Article 2 – Admission Tickets

2.1. An admission ticket can consist of a document provided by or on behalf of Insomniac Europe or a unique barcode or QR code provided by or on behalf of Insomniac Europe.

2.2. The admission ticket is issued once and gives in principle access to one person. If there is a group ticket, the admission ticket provides access to the number of people specified on the group ticket.

2.3. The admission ticket is and remains Insomniac Europe’s property. The admission ticket entitles the holder to attend the event. Only the holder of the admission ticket who is the first to show the admission ticket at the start of the event is granted access. Insomniac Europe may assume that the holder of this admission ticket is also the person entitled to it (the customer). Insomniac Europe is not obliged to carry out any further verification of valid admission tickets. The customer must ensure that they become and remain the holder of the admission ticket issued by Insomniac Europe or by an advance sales organisation engaged by Insomniac Europe.

2.4. As of the time that the admission ticket has been given to the customer, the customer bears the risk of loss, theft, damage or misuse of the admission ticket.

2.5. Only purchases from the authorised advance sales organisations engaged by Insomniac Europe or from Insomniac Europe guarantee the validity of the admission ticket. The burden of proof in this regard lies with the customer.

2.6. The admission ticket that consists of a bar- or QR-code is supplied to the customer via electronic communication (email or app). If the customer has chosen to receive the admission ticket in this way, the customer must ensure that this admission ticket can be supplied through secure electronic communication. Insomniac Europe can neither guarantee the confidentiality of the supplied admission ticket nor the receipt of the admission ticket.

2.7. Insomniac Europe reserves the right to set a maximum on the number of admission tickets that can be ordered. The customer is then obliged to keep to the maximum fixed by Insomniac Europe. Insomniac Europe reserves the right to cancel the number of tickets ordered that exceeds the maximum set by Insomniac Europe.

Article 3 – Prohibition against Resale, etc.

3.1. The customer is obliged to keep the admission ticket for an event for themselves and therefore not to resell it in any way to third parties, to offer it for sale or to give it to third parties for commercial purposes.

Insomniac Europe can decide to sell admission tickets to an event by name (i.e. personalized). In that case the admission ticket is non-transferable and – in deviation from the above – only the person in whose name the ticket has been given has access. Insomniac Europe is entitled (but not obliged) to check the identity of the holder of the admission ticket to determine whether it corresponds to the name on the admission ticket, and if it does not correspond, to refuse the holder of the admission ticket access to the event.

3.4. If the customer does not comply with their obligations as described in the preceding paragraphs of this article and/or cannot guarantee them, the customer will owe Insomniac Europe an immediately payable fine of € 10,000 per violation and € 5,000 for each day that the violation has continued and continues, without prejudice to Insomniac Europe’s right to demand compliance from the customer and/or compensation for the damage suffered or to be suffered.

Directive (EU) 2015/2302 as transposed into national law Title 7A of Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Liability

Insomniac is not liable for non-conformity during the execution of the (package) travel contract if you have not fulfilled their obligation to complain.

Insomniac is not liable for non-conformities if they can be attributed to a supplier/service provider involved in the execution of the agreement without there being a trip agreement and/or Insomniac only acting as an intermediary. This includes goods/services that are not part of the trip agreement, such as merchandise and separately booked transfers.

Insomniac is not responsible for non-conformities as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, such as weather conditions or a ban issued by a competent authority on the organisation of the event, war or other serious security problems such as terrorism, major hazards to human health such as the outbreak of a serious disease at the destination, or natural disasters such as forest fires, floods, earthquakes.

Insomniac is not liable for non-conformities if they are attributable to you or a third party not engaged by Insomniac for the purpose of executing the trip agreement.

The liability of Insomniac is limited to a maximum of three times the travel fare unless the damage consists of personal injury or the damage is caused by intent or gross negligence on the part of Insomniac.

The exclusions and/or limitations of Insomniac’s liability included in these terms also apply to the staff of Insomniac, the booking office and the service providers involved, as well as their staff, unless this is excluded by treaty or law.

If a service included in the trip is governed by an international treaty or regulation that recognises or permits exclusion or limitation of the liability of the service provider, the liability of Insomniac will be excluded or limited accordingly. In the event of an accumulation of compensation or price reduction, Insomniac may offset the compensation against each other.

Additional Terms

It is your responsibility to obtain all necessary information and to have the required documents in your possession, such as a valid passport or a valid national identity document and any required visas, proof of vaccinations, driving licence and green card, etc. You should also check, in good time before departure, that the information previously obtained has not changed in the meantime.

You have the right to terminate the contract at any time before the trip begins. In that case, you will owe the price of the trip minus any cost savings and income from Insomniac’s alternative use of travel services (if applicable).

We recommend that you purchase travel insurance that covers your costs if you terminate the contract or covers the cost of assistance, including repatriation, in the event of accident, illness or death.

This trip is not available if you are under 18 years old.
