## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- 'Arena opera tickets' on tour platforms are not festival tickets: GetYourGuide and Viator sell Arena day visits and concerts in other venues.
- The Arena no longer sells unnumbered tickets: every place, including the stone steps, is numbered.
- A rained-off show is not automatically refunded: refunds apply only if it is cancelled before it starts.
