The right of access and visitation is subject to the condition that the ticket purchaser, as a visitor to the event, meets the security, access and age requirements of the event. As far as such requirements exist, they are in the description of the event www.brodbeck-lips.ch or the ticket provider (Seetickets, Ticketcorner etc.) (e.g. show from 16 years of age or accompanied by an adult). Small children under the age of three (3) years are excluded from Brodbeck & Lips GmbH events for health reasons (exceptions will be communicated).

​
3.2 Print@home tickets, mobile tickets and all tickets sent by the ticketing provider (by post or email) are automatically checked at the entrance to the event.

​
3.9 The ticket buyer acknowledges that there is no right of withdrawal with regard to the completed purchase of the tickets. The tickets received for the event can therefore not be returned as a matter of principle. Exchanges are possible for a fee in individual cases. The same applies if the date of the event and/or the venue has to be postponed for any reason. In these cases, the ticket entitles the event visitor to attend the event on the replacement date or location. If an event is canceled for any reason, the ticket in question must be returned within 30 days of the cancellation at the advance booking office where it was purchased/ordered. Only the nominal value printed on the ticket will be refunded without fees, whereby Brodbeck & Lips GmbH is entitled to charge the nominal value for objectively justified reasons, e.g. Reduce the refund amount by a maximum of 10%. Refunds can only be made to the original purchaser. In the case of cancellations due to "force majeure" such as war, terrorist attacks, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, official restrictions or bans and the like, regardless of whether such circumstances were foreseeable at the time of ticket purchase (where there is no postponement date within 365 days). no tickets or their and other costs will be refunded.

Processing fees paid in addition to the ticket price will not be refunded.
