Restrict ticket sales to a maximum number per person and/or household and cancel any tickets purchased in excess of this. Refuse admission to, or remove you from the venue in reasonable circumstances – such as the refusal of security checks or if venue staff consider that your behaviour may adversely affect other people’s enjoyment of the event and without a refund.

Your statutory rights are not affected.
