Terms & Conditions

Bill Richardson Transport World enjoys sharing its experiences with visitors daily. Thank you in advance for understanding and complying with these terms and conditions.

These terms and conditions are subject to change at any time, with or without notification by Transport World. You must agree to these terms and conditions to purchase tickets to any affiliate event or for admission.

Terms and conditions for the purchase of tickets will be available at the time of purchase through Transport World or a designated sales agent(s). If, in the event, the designated sales agent(s) terms and conditions conflict or contradict these terms and conditions or make no specification on a matter, these terms and conditions will be considered superior and will apply.

FEES PAYABLE

All credit card or contactless payments will incur a surcharge of 1.95% per transaction on-site. This fee is calculated before payment is submitted and is included in the total transaction amount. There is no surcharge for EFTPOS or debit cards that are inserted or swiped on-site. 

If payment is made using a credit card or debit card issued outside of New Zealand, any currency conversion will be carried out according to the terms and conditions of the card and there may be additional fees charged by your card issuer.

TICKETING

By purchasing tickets for a Transport World event, you agree to abide by these terms and conditions, including conditions of entry. By purchasing admission tickets to a Transport World attraction, you also agree to abide by these terms and conditions, including conditions of entry.

These terms and conditions apply to all areas of the collection and/or event, including the venue, car park and café. Violating these conditions of entry may result in denial of access, immediate ejection, or referral to the New Zealand police if deemed appropriate. No refund will be provided if you are denied entry or ejected because you have not adhered to these terms and conditions.

All attendees on-site must have a valid form of admittance, which must constitute one of the following forms (but not limited to):
Valid attendee accreditation once on-site
Valid authorised event accreditation

Physical, electronic, and other forms of accreditation are designed to allow exclusive access to the Transport World event and admission ticket they have been acquired for. Any attempts by attendees to manipulate (including entering the collection or an event without proper accreditation) will be construed as an attempt to contravene these conditions of entry and may result in denial of entry or immediate ejection.

Those believed to be attempting to contravene these regulations or assist others in breaking these conditions of entry (including the admittance of those without valid tickets or wristbands) will be denied access and referred to the New Zealand Police if required.

There are no refunds, credits, or exchanges on event tickets or admission tickets.

CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENTS

Tickets cannot be refunded, exchanged, or cancelled once issued except in accordance with the applicable laws of New Zealand.

In the instance an event is altered, delayed or cancelled due to reasons beyond Transport World’s control, Transport World will be excused from liability under the Consumer Guarantees Act.

PROPERTY AND VENUE

Attempts to damage other attendees' property or Transport World's property will result in denial of entry, immediate ejection, or referral to New Zealand police if deemed appropriate. Additionally, attempts will be made to recover costs if appropriate.

Transport World is a cooler venue; please ensure you bring warm clothing. Entry is at the attendee's own risk, and attendees assume that there may be risks inherent in admission to the venue. Transport World will not be held responsible in the event of any injury, loss, or damage sustained entering the venue, including damage to private vehicles in any adjacent car-parking facilities.
