PLEASE NOTE:
There are a number of unauthorised car park operators offering parking spaces at reduced prices within the Industrial Estate on the approach to the Wembley Complex. We would strongly advise you not to use them for the following reasons: They are not always sanctioned by the land-owners.
They are not correctly insured to operate commercial car parks so you and your vehicle are not covered on their site if they are at fault.
The car parks are left unattended during and after the event.
There have been numerous reports of car crime in these unofficial car parks.
They are poorly lit for pedestrians as are the approach roads.
Help to reduce crime and protect your vehicle by parking in official car parks only. Please refer to the map for details and access points. Travelling by train…

BILL BAILEY WEMBLEY ARENA KING OF COMEDY
Funnyman Bill Bailey was crowned Wembley Arena’s comedy king on Thursday 29 November night. Bailey’s twenty date Tinselworm tour kicked off in Glasgow at the start of November, and culminated in two sold out shows at Wembley to over 20,000 people. He was presented with his award when he came off stage after the first show. Appropriately enough – given that he’s a team captain on TV’s music show Never Mind the Buzzcocks – Bailey joins an illustrious list of the very few comedy giants able to sell out the rock and roll venue

Bryan Adams recently celebrated his 25th gig at the famous venue while Lionel Richie topped off 4 sell out shows in 2007 by having his hands immortalised in bronze. Adams and Richie join other superstars including Madonna, Dolly Parton, Rick Parfit and Francis Rossi of Status Quo, George Michael and Cliff Richard.

THE PERFORMANCE
Cancellation right/right to make alterations
-
The Event Promoter reserves the right to make alterations to the advertised event, where the alterations are not material (see para 5 below).
-
The Event Promoter also reserves the right to:-
-
make material alterations (see para 5 below) to the advertised event; and
-
cancel or re-schedule the event, but will only do so for reasons beyond its reasonable control. (This might include, for example, performer's illness or a major power failure.)
-
Refund policy
-
If an event is cancelled, you will be entitled to a refund from the Event Promoter of the face value of the Ticket.
-
If the advertised event is re-scheduled or subject to a material alteration after the date you brought the Ticket, the Event Promoter will publish notice of this (see para 8 below) and operate a refund scheme under which, if you choose not to attend the event, you may return your unused Ticket for a refund of the face value of the Ticket. Applications for a refund should be made at the original point of purchase.
-
A 'material' alteration is a change which (through the non-appearance of acts) makes the event materially different to the event that purchasers of tickets (taken generally) could reasonably expect. This is judged by reference to the nature and billing of each event but, for example:
-
Where, other than supporting acts, there is only one billed act, the non-appearance of the billed headline act will be material; but
-
The non-appearance of a billed supporting act will not be material, even if it is not replaced.
Please note that acts billed as festivals or themed events are judged, for this purpose, by reference to the overall theme rather than individual acts scheduled to appear in them. (This includes all events where the event name does not include reference to any specific act). In these cases, no scheduled acts may be considered as headline acts, whatever their relative fame or prominence in the billing.
-
-
You will not be entitled to a refund in the event of any non-material changes to the event, or if you do attend the event, nor is there any more general right to a refund for unwanted tickets.

For information on the procedure for obtaining a refund, please contact the point of sale from which you purchased your Tickets. Certain conditions to obtaining a refund apply as follows: (i) the Event Promoter will only refund Tickets purchased from authorized agents; (ii) refunds will only be made on production of the whole unused Ticket; and (iii) refunds will only be made on Tickets that have not been presented to gain entrance into the event.
-
If the advertised event is re-scheduled or subject to a material alteration, refund requests will only be accepted if made as soon as possible after notification of the change and, in any event, prior to 1 week before the revised event.
-
If the advertised event is re-scheduled or subject to a material alteration at short notice (within 1 week of the revised event), or is cancelled, refund requests will only be accepted within 28 days after the original scheduled date of the performance.
