BOOKING FEES<br />
We’ve worked hard to keep booking fees as low as possible for our box<br />
office, working with our ticketing partner Curve. Each transaction will be<br />
charged a 15% booking fee, up to a maximum of £3 per transaction.<br />
We believe these charges are lower than most ticket offices around.<br />
There is no transaction fee if you prefer to print your tickets at home.<br />
If you have any feedback on our centralised ticket office, do let us<br />
know info@comedy-festival.co.uk.<br />
These are the booking fees and arrangements for our main festival box<br />
office, managed by our official ticket partner Curve. If you buy tickets<br />
from elsewhere, the booking fees and arrangements may be different<br />
so please check with who you are buying tickets from.<br />
Dave’s Leicester Comedy Festival is produced by Big Difference<br />
Company, a registered charity (1135167).<br />
If you want to contact the show promoter, contact details are shown<br />
on page 150-153.<br />
COMMENTS<br />
We work with over 250 promoters who take the responsibility for<br />
organising the individual events. We co-ordinate the programme and<br />
provide overall marketing and publicity. This means that we do pass<br />
on your praise, comments and criticism to the relevant promoter or<br />
organiser of the event. We are keen to know what you think of events,<br />
venues, marketing, workshops and everything that takes place as part<br />
of the festival. Our contact details can be found on page 154 so please<br />
do get in touch!<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
We’ve included basic maps (page 150-153) which show the location of<br />
Festival venues. We have tried to include postcodes for as many venues<br />
as possible so you can search online or type it into your Sat Nav.<br />
PRICES & TIMES<br />
Prices for events are contained in this brochure; full price tickets are<br />
shown and relevant concession/discounted prices are shown in brackets.<br />
Those who are entitled to discounts do vary according to the event, so<br />
check with the box office when booking. Start times are shown and<br />
indicates the time the performance will start; the venue may open before<br />
this and you are advised to check when booking tickets. We have also<br />
tried to suggest finish times (so you can enjoy more than one event<br />
in a day). It is difficult to guarantee finish times as comedy shows do<br />
sometimes overrun and delays can happen but we hope the estimates<br />
are useful.<br />

GET THERE EARLY!<br />
Some of the venues have fixed seating and you’ll get issued with an<br />
exact seat when you buy your ticket (reserved). Other venues allocate<br />
seats on a first come, first served basis so there are occasionally<br />
queues of people waiting to get in to make sure they get the “best”<br />
seats (unreserved). We’ve indicated which option is relevant next to<br />
each event. If the seating is unreserved, and you turn up late, you<br />
might be sat/stood at the back of the room.<br />
ACCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES<br />
All the promoters and venues that put on events try and ensure that<br />
everyone is able to attend Festival events and have a comfortable<br />
time when they get there. We have produced a guide to visiting our<br />
venues for people with disabilities and this can be downloaded from<br />
our website or by contacting our office. If you want to discuss visiting<br />
a venue further, contact the relevant promoter (details are shown on<br />
page 150-153).<br />
ACCOMMODATION<br />
If you’re coming from out of town, there are several hotels in Leicester<br />
where you can stay and catch some laughs late into the night. Our<br />
official hotel is The Belmont Hotel and our website has information<br />
about deals and how to book.<br />
