Terms and Conditions
Your commitment to us
When you ask for your attraction tickets to be confirmed, you are accepting that these terms and conditions form the basis of any contract between Attraction Tickets Direct and yourself, which is subject to Irish and EU law.
Prices
Prices are inclusive of service charges and taxes and there are no surcharges whatsoever. Once you have paid in full, we will not increase the
price of your tickets.
Prices are subject to change without notice.We do not envisage any price
changes, however, Attraction Tickets Direct reserves the right to increase
prices caused by currency fluctuations or by price increases imposed by
our suppliers. This will never affect bookings paid in full but could affect deposit bookings.
Deposit/payment
For all ONLINE BOOKINGS and customers travelling within 6 weeks, FULL PAYMENT will be taken on pressing the authorise button and tickets will then be dispatched within 7 days.
For customers travelling outside of 6 weeks, an optional deposit of 20% can be placed for PHONE BOOKINGS ONLY, with the balance paid 6 weeks prior to your departure date. If you are booking within 6 weeks of departure, full payment is due at time of booking.
With the main exception of Disney who now have date stamped tickets, most tickets are non date specific so customers can buy now at our current rates and travel anytime.
Alteration or cancellation of the booking by you once a confirmation of booking has been issued will be subject to the charges outlined in the ‘if you cancel your booking’ section below. Once we receive full payment, you will receive your tickets within 7 days guaranteed.
For deposit bookings made before 31 Dec 09, we guarantee that prices will not go up. If prices are cheaper when you come to pay the balance, the cheaper prices cannot be honoured.
We reserve the right to increase the prices of deposit bookings caused by severe currency fluctuations or unforseen prices increases imposed by our suppliers. Should price increases be necessary, we will notify you in writing and you shall have the right to cancel your booking without any charges.
Customers outside of Ireland
Attraction Tickets Direct can send tickets to European countries outside of Ireland although delivery may take up to 14 days.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Our price guarantee
We believe that our ticket prices offer the best overall value available in Ireland. Consequently, if you book with Attraction Tickets Direct and subsequently find the same ticket cheaper elsewhere in Ireland (within 7 days of booking), we will refund the difference. The price must be published in a brochure and priced in € euros. When price matching, Attraction Tickets Direct reserves the right to withdraw any added value that may have been originally offered with the tickets.

Confirmation and issue of tickets
Upon receipt of deposit or full payment, Attraction Tickets Direct will issue a confirmation of booking and an invoice. Please note; we reserve the right to cancel a booking within 24 hours of your time of purchase and refund you in full. The majority of tickets will be dispatched within 72 hours of your booking for delivery within 7 days. If we are temporarily out of stock, we reserve the right to dispatch tickets within 14 days of your booking. Tickets are dispatched, guaranteed next working day delivery to anywhere in the Republic of Ireland via Express Post. Tickets are fully insured for delivery up to the value of €350. For additional ticket insurance to cover against loss, damage and theft, please contact our team on 1800 927 467.
Your Tickets
The vast majority of tickets that we send are actual tickets with a high monetary value. They are our responsibility until they have been received by you. We send all tickets by Express Post.
After your tickets have been successfully delivered, they are your responsibility. As per our instructions on the confirmation invoice, we recommend that you photocopy the backs of the tickets as this will help the parks replace them should they be lost, damaged or stolen prior to your departure or while on holiday. However, we do not guarantee that the theme parks will be able to do so. This decision will be at their discretion and their decision will be final.
You should treat the attraction tickets as you would do your cash or passports and keep them safe at all time.
If you purchase our loss, damage or theft travel insurance, the terms and conditions of that policy apply and these are:
We will replace lost, damaged or stolen tickets
- Within 3 days if this occurs in the Ireland
- Within 24 – 72 hours, organise replacement of tickets to be picked up at guest services at the relevant attraction in the USA, if this occurs while on holiday.
We will also provide you with an insurance document with an emergency helpline number.
If you cancel your booking
If you decide to cancel you should notify Attraction Tickets Direct immediately. If you have only paid your deposit, the deposit will be forfeited. If you have paid in full, the following cancellation charges will be payable by you and any refund to you will only be paid once the tickets / vouchers have been returned to Attraction Tickets Direct (if you already have them) and have not been defaced or damaged in any way.
| Prior to 42 days |
28 to 41 days |
14 to 27 days |
13 days of fewer |
| Deposit only or 20% |
30% |
40% |
50% |
Note: Tickets returned after date of departure = 100% cancellation charges. 100% cancellation charges also apply to New York Broadway Show tickets cancelled within 2 Weeks of performance.
If you change your booking
If you need to make a change to your booking once you have received your tickets (for example upgrading the number of days on your Disney tickets from 7 to 14), then this will be subject to an administrative charge of €10 per ticket, PLUS the difference between the selling price of the two tickets in question.
Please contact us by phone to arrange this.
Please note that if you are canceling tickets outright, then the cancellation charges outlined above in the section 'If you cancel your booking' will apply.
If we change your booking
We will endeavour never to change a confirmed booking. However, if it is
necessary, you will be advised without delay and alternative comparable
arrangements will be offered. You may choose to cancel in writing within
14 days of the notification and receive a full refund of all you have paid
to date.
Circumstances outside of our control
Attraction Tickets Direct does not have to pay compensation or accept liability
if our performance is affected by an event beyond our control. We include
the following as events beyond our control – war or threat of war,
riots, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters,
fire, bad weather conditions, technical problems to transport, temporary
or permanent closure of attractions or any other force majeur.

In the rare occurrence that a user finds a cached (old) page via a search engine and purchases a ticket that no longer exists, we reserve the right to cancel this contract and make a full refund or upgrade to a current ticket. We cannot control cached pages indexed by search engines such as Google or the settings on the computer of our customers.
