CANCELLATION POLICY
1. Should an Event/Concert/Festival be cancelled for reasons of force majeure, or artists’ inability to perform or for other reasons not at the fault of the Company in case the specific case will not be regulated in particular by a Government decision (Joint Ministerial Decision, law etc), then there will be an announcement (by the Company) on how part or the entire price of the Ticket (as per case) can be refunded. Except for the special regulations by Law or State – Government decisions (e.g. K.Y.A., etc)The precondition for the aforementioned refund is the definite inability of the cancelled artists to appear in our country within 180 days of their scheduled appearance. Should the artist appear within the aforementioned 180 day period, then the Ticket holder of the cancelled Event will be able to use their Ticket on the new Event date to be designated by the Company. In such a case the tickets are valid as they are and cannot be refunded.
2. In case of definite cancellation of the event through the Company’s fault, the full amount of the Ticket will be refunded.
3. Cancellation of an event is defined as the definite cancellation of a scheduled Event without the possibility of scheduling a new date.
4. ATTENTION Especially in the case of multi-day festivals involving more than one artist, each Ticket you purchase corresponds to admission to the Festival venue and Event attendance only on the day stated on the Ticket.
A Ticket for one day of multi day festival is independent of the performance and participation of a particular artist, whose performance may change, or be postponed, or replaced or cancelled if they are unable to perform for reasons unrelated to the producers.
Therefore any change in an artist’s Festival Day appearance or even the eventual cancellation of the appearance of any artist who was announced in the line-up of a specific Festival Day is not automatically a reason for cancellation of the Ticket or reduction of the Ticket Price, provided that it is not the fault of the Organizers
5. In the event of interruption and cancellation of the Event for reasons of force majeure, at least sixty (60) minutes after its commencement, it shall be deemed completed and shall not be repeated. In such a case the Company does not refund the price of the Ticket.

You shall have to provide us with the aforementioned information within the period announced by the Company so that we can refund the amounts in a timely manner. For as long as you fail to supply us with the required information, it is impossible for us to refund your money and therefore the Company is in no way responsible for any delay due to such a reason.
