Entry calculation for course bookings:
When booking a course, the day ticket is given to the participant as gift. This means that only one person is entitled to free admission, even if the person has been booked more than once. In this way, we can guarantee that the course participants also have an entry ticket.

Cancellations of course bookings:
Up to 2 months before the event the course fee will be refunded at 100%.
Up to 1 month before the event the course fee will be refunded at 50%.
After 1 month there will be no refund.

Course cancellations by the organization:
Courses that do not reach the minimum number of participants will be cancelled 1 month before the festival starts. The previous participants will be informed and their costs will be refunded in full.

Cancellations of entrance tickets:
For day and weekend tickets there is no refund. These are not refundable.

Ticket shipment
The tickets will be sent by e-mail after receipt of payment. Please also check your spam folder, as many mail providers pre-sort the e-mails.

Advance booking
The advance booking is closed 1 week before the festival. There is a box office for admission to the exhibitor hall. Courses can no longer be booked on site.
