We will pay you or your Personal Representatives up to £1,000 but no more than the face value of your event ticket that

• You are called for jury service in the UK or as a witness in a court in the UK;
• You are needed by the police following a burglary, or damage caused by serious fire, storm, flood, explosion,
subsidence, vandalism, fallen trees, impact by aircraft or vehicle at your home;
• The public transport (including scheduled flights) that you are using to get you to the event venue does not run to
its timetable; or
• The vehicle you are travelling in has an accident or breaks down or is delayed in a traffic jam for more than 3 hours,
when there is no alternative route available.
