These terms cover hosting and selling tickets to events on Coral Tickets. They sit on top of our Common Terms, and they spell out the things specific to being a host: how you get paid, what you're responsible for, and how refunds work.
The short version: you keep 100% of every ticket's face value, your buyers cover the booking charge, and you stay responsible for the event you run. The detail is below.
Last Updated Date: 20th June 2026
These Host Terms incorporate the wearecoral Common Terms, which include important provisions on liability, indemnity, intellectual property, and dispute resolution. By accepting these Host Terms you also accept the Common Terms. The Coral Tickets Refund Policy also forms part of these terms.
If these Host Terms conflict with the Common Terms, these Host Terms prevail for your hosting activities, to the extent of the inconsistency. For refunds and cancellations, the Refund Policy prevails.
On this page:
a. To host events you must register an organiser account and provide accurate information, including the payout account details we need to pay you. You are responsible for keeping that information current.
b. wearecoral may decline an organiser account, or decline to publish an event, at its discretion, and need not give reasons.
c. If you register on behalf of a business, you confirm you are authorised to bind it to these terms.
a. You are responsible for the events you create, including their description, pricing, capacity, dates, and conduct. Your event details must be accurate and not misleading.
b. Coral Tickets is built for music and community events, but you are not limited to live music. You may not, however, host or sell tickets to an event that:
I. is unlawful, or promotes unlawful activity;
II. is hateful, harassing, or incites violence;
III. is unsafe, or that you are not authorised or permitted to run; or
IV. wearecoral reasonably considers inconsistent with the purpose of the platform.
a. You set your ticket prices. The price you set is the face value, and you receive 100% of the face value of every ticket sold, less any refunds.
b. Buyers pay a booking charge on top of the face value. wearecoral funds the payment-processing cost out of that booking charge, so it is not deducted from your payout.
c. We pay you the amounts owed to you for an event after the event, by electronic bank transfer to the account you nominate. PayPal Payouts may be offered as an alternative where available.
d. We aim to release payouts within a few business days of the event, subject to completing our checks. You are responsible for the accuracy of your nominated account details.
e. If amounts are later reversed (for example, a refund or chargeback after you have been paid), you agree we may recover or offset the overpaid amount from you or from your future payouts.
a. The Coral Tickets Refund Policy applies to your events and forms part of these terms.
b. You are responsible for your events and for honouring refunds required by the Refund Policy or by law. Where wearecoral issues a refund to a buyer on your behalf, that does not transfer your responsibility to us.
c. A refund reduces your payout for the event by the face value of the refunded tickets. wearecoral bears the booking charge on a refunded order.
d. If you cancel or materially change an event, buyers are entitled to a refund of the face value, and you remain responsible for that refund.
a. Buyers of tickets to your events are subject to the Coral Tickets Buyer Terms.
b. You agree to honour every ticket validly issued and confirmed through Coral Tickets. It is your responsibility to check a ticket's validity at the door and to apply any age or entry conditions for your event.
c. You may set additional event-specific conditions, provided they are lawful and consistent with these terms. Those conditions cannot create obligations for wearecoral.
a. Where Coral Tickets lets you contact your attendees, you may use it only for messages about the event they bought a ticket to, or for communications they have agreed to receive.
b. You must not use it to send unsolicited marketing or any unlawful or misleading message, and you must comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
a. When you host an event, you receive personal information about your attendees (for example, names, and contact details where an attendee has agreed to receive your communications). You are responsible for handling it lawfully.
b. You must use attendee information only to run the event the attendee bought a ticket to, and any communications they have agreed to. You must not sell it or disclose it to others, must keep it secure, and must delete it when it is no longer needed.
c. You must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) in handling attendee information and communications.
You are responsible for obtaining and holding all licences, permits, and approvals your event requires (for example, venue, liquor, safety, or council approvals), and for complying with all laws that apply to running it. wearecoral provides the ticketing platform only and does not run your event.
You warrant that:
a. the information you provide about yourself and your events is true and not misleading;
b. you hold the rights, licences, and permits needed to run your events and sell tickets to them;
c. you will deal with attendees fairly and in good faith, and honour the tickets you sell; and
d. you will comply with these terms, the Common Terms, the Refund Policy, and all Applicable Laws.
a. wearecoral may suspend or remove an event, or suspend or close an organiser account, where it reasonably believes these terms or Applicable Laws have been breached, or to protect attendees or the platform.
b. Suspension or removal does not relieve you of your obligations to attendees, including any refunds owed.
Your hosting is also governed by the Common Terms. In particular, please read the provisions there on limitation of liability, indemnity, intellectual property, and dispute resolution, as they apply to you and may limit wearecoral's liability to you.
