SPECTATOR TICKETS We cannot stress enough the importance of pre-ordering tickets via the event website www.calvertgymevents.com. Purchasing tickets in advance is essential as space is limited and we often sell-out. Entry to the Competition cannot be guaranteed by turning up on the day. Every gymnast entered has ONE non-refundable spectator ticket included in their entry fee. This ticket will be valid for their round of competition and can be collected from the pre-order collection point under the gymnast s name. Additional tickets will be made available for sale following the publication of each programme and will be sold by round (not day). The order process will ask if the purchaser would like to add additional tickets to the one already held under their competing gymnast s name or, if they are ordering separately. Spectator charges are as follows: Adults Junior & Seniors 1 round 5 1 round 3 In most cases, the arena will be cleared following each round of competition. A Junior is considered a Child who is 4-16 years old. Under 4 s will be admitted free of charge Gymnast Passes are only valid for their round of competition. Competing gymnasts will need to purchase a spectator ticket for the other round(s) that they wish to watch. Tickets are non-refundable but maybe exchanged for a different round. Please note it is not possible to order tickets via post or telephone. COMPETITION DAYS The draw will be included with your Competition Programme, which will be sent to you in advance. Where possible, gymnasts from the same club will be grouped together. Please do not contact us for precise timings prior to the entry closing date as these cannot be calculated until we know the number of gymnasts competing.
