Important Information & Consumer Protection
MainEventTravel.com normally acts as a booking agent only in respect of all bookings we make on your behalf. We undertake no responsibility for and are not liable for the misrepresentations, breaches of contract, breaches of statutory duty or negligence of any of the accommodation providers and other suppliers of services who sell their products and services through us. This means that in the event of you suffering personal injury, illness or death as a result of any act or omission of an accommodation provider or other supplier of services (or their employees or agents) or you having any complaint about the quality of the services provided or having any other complaint at all, your sole right of redress will be against the independent third party who provided such service and MainEventTravel.com will be under no liability at all.

By proceeding to book accommodation only services through the Site, you accept that you will be entering into a contract with the accommodation provider on their standard terms and conditions. If they are provided, we will endeavour (but undertake no liability to do so) to make copies of the accommodation provider's terms and conditions available to you.

Customers booking more than one product that contains accommodation and an additional component are offered financial protection under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (PTR). Where a booking is offered as a single price with multiple components this forms a 'package holiday' and where components are priced separately this forms a 'linked travel arrangement. Both of these offer financial protection** under PTR regulations and a Package Holiday offers additional legal* protection and bookings that contain a flight component offer ATOL protection ATOL protects you when you book a holiday with a UK travel company. It ensures that you don't lose the money you paid out or become stranded abroad in the event of financial failure of your travel company. If an ATOL protected travel company that you have bookd with ceases trading, the scheme protects customers who have booked holidays with the firm. In addition to ATOL protection, MET also provide cover that protects against Supplier Failure, with a small charge that is added to all bookings involving a flight component, full details of which are shown at the time of booking. This is to cover you in the event that an airline suffers an insolvency event prior to your departure***.

*Legal protection means your travel company is responsible for making sure that you get the holiday you paid for. If something isn’t provided or isn’t as expected, and your travel company or its suppliers is at fault, they will need to sort this out for you – either resolving the issue, offering an alternative or providing a full or partial refund. In some instances, you may be able to claim compensation.

**Financial protection means that if the travel company you have booked with goes out of business, you will receive a refund if you are yet to travel or be brought home if you are already on holiday and your package includes return transport.

***Supplier Failure Cover is underwritten by MET and customer funds are held in a seperate fund to cover the costs of airline failure, in order to quickly re-book your travel plans in the event of an airline insolvency event

Please forward notification of any illness at the earliest possible opportunity to both MainEventTravel.com, and the host Casino.

Please check with the Casino to ensure that you are aware of any conditions, or local rules, before arriving at the Casino. We strongly recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the tournament.

Flight FAQs

 

Where are my flight tickets?

 

Once your booking has been received, we will then ticket your flight and send you the final confirmation within 48 hours

 

Is further information required from me?

 

Once your flight has been ticketed, and confirmation has been sent to you, the airline requires you enter further information about yourself (APSIS information) on their website. To complete this, you will need the booking reference (PNR) from your final confirmation.

 

Can I cancel my flight?

 

Flights can normally be cancelled within 24 hours of booking, although there may be an Admin fee charged by the airline. After this time, it depends on the airline policy and the flight type that is booked.

 

I have made an error in my booking, what can I do?

 

Please let us know as early as possible (within 24 hours of booking) as we can normally fix any errors BEFORE ticketing and final confirmation. Once again, this can depend on airline policy.
