If your group is all paying individually, you will want this option. We can create a private link, with your parties date, time and cost, for your friends to jump on and buy their own tickets! If you are paying for the total group, e.g. a kids party or corporate event, we will just send you an invoice for the total cost.
Note: The balance for a private party with confirmed numbers must be paid 1 week before the party. No refunds can be provided after final invoice is paid. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reduce the numbers of your booking after final payment, either. Numbers can be increased up to the party day and extra payment can be made on the day.
