Tickets may be transferred up to 48 hours after your scheduled event. Please email us at info@paintandcocktails.com including the date and location of the missed event.
CAN I GET A REFUND?
There are no refunds for unused tickets unless the event is cancelled by Paint and Cocktails. You can transfer your ticket to another event. Please email us at info@paintandcocktails.com to arrange.
MY EVENT WAS CANCELLED - NOW WHAT?
We reserve the right to cancel events. Sometimes we cancel because not enough tickets were sold, the weather is bad or the venue has had to cancel. If this happens, we will send you an email and offer to reschedule your ticket or a refund – your choice.
I HAVE PURCHASED A GROUPON/WAGJAG VOUCHER TO AN EVENT - HOW DO I USE IT?
Your voucher or coupon can be redeemed for a ticket to an event with Paint and Cocktails. Please email us at info@paintandcocktails.com to apply your coupon toward an event. You can not just show up at an event – you must be booked into our attendance system by emailing us and following the instructions which will be provided. Please note that coupons are not valid for some events.
CAN I GET A REFUND ON MY GROUPON/WAGJAG VOUCHER?
If you purchased a voucher from a 3rd party discount site and would like a refund, please contact the coupon site directly as they are responsible for arranging a refund with you.
DOES THE EVENT PRICE INCLUDE FOOD & DRINKS?
Food and drinks are NOT included in the price of your ticket but are available at most venues for purchase. Some events allow the purchase of a pre-fixe meal menu together with the painting event, as offered by the specific venue for a specific event. By purchasing food & drink, you are supporting your local restaurant and encouraging more events to be made available to you.
IS YOUR PAINT SAFE? DOES IT STAIN?
In short, yes. We use a non-toxic, water based acrylic paint. It cleans off skin and surfaces with water. However, it is paint, and it can damage your clothing. While we do provide you with aprons, please don’t wear your best clothes. We warn you about this in our terms of agreement and we are not responsible for your clothes if they get damaged during a painting event.
THE EVENT SAYS IT IS "SOLD OUT" - CAN YOU SQUEEZE IN AN EXTRA PERSON?
Please email us at info@paintandcocktails.com with the date and location of the event you are referring to. We may be able to accommodate your request and open up an extra seat depending on the venue. If we can add a ticket we advise you go online and purchase that ticket immediately before someone else grabs it!
CAN I PAY CASH AT THE DOOR?
Sorry, but we can only sell tickets through our site www.paintandcocktails.com which accepts credit cards and Paypal. You can purchase a ticket using your phone at the door, providing the event is not sold out.
WHEN WILL A PAINTING I LIKE BE OFFERED AGAIN?
We repeat paintings on different days at different locations to give you a chance to recreate your favourite ones. If you are unable to find a date and location that works for you, consider hosting a private house party where you get to pick the painting! Email us at info@paintandcocktails.com to find out more.
