This, or other errors made by you when entering your data, are your responsibility and the Royal Institution will not be held responsible for any inconvenience caused by the supply of incorrect personal information, nor will we offer refunds on any accidental purchases made. It is your responsibility to check that the tickets issued to you are accurate.
Printing tickets
This website allows you to print your own tickets for attendance at Royal Institution events. They may only be used once. If you do not have access to a printer before the event, please contact the Programmes Team at the Royal Institution who may be able to print off your tickets and send them by second class post to you. In such cases the Royal Institution will not be held responsible for documents mislaid or lost by the Royal Mail.
Payment/invoices
Our online payments are processed by RBS WorldPay. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Visa Delta and Maestro. We cannot accept Solo, Visa Electron, American Express or Diners cards.
If you request to make a payment by invoice, your tickets will be held for 30 days, or until 7 days before the event whichever is soonest. If we do not receive payment during this time, the booking system will automatically release your tickets for general sale and you will need to rebook your tickets to secure your place.
Bookings on behalf of a party of people
If you are booking on behalf of a party, you accept these terms and conditions on behalf of all members of your party and are responsible for all payments due from the party.
attending events organised by the Royal Institution
Event changes
The Royal Institution reserves the right to make any alterations to speakers, event content, event timing and/or event venue, and will make reasonable efforts to contact audience members to inform them of any changes. The Royal Institution will not be held liable for any changes made to the advertised event.
Right to refuse and search
The Royal Institution reserves the right to refuse you admission if, in its reasonable opinion, your admission to the venue might:
- be a risk to the safety of the audience and/or yourself, and/or
- affect the enjoyment of members of the audience, and/or
- affect the running of the event.
For example, if you act aggressively and/or appear to be under the influence of drink and/or drugs, you will be refused admission. We may also request you to leave (taking any such appropriate action that may be necessary to enforce this right) before or during events for any of the reasons given above. Should you be refused admission or requested to leave you will not be entitled to a refund. The Royal Institution may also, on certain occasions, have to conduct security searches to ensure your safety.
Latecomers
The Royal Institution will, in most cases, be able to seat you if you arrive late to an event. However, we reserve the right to refuse you admission if you do not arrive by the start of the event. We also reserve the right to re-sell your ticket if you have not arrived by the start of the event. In the event of this occurring, we will endeavour to find you a seat or standing room, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Schools programme
Our programme of events for schools is aimed at school groups, and as such is optimised for these groups in terms of content and style. Home educators are welcome to bring their school age children to these events. However, pre-school children aged 4 and under cannot be admitted and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times whilst in the building.
Filming
Ticket holders consent to filming and sound recording as members of the audience. School parties should ensure that appropriate parental permission is obtained before attendance at any Royal Institution event.
The unauthorised use of photographic, sound or film equipment in the venue is strictly prohibited. If you do wish to use this equipment, please contact the Events Team prior to the start of the event. The copyright is assigned to the Ri for any recordings of events produced by the Ri. Unauthorised recording may result in tape or film being destroyed, and your removal from the event without a ticket refund.
Electronic equipment
All electronic equipment, especially mobile phones, must be set to silent before entering the auditorium and/or any other spaces where events are taking place.
Smoking
The Royal Institution operates a non-smoking policy throughout its entire building.
Events that supersede these Terms and Conditions
Some special events, for example the Christmas Lectures, have Terms and Conditions for booking and attendance that supersede the ones given here. In those cases we will inform you of the new Terms and Conditions on booking.
