1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the TicketPlug platform ("Platform"), available at ticketplug.co.uk, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Description of Service
TicketPlug is a commission-based ticketing platform that enables event organisers to create, manage, and sell tickets for events. The Platform also allows registered users to become ticket sellers, creating an organic distribution network for event organisers.
TicketPlug acts as an intermediary between event organisers, ticket sellers, and ticket buyers. TicketPlug is not the organiser of any event listed on the Platform unless explicitly stated.
3. User Accounts
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information during registration
- Keep your account credentials secure and confidential
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
- Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent activity.
4. Ticket Purchases
When you purchase a ticket through the Platform:
- You are entering into a contract with the event organiser, not with TicketPlug
- Tickets are delivered electronically via the Platform
- Each ticket contains a unique QR code for event entry
- Tickets are non-transferable unless the event organiser permits transfers
- You must present a valid ticket (digital or printed) for entry to the event
- Duplicate or counterfeit tickets will be refused entry
For information about refunds, please see our Refund Policy.
5. Selling Tickets
Registered users may apply to become ticket sellers on the Platform. As a seller:
- You receive a unique referral link for each event you choose to sell
- Commission rates are set by the event organiser and displayed before you opt in
- Commission is earned on each completed ticket sale made through your referral link
- Commission earnings are tracked in real time via your seller dashboard
- You must not misrepresent events, ticket availability, or pricing
- You must not engage in spamming or other deceptive marketing practices
TicketPlug reserves the right to revoke seller status for violations of these Terms.

- Notify TicketPlug and ticket holders promptly of any event changes or cancellations
- Process refunds in accordance with our Refund Policy and applicable law

- Free tickets incur no service fee
- The service fee covers payment processing, platform access, seller network, and customer support
- There are no upfront costs, monthly subscriptions, or hidden fees

- Payout timing is subject to our payout schedule and any applicable holding periods

- TicketPlug's total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid through the Platform in the twelve months preceding the claim
- TicketPlug is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
