Different suppliers have varying booking procedures which require card details at different times during the booking process.

Can I store my payment details for future purchases?
Yes, you can store your payment details either in your Profile or at checkout. We have enabled this feature to allow for a seamless payment process.
If you choose to store your payment details, we will securely store your billing address, card number and expiry date, however we will never store your card’s security code (CVV). Security code will need to be entered for every purchase, although that’s all you’ll have to do as it won’t be necessary to enter your card number or any other details.

We take the storage of your data incredibly seriously and have created a secure digital environment where your details are protected.
For your peace of mind, here are some of the ways in which we secure your data:

To escalate complaints efficiently, thereby minimising effort and barriers for the member to complain.
To keep members informed as to the progress of their complaint and the expected timeframe for full resolution.

What can I do online?
The website showcases the latest table availability at some of the world’s best restaurants via our ‘Held Tables’ listings, giving you the opportunity to make reservations even when the restaurant is fully booked. You can also keep abreast of dining news, reviews, events and rumours with our regularly updated articles and interviews with leading chefs
What are Held Tables?
There are two types of Held Tables available:
Exclusive to Ten Concierge: these tables are organised and pre-booked by our team of dining experts. These tables are available only to our members, not the general public.
Last-minute availability: this is where we have recently been notified by the management at the restaurant of this availability. Please send through your request and a member of our dining team will be in contact to confirm. In the event that this table has been taken, we will endeavour to find you a suitable alternative via our network of restaurant contacts.
How do I book Held Tables?
Simply click the restaurant you wish to book, fill in the requested details and we’ll send you an email as soon as we have confirmed the booking with the restaurant. If you are having difficulties or would like to discuss a booking, please contact us and speak with a Lifestyle Manager.

As with Held Tables, simply click the restaurant you wish to book and fill in the requested details. We will send you a confirmation email as soon as we have confirmed your booking. Depending on the party size the restaurant may require a credit card to secure the booking. On these occasions we will contact you for your card details.

You will receive email confirmation of your booking to your registered email address from one of our restaurant specialists.
I need to cancel / change my reservation

How do I request tickets which are going on sale in the near future?
This is a very similar process to buying tickets already on sale. You will be asked to request tickets and you will be able to select up to three dates in order of preference for Lifestyle Managers to check availability. This request will be sent to our Lifestyle Managers and they will be in contact once the ticket booking has been processed.
Why do I provide my card details for some ticket requests and not for others?
The box offices we use have different booking procedures which require card details at different times during the booking process. Therefore the point at which we require your card details will depend on the box office used to fulfil your request.
What does Track Artists mean?
Track Artists gives you the opportunity to identify who you would like to see when they announce a tour in the future. You can follow an artist by search and adding them in the Preferences section of the My Profile page. When you follow an artist, we will automatically send you an email as soon as we hear anything about the artist in question.
The artist I want to follow is not on the list, how do I track them?

In this case you will have agreed to these terms and conditions and will be liable for the costs.
How/when will I receive my tickets?
Tickets will be sent directly to you from the box office. It is the producers and the promoters that decide when these are sent to help reduce ticket fraud. Theatre tickets are sent usually within 48 hours of purchase. Music and Sports tickets are usually released 5-7 days before the event. If the event has e-tickets then you will be emailed these following the booking.
How many tickets can I request?
This varies per event. You will be able to see this on the drop down when you select the number of tickets.
What happens if I can no longer attend an event?
We do not offer refunds but are happy to transfer the ticket to another name.
Where are my tickets?
For our exclusive events with a ticket price attached you do not need a ticket. Your name will be on the door at the event.
For our complimentary tickets we work in a number of ways with the event providers and this will vary between events between paper tickets sent by post, e-tickets delivered to your email, or a guest list at the event on the day. If you have not received your tickets within 5 days before the event please contact us.
What data do you share with the supplier?
We share only what is necessary.
For exclusive events this will just be your name and any dietary requirements you have given us.
For complimentary tickets this will be your name and then either email or home address depending on how the tickets are delivered.

All our events are run on a first-come first-serve basis. Sometimes we have an outstanding response to our invites and events may sell out quickly.
