Please read our COVID-19 page carefully, particularly the section regarding the purchase of tickets. To allow us to ensure social distancing between groups you must only buy tickets for your own household or Support Bubble.
Buy with confidence. In the event of the cancellation of any of our shows due to changes in local or national COVID control restrictions, customers will be notified as soon as possible and ticket prices will be refunded in accordance with the terms and conditions of sale available on the Skiddle site.
Please note that in order to allow for adequate spacing for Social Distancing we can only sell tickets in multiples of 2 up to a maximum of 6 per transaction.
We have created a special page with information about how we plan to run the shows and about specific measures and controls we plan to have in place during the Festival (click here). If circumstances change we may have to amend our plans but we will do our utmost to ensure that any impact on the shows will be kept to the minimum possible.
Tickets for Southport Comedy Festival shows are available from Skiddle via this website 24 hours a day.
The reselling of tickets is strictly forbidden under any circumstances. Only tickets sold through the official channel will be honoured on the night.
Tickets are instant delivery either by email or via the Skiddle App. There is a booking fee applied to all tickets purchased online. Please read our Terms and Conditions (click here) for Accessibility information and general terms of sale before buying tickets. Where a show is shown as “Limited Tickets” this means it is nearly sold out and it is your last chance to buy. Most “Sold Out” shows have a waiting list for returns but these are few and far between. Please don’t miss out on the shows you want to see.
