As of 17.08.2026

Scope

1. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter „Terms“) of Waldgeister Dornstadt e.V. describe the contractual conditions that apply when a consumer or a business (hereinafter „Visitor“) purchases a ticket for the event of Waldgeister Dornstadt e.V. (hereinafter „Organiser“) named on the ticket. The house and site rules of the respective venue also apply. By purchasing and holding a ticket to an event, the applicability of these Terms is accepted.
2. These Terms apply for the entire duration of the event named on the ticket, and the Visitor undertakes to comply with them. Individual agreements on the purchase of a ticket are excluded.

Applicable law & place of jurisdiction

3. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies to the business relationships described below.
4. The place of jurisdiction is the Local Court of Nördlingen, Tändelmarkt 5, 86720 Nördlingen.

Persons covered and points of contact

5. A „Visitor“ within the meaning of these Terms is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity.
6. A „Business“ within the meaning of these Terms is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity that, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity.

Conclusion of contract

7. By purchasing the ticket, contractual relationships arise exclusively between the purchaser and/or holder of the ticket and the Organiser.
8. The contract is concluded exclusively via the online portals verified by the Organiser or via suitable advance booking offices verified by the Organiser (hereinafter „Ticket Partners“). The verified Ticket Partners are listed on the event’s websites. The general terms and conditions of the respective Ticket Partner become part of the contract once the contract is successfully concluded.
9. Sending the ticket by electronic or physical means constitutes acceptance of the contract by the Organiser. The ticket is only sent after payment of the purchase price. The Organiser reserves the right to transfer the processing of the contract to a Ticket Partner verified by it.

Right of withdrawal

10. In accordance with § 312g para. 2 no. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB), unless otherwise agreed, there is no right of withdrawal for contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision. Accordingly, a right of withdrawal is also excluded for contracts concerning the sale of tickets for leisure events tied to a specific date.

Cancellation & refunds

11. An event may be cancelled. Visitors will therefore find all information regarding cancellation and programme changes on the event page in good time. Visitors are therefore strongly advised to check the event’s websites for current changes in good time before setting off.
12. In the event of a cancellation before the event begins, the Visitor may demand a refund of the face value of the ticket. For online bookings the refund is processed via the Ticket Partner, for direct purchases via the Organiser itself.
13. At events with several artists or groups, programme changes may occur. If individual artists (or groups) cancel, the Organiser will endeavour to find a suitable replacement; the Visitor has no claims arising from the cancellation of individual artists (or groups). For individual concerts, this claim only lapses if the essential character of the event is preserved, e.g. if the support act cancels.
14. Access to event areas with limited capacity is only granted within the officially approved capacities. Once the capacity is exhausted, the Organiser may temporarily restrict access without this giving rise to a claim for a partial refund of the ticket price.
15. For safety reasons the Organiser may temporarily or completely clear and cordon off individual parking and camping areas or other areas of the event grounds without this giving rise to a claim for a partial refund of the ticket price. The relevant instructions of the Organiser or of the persons and companies it has commissioned must be followed immediately in order to avert danger to life and limb.
16. The Organiser reserves the right to interrupt or abandon the event at any time if visitors are potentially at risk. There is no claim to a refund of the admission price on the grounds of an interruption or abandonment for the avoidance of danger.
17. The Organiser reserves the right to expel visitors who repeatedly fail to follow the instructions of the Organiser or its agents from part or all of the festival grounds. There is no claim to a refund of the admission price.
18. The Organiser reserves the right to expel from the entire festival grounds visitors who riot, damage or steal property of the Organiser or of the companies and persons it has commissioned, or who injure, discriminate against or threaten violence towards other visitors, and to report this to the authorities. There is no claim to a refund of the admission price.

Ticket transfer

19. The ticket can only be redeemed once and only on the date stated on the ticket at the venue stated on the ticket. The same applies to hardcover tickets – where available for the respective event.
20. Personalised tickets can only be redeemed by the person printed on the ticket. Hardcover tickets – where available for the respective event – may be re-personalised at the entrance, taking account of legal requirements (e.g. for combating a pandemic) and in compliance with statutory data protection provisions (GDPR), and stored in the Organiser’s systems for a limited period under the legal provisions applicable at the time. During the re-personalisation process, the Organiser will explicitly inform the Visitor of the respective applicable legal provisions. The Visitor must consent to these. Should the Visitor refuse consent, redemption of the ticket may be denied. This does not constitute a withdrawal from the ticket purchase.
21. Should the holder of a personalised ticket wish to transfer their ticket to another person, they may do so via the Ticket Partner’s online portal, provided this is permitted for the respective event. Fees may apply. Details of the transfer process can be found in the respective FAQ on the event’s websites.
22. Commercial resale of event tickets is not permitted.
23. Event tickets may not be sold privately at a price higher than the ticket price printed on them.
24. A breach of these conditions results in the loss of the right of admission to the respective event without compensation. The event ticket becomes invalid.

Prices, payment and delivery terms

25. Unless the seller’s item description states otherwise, the prices quoted are total prices including statutory VAT. For deliveries to countries outside the European Union, further costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which are to be borne by the customer. These include, for example, costs for the transfer of money by credit institutions (e.g. transfer fees, exchange rate fees) or import duties or taxes (e.g. customs duties). Such costs may also arise in relation to the transfer of money if the delivery is not made to a country outside the European Union, but the Visitor makes the payment from a country outside the European Union.
26. The payment and delivery option(s) will be communicated to the Visitor by the Ticket Partners.
