2.1. General terms regarding the purchasing of tickets
All persons are entitled to purchase tickets (single tickets, day passes, multi-day passes and season passes).
Tickets for Wexl Arena are not transferable. Retroactive changes to the validity period of tickets are not possible.
The ticket prices and their validity periods are based on the relevant Wexl Arena price lists. A valid proof of age is required without exception for the purchase of all concession tickets (children and seniors).

The Client is obliged to present the ticket whenever requested by Wexl Arena staff.
Providing false personal details, particularly dates of birth, false certifications and/or forgeries of certifications shall immediately result in all entitlements being cancelled and the Client being barred from all facilities. Compensation claims by the Client are not possible in this instance. In this instance, Wexl Arena is entitled to charge a manipulation fee of EUR 75 and to demand that the value of the ticket be repaid in full. Wexl Arena reserves the right to assert further claims for damages and to press criminal charges.
Any abusive use of the ticket shall result in its immediate and irreversible termination. An abusive use entails, in particular, even merely attempting to provide the ticket for use by a third party.
Tickets can be given out through the use of a contactless data storage device from Wexl Arena. The data storage device is property of Wexl Arena and is to be returned to Wexl Arena at the end of its service life. For the issue of the data storage device, a deposit of EUR 3.00 shall be taken by Wexl Arena. The deposit of EUR 3.00 shall be returned to the Client upon return of the undamaged and fully-functioning data storage device no more than 3 years after its issue.
2.2. Damaged and defective data storage device
The Client acknowledges that, due to the necessary data exchange in connection with the data storage device, exceptional malfunctions may occur without resulting in any legal consequences, provided that the services can still be provided to Wexl Arena by other means.
If a data storage device is not accepted at the turnstile, despite the validity printed thereupon, the Client must inform Erlebniswelt staff immediately. In the case of defective data storage devices, another suitable access authorisation method shall be issued by Wexl Arena.
