Place of jurisdiction is Leipzig.

With the purchase of a festival ticket the buying person accepts the general terms and conditions and the festival rules written down here.


2. Purchase contract

By purchasing tickets or related services, a direct contractual relationship between the purchasing person and the organizer Maultrommel e.V. is established.

The binding offer for the conclusion of the contract on the part of the purchasing person is made by the correct entry and sending of all necessary data for the processing of payment and the dispatch of the tickets or, in the case of bank transfers, by the receipt of the payment at the concert box office (advance payment). Subsequent changes or corrections of the data can be communicated under the email address info@ancient-trance.de.

The general two-week right of withdrawal or return regulated in the Distance Selling Act cannot be applied according to §312b para. 3 no. 6 BGB (German Civil Code), as the festival ticket is a procurement of services from the areas of leisure activities and accommodation, thus a withdrawal from the purchase contract of this festival ticket is excluded. See decision of the district court Munich from 02.12.2005, reference number: 182 C 26144/05.

Payment of the total price is due immediately and without deductions after submission or dispatch of the order.

The offered prices for the tickets are final prices including advance booking fee, as well as including the respectively valid value added tax. Additional fees may apply for payments not made by bank transfer, direct debit or cash. An additional shipping fee will be charged if tickets are sent by mail.

In the case of delivery of paper tickets, this is at the expense and risk of the person making the purchase. We are only liable within the scope of liability of Deutsche Post AG. The tickets will be shipped as soon as possible after receipt of payment.

In the case of transfers from abroad, the purchasing person assumes all transfer fees.

All tickets contain a so-called QR code with an individual ticket number. Admission is granted once per QR code or the ticket number encoded in it. The code must therefore be kept in a safe place - like cash - and is considered binding proof of authorization.

The purchase of tickets and free tickets for the purpose of resale is generally prohibited. Violations and attempted fraud will be prosecuted in any case.


3. Refund

If, contrary to expectations, the event is cancelled by the organizer, the purchasing person can return his ticket to the organizer within 6 weeks. In this case, the organizer will only refund the face value of the ticket if it can be proven that the ticket was purchased at an authorized advance booking office.

In all other cases (including program changes, weather conditions, loss of the ticket, obscured view...) there is no right to a refund of the purchase price of tickets.


4. Program design

The responsibility for the content of the musical performances lies solely with the respective artists. The organizer reserves the right to change the complete program (including admission times and program sequence) at any time without prior notice.
