Decision details
Decision Maker: Assistant Director (Economic Growth & Leisure)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Historically, there is a strict no refund
policy implemented by all theatres; this can sometimes lead to
customer dissatisfaction.
It should be noted that this is an optional service and in no way
is it to be deemed compulsory.
The final purchase decision will reside entirely with the customer
at point of purchase.
Decision:
To provide an additional safeguard for theatre
customers it has been decided that the Princes Theatre, in line
with an increasing number of theatres across the country, offer
optional insurance on tickets purchased.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - Not to offer this service. This
will result in the continuation of a no refund policy and customer
disgruntlement.
Option 2 - To offer the option of ticket insurance as a service to
the Princes theatre customers (Chosen option)
