Admission is managed by your e-ticket (either a printout or on your mobile phone) matched against your ID. We then give you a wristband to wear which is vital for entering the event. If you are unable to print your tickets before the event and you can’t find your e-ticket on your phone, please bring your order number and photo ID to the on-site box office located at the entrance.
If we are not able to open due to Government restrictions due to COVID-19 all customers who have purchased advance tickets will be contacted and offered refunds or exchanges.
Customers who purchased tickets for the show (should it be cancelled) will be fully refunded or they can hold their tickets for the rescheduled date. In light of these extraordinary times, tickets will be valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
Credit can be redeemed as full or part payment of tickets/ passses, subject to availability, and can be redeemed in person and by telephone but not online. We cannot however refund tickets/passes or booking fees for purchases if DesignerCon London does take place but you were not able to attend for any other reason.
Each ticket is for one person, but you can re-enter the show anytime (with ID against information on our scanners) so one ticket cannot be shared between friends or the sad person with no spare cash. The wristbands we put on you have to be worn and left on if you want to return the next day. Please don’t remove your wristband and give it to someone else. Demand for tickets will be high. DesignerCon LA attracts over 40,000 visitors so we are expecting a sell out for the much anticipated London event. If someone offers to sell you tickets online, say no. Buy fresh ones from our official box office.
If one person buys a bunch of tickets, they will all be issued in the buyer’s name. That’s no problem as long as each ticket is used once by one person.
We check names against barcodes on each wristband / laminate.
You can purchase the tickets directly from us through our ticketing platform here.
Alternatively our tickets are sold separately through SEE Tickets and various ticketing agents.
This is for your security and so we can get advance ticket buyers seamless access to ExCeL London. If you need a refund because you made a mistake in ordering please contact the point of purchase.
Tickets are available at the door and they will cost a bit more than buying them beforehand.
General Admission Tickets at the door will cost £25.00/person instead of £20.00.
We are expecting the show to be busy as it will be one of the first consumer shows staged in London after the nationwide lockdown.
Therefore we would advise pre-booking to avoid disappointment as tickets will be limited.
Will arrive by email. If you don’t get your ticket
- Check your spam Check you are looking at the right email account
- Contact us with your order details and we will check our accounts
You can show your ticket as a printout or on your smartphone. Once the barcode has been scanned, you will get your wristband or VIP laminate which means the ticket is then used and invalidated. If you’ve bought multiple tickets, you can share them out to your group, but each one can only be used once.
