    What's the refund policy?

    Huh? This is a free event. (But if you do need to cancel it is appreciated if you could pop me an email at benji@thegrandhack.info)

     

    Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

    We require some verification of registration. Whether this may be the ticket on a phone or tablet or printed. Something we can scan. 

     

    Can I update my registration information?

    This is supported natively by Eventbrite. If you have any issues, please get in touch at benji@thegrandhack.info

     

    Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

    Tickets are non-transferable and so you must be the named person. This is due to safeguarding concerns.
