PLEASE NOTE: We are now using Ticketpass for ASDC events. It's an ethical ticketing platform that gives 50% of the booking fees to charities working to make a positive impact on the planet. The only snag is the way it's set up means there are two mandatory questions asking for your DOB and phone number, this is for larger events but cannot be changed (feel free to use any numbers in these boxes!).
