Following tickets with the same identification are automatically invalidated by the first. With the use of the access authorisation the user accepts the general terms and conditions of the promoter and the rules of the house of the location.
Cancellations, changes, refunds
oeticket is only a ticket broker and is not liable for the refunding of admission prices but will make every effort to prompt the promoters to do so. In case of reimbursement the printed price on the ticket will be refunded fully. This price already includes the customary presale fee and system fee. On rare occasions (i.e., changes in pricing from the organiser, surcharges requested from the organiser, etc.) it can occur that a price can be asked which is higher than that which is printed on the ticket. In such occasions oeticket can only refund the printed price on the ticket. Possible additionally collected fees (delivery costs, collection costs, call centre booking costs, etc.) will under no circumstance be refunded. In the case of a cancellation of an event ticket(s) can be returned for refund up to two months after the planned date of the event to the place of purchase (either to the outlet where they were purchased or in the case of an order placed by telephone, fax or online booking by returning the original ticket(s) by registered mail to Ticket Express, Heumühlgasse 11, A 1040 Vienna with name and account number, bank and bank code for the re-transfer), as long as the general terms and conditions of the promoter or location do not prohibit this.
The return of tickets at the outlets can only be accepted on the next but one Monday after the date of the announcement of the cancellation of the event. Owners of print@home and mobile tickets will be refunded the amount - when already paid - without any further claim using the same method used for payment. The mobile ticket is then invalidated. The right is reserved to make minor or necessary changes to the cast or programme.
In the case of a cancellation, postponement or changes to the cast or the programme no expenses incurred (e.g. transport, hotel, advance sales fee or delivery charges) will be refunded. In the case of a cancellation, postponement or any other form of change of an event oeticket reserves the right to inform those customers who have bought tickets for this event of these changes. This information is a volunteer service of oeticket and can take place by mail and/or electronically by e-mail or sms if correct contact data is provided.
