Event and Hospitality Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions (T&Cs) apply to the purchase of a seasonal corporate hospitality package (Season Package), tickets to a single event (Casual Pass) and attendance at an event hosted by the Adelaide Football Club Ltd ACN 008 101 568 (Club). By purchasing any Season Package or Casual Pass, or registering for and/or attending an event hosted by the Club or sold by the Club on behalf of a third party, you are deemed to accept these T&Cs. If you do not accept or comply with these T&Cs, your attendance at the event(s) may be prohibited. If you are booking on behalf of other attendees (including guests) you should direct them to these T&Cs.

1. Prices and payment

   1. Each Booking Form that you submit will constitute a separate agreement between you and the Club on the terms set out in these T&Cs (Booking). To the extent of any inconsistency between these T&Cs and the contents of any Booking Form, these T&Cs will prevail.
   2. You must pay the Club the amount specified as the 'Total Cost' for each Season Package and/or Casual Pass (as the case may be) in the relevant Booking Form. All prices are inclusive of GST.
   3. Payment can be made by credit or debit card by Visa, Mastercard or American Express (subject to a 3% surcharge for American Express only). Payment is required in full at the time of booking, except for Season Packages which may be paid by four instalments on the dates provided in a Booking Form, by way of direct debit from the card nominated by you. Each instalment will incur a 2% administration fee. If payment of an instalment is declined for any reason, you must contact the Club immediately and arrange for payment of the relevant instalment within 5 days of the date that payment was due. If payment is not received during this time, the Club reserves the right in its absolute discretion to suspend any Season Package until payment has been received in full, and you acknowledge and agree that tickets to any events scheduled during the period of suspension will be forfeited.
   4. No Season Package or Casual Pass (as the case may be) is confirmed until full payment has been received by the Club.

   The Club reserves the right to alter the event program for any Season Package or Casual Pass as advertised at any time without prior notice, including the date, venue, seating arrangements, audience capacity, entertainment and/or activities.
