    Changing How Many Places You Buy During Booking

    You can change the number of places you are buying while you fill in your details, right up until you reach the payment step.

    How to Change the NumberWhat Happens to Places You ReleaseGood to Know

    You can change the number of places you are buying while you fill in your details, right up until you reach the payment step.

    How to Change the Number

    1. On the booking page, look at the summary panel showing your event and entries
    2. Use the − and + buttons under an entry to lower or raise the number of places
    3. The estimated total updates straight away
    4. Take the last place off an entry and it is removed from your booking

    What Happens to Places You Release

    • Lowering the number releases those places back for other people immediately
    • Any details you already entered for people you no longer need are removed
    • If everything is removed, you go back to the event page to start again

    Good to Know

    • Once you reach the payment step the number is locked, so the price you confirm is the price you pay
    • To change it after that, cancel the payment and start the booking again
    • The final price is always confirmed by us before payment is taken
