“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

They added: “Please note anyone who has purchased tickets from the Millennium Forum need to contact the Millennium Forum Box Office for refund. All purchased tickets are eligible for refund.

“New tickets will become available for the Helix Regional Final tomorrow morning, we will publish the links on our social channels as soon as we have them.”
