be in breach of its obligations by reason of any breakages in, or defects to, the Ground if, pursuant to clause 10 or otherwise, it provides you with an alternative seat (or seats) at the Ground or any other stadium where the First Team plays its home football matches in any competition.

 

11.2The Club has the right to charge you for the cost of repairs, maintenance, replacement or cleaning of any part of the Ground to which you (or any other User) have access, or any fixtures or fittings therein, resulting from any act or omission of you (or any other User) other than as a result of fair wear and tear.
