JobaKnock Terms & Conditions

These terms apply to the sale of JobaKnock tickets only.

By buying a JobaKnock ticket you agree to be bound by these terms.

The JobaKnock ticket allows visitors to join the queue for the Underground Tours at an allotted period of time. The Underground Tours themselves are free for all visitors and the purchase of JobaKnock tickets is not compulsory.

How to Purchase Tickets

Tickets are purchased online

Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets in advance by contacting Big Pit on 029 2057 3650.

Only tickets purchased directly from us are valid. Tickets purchased from unauthorised third parties, including online auction sites, are not valid.

On arrival please take your booking confirmation to the Big Pit Reception Area.

We take no responsibility should you fail to bring your confirmation or not receive the confirmation due to the failing of your internet provider, e-mail delivery service or any other third party delivery service.

Ticket Arrival Time

Your ticket will give you a ticket arrival time to the JobaKnock waiting area. Please arrive at Big Pit at least 15 minutes prior to the time stated on your ticket. This will allow time for your party to be checked in at the shop and to make your way up to the entrance of the Underground Tour.

Late arrivals cannot be accommodated. If you arrive after the end of your ticket arrival time you will not be given a refund.

Big Pit will only refund tickets in the event of a delay that results in temporary closure of the underground for technical reasons.

If a ticket arrival time is missed it may be possible to allocate a later time slot on the same day, but this is subject to availability. On busy days this may not be possible. Visitors will be advised at the Big Pit Reception Area.

Tickets are not for resale and are non-transferable.

We reserve the right to amend a ticket arrival time once it has been issued to you, but we will endeavour to notify you as soon as we become aware that this is necessary.

All JobaKnock tickets cost £5 per person.

Concessions are not available.

Any person under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

We reserve the right to amend a booking once it has been confirmed but we will endeavour to notify you as soon as we become aware that this is necessary.

Tickets – General Terms

One JobaKnock Ticket entitles one person entry to the Big Pit Underground Tour on a single occasion. Once you have exited the Underground Tour, you will need to purchase a new JobaKnock Ticket to re-enter the Underground Tour through the JobaKnock queue.

Tickets remain our property at all times. We reserve the right to require the immediate return of the tickets at any time and to refuse entry to, or eject from the Underground Tour, any person who fails to comply with the terms and regulations of Big Pit.

JobaKnock tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and void if altered. Tickets that we reasonably suspect have been transferred or altered will not be honoured. Tickets are not for resale. Any such resale shall have the effect of rendering that ticket void.

From time to time, we may decide at our absolute discretion to issue tickets under special promotions (“Promotional JobaKnock Tickets”) but Promotional JobaKnock Tickets will be available subject to availability and subject to any terms and conditions affecting the particular promotion.

Ticket Cancellation

Should you wish to cancel a JobaKnock ticket, you must notify us immediately. We are under no obligation to issue refunds where a JobaKnock Ticket has been cancelled by you.

We reserve the right to cancel a JobaKnock ticket and will endeavour to notify you as soon as we become aware that this is necessary. In such circumstances a full refund will be issued.

Your Conduct

Whilst you and other visitors are at Big Pit, you must comply with all directions of our staff, relevant health and safety notices, policies and announcements made available to you.

Any breach of any of these terms, or any unacceptable behaviour by you or your guests that is likely to cause damage, nuisance, injury to any other visitor or member of our staff or to Big Pit itself, shall give rise to the right of Big Pit staff to eject you immediately from Big Pit.

We shall have the right to refuse admission or to eject any visitor from Big Pit if we deem granting you admission might be a risk to our property, the safety of others and/or affect the enjoyment of Big Pit by others.
