FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CORONAVIRUS

We want you all to know that your health and safety is always our first priority. If your event is postponed, we will send you an email to inform you as well as information regarding our ticket credit system. All affected tickets will be credited to your Bongo's Bingo account, allowing you to reschedule your tickets for a time that best suits you. If you have not received an email about your event being postponed, your event is currently going ahead as planned. All of our decisions are made based off the most recent Government legislation and guidance in regards to COVID-19. If you or anyone in your home have any symptoms of COVID-19, however mild, please follow the advice given by the Government in regards to self-isolation.
If your event has been postponed, your account will be credited with the same value of your tickets (including booking fee). This credit will be valid to spend on any UK event within 24 months of our shows being active. Customers with ticket credits will be given advanced access to all future UK events within this timeframe. We will be sending out information about new dates as soon as we can!
Don’t worry - all accounts are currently being updated! If your credits have not appeared within your account within 30 days of the postponed show, please let us know and we’ll get to the bottom of it.
For any postponed events booked via the Bongo's Bingo website or app, credit for the same value of your booking will appear on your Bongo's Bingo account within 30 days of the postponement. No refunds are given for postponed shows. Affected ticket holders will be given advanced access to future events for any Bongo's Bingo at any UK location. Credit can be used to purchase tickets to any UK Bongo’s Bingo show on a date of your choosing with 24 months of indoor shows restarting. Credit is non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or drinks vouchers at your chosen show. We understand this may be frustrating for some of our customers, however in these extremely difficult times we have come up with this solution as a way of helping customers but also allowing us to continue as a business once this terrible situation has passed. This is by far the most scary situation we have ever faced, and we are depending on our customers to invest in our future so we can continue to entertain the nation for years to come.
Where possible, we are rebooking special guests from affected events so customers are able to reschedule and attend a like-for-like show. We will email information regarding our special guests as soon as we can.
In the event that a venue is reported as closed down, we’ll work closely with the venue on a potential reopening or with other venues in the location on a suitable alternative. Customers will be informed of any venue change prior to tickets becoming available for the town/city.
I'm afraid we aren't able to offer a refund or credit for customers who choose not to come or are unable to attend. Under the current advice from the government, unfortunately, we aren't able to offer a refund or credit in individual cases of illness/change in circumstances. This is normal practice for ticketed events and in line with our terms and conditions.
Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, and the need to provide social distancing between groups, tickets are sold on a group basis based on government guidelines. Once social distancing measures have eased, we will return to selling individual tickets.
If you have credit that you’d like to split with people you know then check to see they have a Bongo’s Bingo account. Then get in touch via the Contact form or email info@bongosbingo.co.uk informing us of the amount you’d like to split and the email addresses of the accounts to receive the split.
If you and people you know would like to merge your credit so that it's on one account, then please use the Contact form or email info@bongosbingo.co.uk with the email addresses of the accounts you’d like the credit to be merged & specify which account should be the one to have the credit associated with it.

TABLE RESERVATIONS

We no longer take table reservations from customers. We do make exceptions for customers with special requirements. If you do have access or physical requirements please contact us through our contact page - *Please Note: for any requests of this nature, please contact us at least 7 days prior to the event your attending*. Our tables there to be claimed on a first come first serve basis. If you are coming as part of a large group or you would like to sit at the front, we suggest getting to the venue before doors open.
You will not be allowed into the venue early but you may bring decorations as long as they do not obstruct anyone’s view.
Seating is provided in each of our venues and is given out on a first come, first served basis. Any large groups that arrive later are not guaranteed to sit together depending on available space. This also applies to any of our venues that have multiple tiers. Customers are generally seated on the ground floor first and then allocated seats on the upper levels. We recommend that you arrive as close to doors opening as possible if attending in a large group to give you the best chance of being seated together.

TICKETS

Tickets are released at least a month before the events take place. Join the mailing list via bongosbingo.co.uk/subscribe to find out about dates.
We don’t allow tickets to be pre-booked to give everyone a fair chance at buying tickets.
We can’t commit to individually informing people when tickets come on sale due to the vast amount of requests we get a day. Once tickets come on sale, we announce the new dates on Facebook. You can be alerted every time we post by hovering over the like button on our profile and selecting notifications.
We do not supply guestlist tickets to any customers who have been unable to get tickets through our own website.
No, refunds will only be issued if we cancel an event which you have bought a ticket for.
A typical Bongo’s Bingo show will last for 3 - 3.5 hours from the first game of bingo. This can vary slightly due to the number of false calls during the show.
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in our shows. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” during the show due to our lighting and production. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling or striking nearby objects.
At Bongo's Bingo we often throw items such as glow sticks, balloons and Coco Pops into the audience and therefore, we cannot guarantee that our show will be free from certain allergens, such as latex and gluten. If you are worried about coming into contact with an allergen at one of our shows, please get in touch with us at info@bongosbingo.co.uk at least 48hrs prior to your arrival and we can advise.

PRIZES

We can’t tell you or it would spoil the surprise.
If you would like to leave a prize at any of our venues you will need to pick this up within in 48 hours of the event taking place. It is your responsibility to arrange this with the venue and neither us or the venues will be liable for any loss or damage which may occur.
