Get Set Ticketshare applications

By accepting the London 2012 Ticketshare terms and conditions, You are applying for Ticketshare Tickets, and You confirm and warrant that parents/guardians of all children have consented and/or will consent to You applying for and/or using the Tickets and that they have read, understood and accepted these rules and the Terms and Conditions, including the provisions relating to responsibility for children, young adults and vulnerable persons.

7. By applying for Ticketshare Tickets, You commit to distributing Tickets to students and accompanying adults in a reasonable, fair and transparent way, in accordance with the Ticketshare guidelines provided by Us. The London 2012 Ticketshare scheme is intended to ensure that children and young people aged 10-18 from Your school receive Ticketshare Tickets. We shall permit a reasonable number of accompanying adults to attend. However, by applying for Ticketshare Tickets You commit to ensure that, as a priority, as many children and young people aged 10-18 from Your school receive Ticketshare Tickets. We reserve the right to verify the eligibility of all applications and request information on who the Tickets shall be distributed to, including names of the children. You further acknowledge that We are the sole supplier of all Tickets for the Games and have the right to determine, at Our sole discretion, the number of Tickets and the classification of Tickets for all Sessions. If We, in our sole discretion, consider that Ticketshare Tickets are not being received by children or young people aged 10-18 from Your school, We reserve the right to refuse entry.
8. The closing date for London 2012 Ticketshare applications is Friday 16 December 2011. Applications received after that closing date will not be considered.

10. We take no responsibility for any applications that are lost, delayed, misdirected or incomplete or cannot be delivered or entered for any technical or other reason. Proof of delivery of the application to the Get Set network is not proof of receipt.
