FAQ

Can I buy tickets on the telephone?
Yes. Our main ticket partner is Ticketweb. They have a ticket hotline number which is 08444 771 000.

I want to go to a show but it's sold out, will there be tickets on the door / can I go on the guestlist?
Nope. We sell tickets until we reach our legal capacity - and once we reach that number, we do not have any more to sell. We don’t hold back tickets for the door! It’s not that we don’t like you or don’t want you to come, but there simply isn’t enough room, sorry.

Do you offer refunds if we can no longer attend?
Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds for our tickets, however we have partnered with TicketSwap as our official ticket reseller. Selling tickets anywhere other than Ticketswap is strongly discouraged. If you are experiencing issues selling your tickets, please reach out to the TicketSwap support team.

Do you have a waiting/returns list for sold out shows?
Nope. Your best bet will be to check on Ticketswap (who are an ethical Fan to Fan Ticket Re-sale site). Please be vigilant if you see someone offering tickets for sale on social media, sadly there are a lot of scammers out there.

Lost Ticket
If you have lost or not received your e-ticket but you know you definitely did buy one then please don’t panic. We can check your name from a form of ID against our list on the night. If you still need some reassurance, then email us here. Everything is going to be ok.

For other requests please email Ticketweb (our ticket vendor on the website).

Please read all our info on accessibility here.

Can I do work experience with you?
Yes – please get in touch by email.

Can I take photos of bands at The Horn?
Ticket-holders are welcome to bring their own cameras to take photos of local shows. To take photos of touring bands you will need to contact their PR and request press list – this isn't something we can help with.

The venue room has a capacity of 200 (standing)

I left something, can I come and collect it?
Of course – please call or email first.

I am a promoter and I want to put on a night, how do I go about this?
Please send us an email with what you would like to do at the venue. We would be keen to know what you have done previously and see some links to those nights. Please understand that we would love to work with everyone, but we need to make sure that it’s going to be a good show.

What equipment can The Horn provide?
We will provide bands with the PA, mics and stands that would be required. We have a number of DIs but sometimes its not enough. If you believe you are going to require more, please notify us beforehand. Here’s a link to our current tech sheet - click here

Marshall Amplification have supplied us with:

2 x Marshall MG50FX guitar combo

1 x Natal Arcadia drum kit

All are free for bands to use, bands wishing to borrow the drums may be liable to pay a refundable deposit.

All bands will need to ensure they bring their own backline, unless they have agreed anything in advance. If you have a show coming up, we will arrange for an advancing chat to be created using Facebook messages so that this can be discussed with other acts booked on the night.

Where can I park to load into the venue?
There is a load-in driveway next to the venue that’s reserved for bands (Alma Road end), and you can load straight in onto the stage.

Do you have a backstage area?
Yes, we do. We have a room behind the stage. However, you can’t see the other bands from there. We would suggest standing out front.
