Special Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Tickets for the Nation of Gondwana Festival / Visitor Regulations

Each ticket is only valid for one person. Children and young people may not purchase tickets. The purchaser bindingly agrees that he/she is of legal age.
2. If the event contract is concluded at artevent GmbH or at an authorised sales outlet, the event contract with artevent GmbH is concluded by handing over the tickets; if the order is placed by telephone, it is concluded by the employee of artevent GmbH stating the booking number. In the case of an order by telephone, the customer has the opportunity to view the general terms and conditions in advance at the advance booking offices and at www.pyonen.de. The customer will also be sent the general terms and conditions together with the order. In addition, the General Terms and Conditions will be sent to the customer together with the ordered tickets immediately after conclusion of the contract. In the case of an order by telephone, the customer will be informed before the order process that by continuing the order he/she accepts the inclusion of these GTC without the GTC being sent to him/her before the conclusion of the contract.
3. In the case of an order in the online booking system, the offer for the conclusion of a contract is made by the orderer as soon as he places an order for a ticket. If artevent GmbH accepts the orderer’s offer, it confirms this by sending an e-mail, which also constitutes acceptance of the offer.
4. The rights and obligations arising from the event contract documented by the admission ticket can only be transferred to a third party by the third party entering into the event contract and assuming all rights and obligations. This entry requires the consent of artevent GmbH, which is not granted in particular in the event of the sale of the right to attend or of tickets within the framework of auctions not authorised by artevent GmbH, in particular on the Internet or via other Internet marketplaces or Internet ticket exchanges not authorised by artevent GmbH.
5. Each orderer may – irrespective of the number of order processes – order a maximum of the number of tickets that artevent GmbH indicates as the maximum quantity for the respective event. Circumventing this prohibition by giving different names is prohibited. For reasons of contact tracing in the event of a Corona infection, the tickets will be personalised. For this purpose, purchasers must provide their contact details truthfully and in full. Admission to the event will only be granted if the ticket holder can identify himself and the names on the ticket and on the identification document match. The visitor can identify himself/herself with official identification and identification documents with a photo, such as an identity card, passport or driving licence. artevent GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the event contracts concluded by the orderer by blocking the tickets in the event of a breach of the obligations from sentences 1, 2, 3 and/or 4.

In order to prevent acts of violence and criminal offences in connection with attendance at the event, to enforce prohibitions on attendance, to prevent the resale of tickets at inflated prices and in the interests of the safety of spectators, artevent GmbH’s consent to the entry of a third party into the event contract in accordance with clause 4. will not be granted in the following cases:
   • in the case of the sale of visiting rights or tickets, if the resale price offered or achieved (auctions) exceeds the remuneration owed by artevent GmbH for these visiting rights/tickets plus a flat rate of 2 euros by more than 10%; this also applies in particular in the context of a private transfer (artevent GmbH does not agree to the private sale on ebay under the aforementioned conditions)…;

8. For each violation of the prohibition mentioned in clause 7, the contractual partner is obliged to pay artevent GmbH a contractual penalty, the amount of which is to be determined by artevent GmbH at its reasonable discretion, but which may not exceed 2,500.00 EUR. The number of unlawfully offered visiting rights or tickets is decisive for the number of violations.

   – to withdraw from the event contract and/or
