The club recognises that Professional football has made significant attempts to tackle the issues of racism in recent years.

Cardiff City Football Club has accepted all of the points made and were founder members of the "Lets Kick Racism Out of Football" campaign in Wales.

Ten Point Plan and Ongoing Campaign:

These objectives have been printed in the matchday programme and displayed prominently around the ground, from time to time, as part of an ongoing campaign.

The contract between us will not be formed until we dispatch the tickets to the address as stated in your order.

d.Whilst we try to ensure that pricing and ticketing information on our website are correct at all times, errors may occasionally occur. If we discover an error in the price or nature of the ticket you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible, and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled. If the order is cancelled, we will of course provide you with a full refund.
