Early bird booking rates are only available where and on the terms specified within the individual event booking information. Not all events will include an early bird booking rate.

9. Legal ownership in the lot will not pass to the winning bidder until full payment has been completed.

12. It is the responsibility of all bidders to ensure that, should they be the winning bidder, they comply with all applicable laws in carrying out, and have the necessary permissions or authorisations to carry out the activity specified in the bid, including (by way of example, not limitation) appropriate identification, travel visas and so on.

The bidder acknowledges that any statements (oral or written) made by Lord’s Taverners about any of the lots are opinions only and the bidder shall not rely on any such statements. 

15. Lord’s Taverners may change or withdraw any or all lots up until the time such lot is deemed to be sold.
