Sending, collecting & lost tickets

E-tickets will be emailed at the time of booking. An e-ticket can be shown on a mobile device or printed on A4 paper for entry.

It is your responsibility to inform MIF of any change of email address.

Refunds & exchanges

Tickets cannot be returned, nor money refunded, except in the case of cancelled, rescheduled or sold out events. Please contact tickets@mif.co.uk if you wish to return tickets to sold-out events or obtain a refund for cancelled or rescheduled events.

We cannot guarantee the resale of tickets which have been returned for sold-out events (so may not be able to provide a refund) but we will use reasonable efforts to resell the tickets on your behalf. Payments by MIF for cancelled, rescheduled or resold tickets will be made to the original method of payment.

Where possible, MIF will facilitate ticket exchange for an alternative performance of the same event. A £2 per ticket fee will apply.

Please read our full terms and conditions before purchase.

Ticket reselling

At MIF, we believe that all customers should be given an equal opportunity to buy tickets at face value, and we aim to stop the practice of reselling. Any tickets bought to be resold, whether at face value or at higher prices, will be immediately cancelled. Anyone found purchasing tickets for the purposes of resale will be refused tickets and entry for all other MIF events. All our events will have security checks, and you may be asked to provide proof of purchase from an authorised ticket agent.
