When Robbie William's new album "XXV" was released in September 2022, you realized abruptly: it's been a damn near 25 years since he left Take That behind and, after a wild start, suddenly became one of Europe's biggest ...
solo pop stars.
Meanwhile, Robbie has sold more than 85 million albums around the world, landed with 13 of his albums at No. 1 in the UK, something previously achieved only Elvis. He holds the record for the "most tickets sold in one day by an artist" (1.6 million) since November 2005 and has played live at Knebworth in front of 375,000 people. This means he has far outstripped Take That and his ex-colleagues, which may have played a small part in the decision to bring Williams back on board later. But those are all just numbers. What really underscores his greatness are his continuous releases of global hits such as: "Angels", "Feel", "Rock DJ", "She's The One" and of course "Let Me Entertain You" - the statement of Robbie Williams that has become a song.
On "XXV" Robbie Williams now jumps once again into his complete discography. With everything he has and with a fantastic orchestral sound - which plays arrangements of experts and companions Jules Buckley, Guy Chambers and Steve Sidwel. Williams himself says he has "re-worked, re-imagined, and re-loved" his songs. He says he was especially attracted to the fact that he had to compete "with his much younger self" on the new recordings. But that would have spurred him on even more.
The songs range from the aforementioned world hits, to fairly new pieces like "Lost", which was written just last fall and means a lot to him personally.
We are very happy that Robbie Williams will perform this very special complete album live. And of course he will do so in Germany - where he has always been at least as beloved as in his British homeland.

Anyone who sees the Belgian-Egyptian singer, guitarist and songwriter Tamino live once will fall under his spell. Big words, sure, but you're welcome to convince yourself of this statement's truthfulness in February, ...
when he stops by for three more shows in Germany.
Already his debut "Amir" from 2018 convinced many critics and fans alike. Now there is finally the much-awaited second album " Sahar", on which Tamino brings together the wistful mood of Arabic musical traditions with melancholic poetry. That Tamino's music is steeped in the sound of the Middle East should hardly come as a surprise if you know a little about his biography. His grandfather, Muharram Fouad, was one of Egypt's most famous singers and actors, and it was his old guitar, given to Tamino as a child, that started him on his musical journey. On "Sahar" Tamino pays musical tribute to Fouad, musical: he very often lets an oud chime, the lute instrument from the Near East that his grandfather played.
Also involved in Tamino's second album were: Producer PJ Maeartens, drummer Ruben Vanhoute and Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood. As a guest voice he was able to win the French pop singer Angèle in the wonderful duet "Sunflower".
Live, songs like "The Longing", the acoustic road trip "Fasciniation", the slow grooving "You Don't Own Me" from "Sahar", but also pieces like "Habibi" and "Indigo Night" from the debut "Amir" gain an intensity that is second to none. If you don't fall for Tamino's voice and guitar playing, you won't feel anything else either.

When the Young Fathers returned in the summer with their single "Geronimo", the first release since the great album "Cocoa Sugar" from 2018 crystallized again what a special band is the trio from Edinburgh. Alloysious ...
Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and G. Hastings slowly pulled us back into their sonic cosmos with this song.
With a calm clacking beat and dark synths that slowly get louder by the deep murmured vocals.
At this point you can clearly hear that touring together with Massive Attack has left its mark.
But then comes the chorus, a high voice singing the name "Geronimo" and shortly after the already irresistible song rises with a soulful force and you think: this is how you announce yourself back as a band!
The Young Fathers themselves say that "Geronimo" is "a song about contrasts, because life is a contrast - asserting yourself, giving up, everything at the same time.
More new music will be released via Ninja Tunes in the near future - and expectations are high after the last two albums "Cocoa Sugar" and "White Men Are Black Men Too". They were celebrated by critics and fans alike. You have still to see this trio live and you'll have a chance to do in the spring of next year.

Nick Mulvey has one of those voices that inspire, comfort and touch people all over the world. His song "Fever To The Form" from his debut ep from 2013 has generated hundreds of millions streams on various platforms and ...
is still having an indescribable effect. He found the themes and stories of the 13 songs on his actual album in his own family, so to speak - starting with a grandmother whom he didn't even know before. Shaped and horrified by current world events, Nick Mulvey studied how humanity reacted to major crises and considered how it could reconcile with nature in the future. He found solace in the stories of families and lineages stretching back to the distant past. Musically, "New Mythology" shows, just like his concerts, that many things flow together in his art.
In February 2023 Nick Mulvey will finally be able to present the new songs live in Germany - in Berlin at Zenner.

The Danish singer and songwriter Alex Vargas has made an impression far beyond national borders with songs like "Shackled Up" and "Solid Ground", enriched playlists and collected millions of streams. This summer, when ... Vargas made the crowds sing at various Danish festivals, one could see just how much loved his modern pop compositions are. A total of over 200,000 people saw and listened to him. Now he is preparing for the release of his third studio album called "BIG BIG MACHINE". The first single "Yougazer" landed in the top 20 of the single charts and the follow-up "Pages" is slowly picking up speed. No wonder, after all, everything is in it that makes Alex Vargas special: a good sense for clear melodies that fit well on the radio, but still bring depth. His powerful voice, which sometimes boasts dramatically and sometimes creeps up quietly but emphatically. And his sometimes extraordinary lyrics. You can hear it, for example, in "Yougazer", which begins with this beautiful line: "Lost at the bottom of a candy bowl / We're fresh out the rush where we found gold."

What Earlier this month, he was finally back again: Irish songwriter, singer, guitarist and million-seller Damien Rice released his song "Astronaut" for the first time. Fittingly, not as a glossy release with an ...
advertising campaign and TikTok challenge, but as the lead single for a charity sampler. The Busk Record" features unique recordings by artists such as Bono, Glen Hansard, Lisa O'Neill and Damien Rice. All proceeds go to the Irish homeless charity. Rice needs on "Astronaut" as always hardly more than his voice, his guitar and a discreet instrumentation. Tender and poignant, he sings, "I can be your brother / Help you to hide / I can blow your cover / Pull the thorns from your side."
Damien Rice's music has always had something comforting about it, even as he plumbs the depths of togetherness and heartbreak many times. Songs like "The Blower's Daughter," "9 Crimes," "Cannonball" and "I Don't Want To Change You" are high songwriting art that hits straight to the heart with seemingly simple means. The magic of his songs has always unfolded most vividly when Damien Rice is on stage alone or with a band. His shows are almost always sold out and his fans come back again and again. Also or just because he takes the time he needs to compose new music.
Therefore we are very happy that Damien Rice will go on a European tour in March and will also play a show in Germany. Whether there will be more new songs or even a new album, only the time will tell. Either way, in March 2023, old and new fans will stagger blissfully out of the Tempodrom.

Dear Ticket Holders,
we're terribly sorry to announce that, through no fault of the band, we are needing to cancel the EELS' concerts in Germany this spring. Multiple economic and logistical factors in Germany have ...
created a uniquely tough environment for live concerts and promoters nationwide. The EELS' performances are no exception. The band is (understandably) dismayed, and hope to return as soon as possible.
Purchased tickets will be refunded where they were bought - thank you for your understanding!

Rammstein are stepping up the pace and can announce today:
In 2023, the European Stadium Tour will be returning for a third time!
What this means has already been reported in many of the country's newspapers this ...
year – a stage construction that sometimes towers over the stadium roof, a show lit up with fire and flames, a perfectly orchestrated band, the humour and pathos of the Rammstein staging – all this is indeed unique in the world of music in terms of style, magnitude and quality. It is thus only logical that Rammstein offer all their fans and those who are about to become fans a fresh chance to experience their "gigantic show" (Rolling Stone) live, which makes European "stadiums rock" (Nordkurier), with "lots of fireworks, lots of bangs and smoke" (Sueddeutsche Zeitung).

Dominique Dillon de Byingto aka Dillon is probably one of the most fascinating musicians living in Germany. The Brazilian-born pianist, singer and songwriter already impressed with her debut album "This Silence Kills" ...
from 2011, which also features her most successful song "Thirteen Thirtyfive", which already has collected over 25 million streams on Spotify.
Her follow-up albums “The Unknown” (2014) and “Kind” (2017) established her as an intense and accomplished artist whose music gently and beguilingly pulls the listener into the darkness. This applies to their albums as well as to their concerts - which can be checked on the live album "Live At Haus Der Berliner Festspiele". There she begins with throbbing electronic noises, throws powerful beats into the noble venue, only to rely then almost exclusively on piano and voice a few songs later.
If you don't get goosebumps while recording "A Matter Of Time", which she dedicated to her mother, you won't feel anything else either. Now a fourth album is finally on the way - the first release since the 2019 EP "When Breathing Feels Like Drowning". It will be called "6abotage". It is an intensive collaboration with the producer and artist Alexis Troy, as she reveals in advance. "Working with Alexis, whose work I've admired for years, gave me access to a part of me that was yet to be artistically explored," says Dillon. "6abotage" is "the uncompromising manifestation of this musical collaboration. As a hybrid in the truest sense of the word, '6abotage' is a love letter, a call for help and consequence all rolled into one. Written, produced and recorded in complete isolation, without us ever being in the same room, 6abotage reflects today's zeitgeist. It's painful and distressing, but also comforting and devotional. '6abotage' is a successful protest.”

We are hoping for mild, summer evenings when Jack Johnson comes on tour in Germany in June 2023. Not only because Johnson, who is probably the most laid-back singer-songwriter of the past decade, won’t miss his home in ...
Hawaii as much when the temperatures are warm, but also because a beautiful sunset goes perfectly with the locations Johnson has chosen.
Following up on sold out dates in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Brazil, American singer-songwriter, surfer and environmentalist, Jack Johnson will be bringing his beautifully-crafted tunes and soothing, island-inspired vocals back to Germany for three shows in June 2023.
Johnson's latest album, Meet the Moonlight released earlier this year, on which Johnson scans the fractures of our society with a precise eye and tries to explore a balance between nature and progress. This was especially evident in the lead single "One Step Ahead". Johnson said, "We’re at a point where human nature hasn’t changed but the technology around us has changed dramatically, and it’s getting to this dangerous place where the most extreme and sensationalized opinions have the potential to be heard by so many people”. The chorus is about "trying to breathe through the noise and get to a calmer place”. While it may not have been his intention, Johnson also used it to describe the magical power of his music - and his concerts. The album was produced by Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Perfume Genius, Jim James) and recorded both in Los Angeles (at Sound City and EastWest) and The Mango Tree (Johnson’s studio in Hawai'i). The creation process marks a major artistic milestone from past work, taking shape from a one-on-one collaboration with Mills (whose contributions included everything from fretless guitar to Moog synth to steel drums) and unveiled an intimate and highly experimental process that involved embedding Johnson's elegantly stripped-back arrangements with enchanting sonic details.
Jack Johnson grew up surfing and playing guitar on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawai'i. Johnson's debut album 'Brushfire Fairytales' was released in 2001. A second solo album, ‘On and On’, was released in 2003. Two years later, his third solo release, ‘In Between Dreams’, reached #1 and sold over six million copies worldwide. It included the huge hits “Better Together” and “Good People” and the single "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," which gained Johnson a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Johnson also went on to provide the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Curious George which opened his music up to an even broader demographic. 2008’s 'Sleep Through The Static' debuted at #1 on the US album chart. Each subsequent album has featured a #1 song on the Adult Album Alternative Chart, with Johnson holding the record for total #1’s. Since 2001, Johnson has released eight studio albums and two live albums that have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and his songs have been streamed over 6 billion times.
Johnson is also known for using his notoriety to promote environmental activism. His Brushfire Records label and touring crew have been leaders in the greening of the music industry and his All At Once social action network inspires fans to get involved in their local and global community. Jack, with his wife Kim, founded the Kokua Hawai'i Foundation to support environmental education in Hawai'i's schools and communities, as well as the Johnson Ohana Foundation to support environmental, art and music education worldwide. Proceeds from these albums and tour profits, along with Johnson’s personal charitable activities, have resulted in over $37 million donated to charity since 2001. The Meet The Moonlight World Tour works closely with venues to promote sustainability including energy conservation, sourcing of local food and plastic free initiatives, including reusable models and water refill stations. In addition to taking strides to reduce the carbon footprint of the tour, 1 Euro of your ticket purchase will support local climate solutions.

Concepted upon Björk's last album ‘Utopia’, Cornucopia debuted as a residency show at New York City’s “The Shed”, receiving stellar reviews, with Rolling Stone commenting that it was a ‘spectacle of cutting- ...
edge sound and image’. The new Cornucopia show sees the original stage show of her catalogue music, reworked to include music from her current Grammy-nominated album “Fossora”.
"Cornucopia was always intended to be a world for both Utopia and the album after that which is now out there called “Fossora”. So, I am truly excited to premier those 2 worlds colliding, this autumn in Europe” - Björk

More than 35 years ago, we founded MCT because we love gigs. This still holds true to this day. We successfully work together with some of the biggest acts in pop music, constantly discover new artists and put them on stage. We think that gigs have to remain affordable.
We think that gigs have to remain affordable. For this reason, MCT advocates fair, transparent ticket prices and the battle against black marketeers.
Over the past decades, MCT has gained experience with a diverse range of bands and venues. Our team consists of professionals who put much blood, sweat and tears into organising concerts and don’t shy away from organisational challenges.
We handle everything it takes to put on a great gig: From official permissions to security, advertising and correct accounting.
Since 1984, we have been organising gigs and tours of any size in Germany. We book the locations for our bands that suit them best. This can be a stadium for tens of thousands of people or an underground club venue.
MCT also operates as an agency – in Europe and the rest of the world. We also manage, represent and advise artists.

1. SCOPE, CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
1.1 The present General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as
the "GTC") apply to concert events organized by MCT Agentur GmbH,
Strausberger Platz 2, 10243 Berlin, Managing Director: Scumeck Sabottka,
entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Amtsgericht (Local Court)
of Berlin under the number HRB: 65613 (hereinafter referred to as “we” or
“MCT”), with MCT acting as concert event organizer. They govern the
relationship in place between MCT and the purchasers of tickets
(hereinafter referred to as “you” or the “customer”). The GTC are a
component part of the agreement as to the acquisition of concert tickets
(hereinafter referred to as the “Tickets”). In the event that the customer
uses general terms and conditions of its own that contradict our GTC set
out here, these shall not become a component part of the agreement unless
we have consented to them in writing.
1.2 By purchasing a Ticket, you as our customer will confirm that you are
aware of these GTC and that you have accepted them as being binding upon
yourself. Should you acquire the Ticket(s) online, you will confirm this
by clicking on the button “Ich bestätige außerdem, dass ich die
Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelesen habe und stimme ihnen zu” (“I
furthermore confirm that I have read the General Terms and Conditions of
the event organizer and accept them”).
1.3 Besides the present GTC, the general terms and conditions of the
respective owner of the venue and its site shall apply for the respective
venue (including the corresponding house rules). These terms are included
herein by reference.
2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT, TICKET PURCHASE PRICE AND DUE DATE, NO
RIGHT OF REVOCATION, AND EXCLUSION OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX YEARS
2.1 Tickets may be purchased directly from one of our distribution
partners in advance ticket sale service points, via the internet, or via
ticket hotlines. Our distribution partners broker the sale of the Tickets
on behalf of MCT and for our account. The general terms and conditions
employed by our distribution partners have equal rank with the present GTC
and are likewise to be observed. Where our distribution partners’ terms
deviate from the MCT GTC, the latter shall govern.
2.2 In purchasing Tickets, an agreement as to the attendance of the
concert event is concluded by you as the customer and MCT as the concert
event organizer. MCT as the concert event organizer shall be entitled to
the entirety of the Ticket Purchase Price, which is comprised of the basic
ticket price, the advance booking charge, the charge for mass transit, the
system charge and other fees, in each case including statutory VAT
(hereinafter referred to as the “Ticket Purchase Price”). The Ticket
Purchase Price shall be due for payment immediately upon the contract
having been concluded, unless a different payment deadline is provided to
you in the course of the order process.
2.3 Our distribution partner may charge additional fees on its own behalf.
This will be indicated to you in the course of the order process.
2.4 Until payment of the Ticket Purchase Price is made in full, the
Tickets shall remain the sole property of MCT and shall not entitle their
bearer to access the concert event.
2.5 The contract as to the attendance of a concert event is a contract
concerning recreational events, regarding which the customer is not
entitled to any right of revocation. Accordingly, you cannot revoke your
declaration of intention regarding the order of tickets for recreational
events.
2.6 The sale of Tickets to children under the age of six (6) years is
hereby ruled out. No Ticket may be purchased for them (also not along with
other Tickets) as third-party beneficiaries. Children under the age of six
(6) years will not be granted access to the concert event, also not if
they are accompanied by a person who is a primary carer or who is tasked
with care guardian obligations.
3. VALIDITY OF THE TICKETS
3.1 Your Ticket will entitle only one person each to attend the concert
event. Upon your leaving of the concert, respectively the validation
(Online Tickets), the Ticket will no longer be valid.
3.2. It is expressly prohibited to use the Ticket in several instances.
4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS DURING THE SARS COV 2 PANDEMIC OR OTHER PANDEMICS OR
EPIDEMICS
4.1 In the event that a concert event is subject to legal or regulatory
requirements or measures to be taken due to containment measures against
the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (hereinafter referred to as the "Corona Pandemic")
or other pandemics or epidemics, the following provisions shall apply:
4.2 We reserve the right to impose access restrictions to a concert event.
Such access restrictions may include, for example, proof of vaccination or
convalescence, the presentation of a negative test result or the wearing
of masks. These will be announced as far as possible, at the latest 14
days before the start of the respective concert event. In case of
non-observance of such access restrictions, we are entitled to exclude the
respective visitor from the concert event. In this case, there is no right
to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price.
4.3 Attendance at a concert event is prohibited if the visitor has
contracted SARS-CoV-2, has knowingly had contact with a person who has
tested positive, has typical symptoms of infection with the coronavirus or
is affected by legal or official quarantine measures. In these cases,
there is also no entitlement to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. The
same applies to infections in the context of other pandemics or epidemics.
4.4 MCT is entitled to subsequently convert standing room seats into seats
or to allocate the ticket holder different seats in the same category for
the purpose of complying with distance areas or protection and hygiene
requirements prescribed by the authorities or by law. In such cases, the
customer shall not be entitled to any refunds.
4.5 Furthermore, it may occur that MCT has to reduce the number of
visitors originally admitted to a concert event. In such cases, MCT is
entitled to cancel Tickets against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase
Price (with the exception of the advance booking and system charge). MCT
will select the Tickets to be cancelled in a non-discriminatory process.
Claims for damages by the customer do not exist in the aforementioned
cases, unless MCT is at fault.
5. CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF A CONCERT EVENT
5.1 MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a concert event for reasons
of force majeure. Force majeure is any event beyond the control of a party
and for which it is not responsible that wholly or partially precludes the
performance of this Agreement in accordance with the purpose of this
Agreement (attendance at a concert event), makes such performance
substantially more difficult or makes such performance unreasonable for a
party. This includes, but is not limited to, catastrophic events, acts of
terrorism (including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such
acts of terrorism), violent riots (including the threat, danger or
reasonable suspicion of such riots), war or warlike events, epidemics,
pandemics, fire, extreme or catastrophic weather conditions (such as
floods, hurricanes or cyclones) that pose a threat to the life and limb of
the participants in the concert event, severe weather and/or catastrophe
warnings, strikes, as well as official orders for which the respective
party is not responsible, in particular as a result of the aforementioned
events. The Corona Pandemic is also considered as force majeure. MCT has
the right to cancel or reschedule a concert event if its performance is
prohibited by authorities or law, if a person substantially involved in
the concert event is unable to arrive and/or depart due to entry and/or
exit restrictions, or is unable to attend due to a Covid 19 disease,
suspected disease, or preventive measure.
5.2 In the event that a concert event is cancelled without replacement,
you are entitled to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. You must assert
this claim no later than four (4) weeks after the cancelled concert event
date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for
reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible
for proving the existence of those conditions that justify the
non-occurrence. In the event that a concert event is rescheduled to an
alternative date for reasons of force majeure (section 5.1), the Tickets
shall remain valid. A revocation of the ticket purchase and refund of the
Ticket Purchase Price as a result of the rescheduling is not possible,
unless it can be proven that you cannot reasonably be expected to attend
the new date, for example because you have already booked a trip. In the
event that the concert event is rescheduled to an alternative date for
other reasons, the claim for reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price
must be asserted by you no later than midnight on the day before the
alternative date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in
due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are
responsible for proving the existence of the conditions that justify the
non-occurrence.
5.3 Charges paid (advance booking charge and system charge, section 2.2)
will, except in the case of fault on the part of MCT, not be reimbursed.
Should you rescind the agreement as regards the event, we will set off our
claim to compensation in the amount of the charges against the claim to
reimbursement of the charges paid to us. The reason is that should you
rescind the said agreement, you will be under obligation to compensate us
for the value of the brokerage services that you have enjoyed by
purchasing your Ticket from us via our distribution partner. The same
applies to the system charge for the use of the ticketing system for
issuing your Tickets.
5.4 Should our distribution partner charge additional fees in its own name
(section 2.3), their reimbursement shall be goverened by the general terms
and conditions of our distribution partner.
5.5 You are to contact our distribution partner as regards your claim to
reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price, not including the paid
charges. Unless our distribution partner provides for a different
reimbursement procedure, the reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price,
with the exception of the advance booking fee and the system fee, will
only be made upon presentation of the original Tickets. Should the Tickets
have been lost, it will not be possible to reimburse the Ticket Purchase
Price or to provide you with replacement tickets.
5.6 Your rights to rescind the contract within the scope provided for by
law, or to demand compensation for damages in the event MCT is responsible
for a violation of its obligations, shall remain unaffected hereby.
However, the enforcement of claims to compensation of damages and/or the
reimbursement of expenditures shall be subject to the liability
reservation set out in section 11 hereof.
6. LIMITED TICKET PURCHASE
6.1 For certain concert events, the Ticket purchase per person is limited
to a maximum number of Tickets. The maximum number of Tickets will be
displayed to you during the order process. You may only purchase this
number of Tickets for the concert event, regardless of the number of
purchase processes. It is expressly prohibited that one person, or several
persons who have affiliated themselves with others for the purpose of
commercially trading tickets or selling them as a business, initiate(s) a
greater number of purchasing processes than specified, for example by
providing different e-mail addresses or using different payment means
(particularly by using pre-paid credit cards deployed for the pur-pose of
purchasing a greater number of tickets than is admissible), or by
circumventing this rule in any other way.
6.2 Section 10 applies in the event of a violation of section 6.1.
7. RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUIRING AND TRANSFERRING TICKETS
7.1 For reasons of fairness and to prevent the resale of Tickets at
excessive prices, thus also preventing any negative impacts on MCT’s
reputation as concert event organizer, it is in the interests of MCT to
restrict the acquisition and transfer of Tickets. You hereby enter into
obligation to purchase and use the Tickets solely for private use. In
particular, you are specifically prohibited from:
(a) Transferring or selling Tickets without the prior express approval of
MCT, or acquiring them on behalf of a third party, where this is done in
the context of commercial or business activities;
(b) Offering Tickets for sale in the context of internet auctions not
authorized by MCT;
(c) Selling Tickets to third parties with the intent of making a profit
without having obtained the prior express approval of MCT, or acquiring
them on behalf of a third party in order to obtain a profit by the
brokerage activity;
(d) Transferring and/or selling Tickets for advertisement or marketing
purposes, as a bonus, as a promotional gift or as part of any hospitality
or travel package not authorized by MCT;
(e) Selling Tickets in front of the concert event venue; or
(f) Acquiring Tickets by way of involving, as your representative, a third
party acting on your behalf in a business or commercial capacity, unless
the total fees to be paid to said third party amount to no more than 15%
of the Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2).
7.2 For any instance in which the prohibitions set out in section 7.1 are
culpably breached, MCT may demand that you pay a contractual penalty, the
amount of which MCT may determine at its equitable discretion, and which,
in the event of a dispute, may be reviewed before a court. As a general
rule, the amount of the contractual penalty shall be based on the current
offer price or price for the onward sale; as a minimum, however, it shall
be based on the Ticket Purchase Price of the Tickets offered for sale or
transferred in violation of section 7.1 hereof. The maximum contractual
penalty shall amount to EUR 7,500.00. Any further-reaching claims to
compensation of damages or demands for payment of a contractual penalty
for any other violations of the present GTC shall remain unaffected
hereby. Any contractual penalty paid shall be set off against a claim to
compensation of damages.
7.3 Where the stipulations of section 7.1(f) have been violated, the
agreement as to the attendance of the concert event will not be concluded,
since any representation is ruled out in this case. In such event, you
will be reimbursed for the Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2) already
paid, to the exception of the advance booking charge and the system
charge. Any Ticket already issued will be disabled by ourselves or by our
distribution partners and will thus lose its validity.
8. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF PERSONALIZED TICKETS
8.1 For certain concert events, the Tickets are personalized, in other
words, only that person has the right to demand access to the concert
event that holds visiting rights. That person’s name will be printed on
the Ticket as a component part of the Ticket. These concert events will be
marked with a corresponding notice regarding the personalization of the
Ticket, or notice of this fact will be given when the Ticket is purchased.
You enter into obligation to acquire the Tickets exclusively for your
private use and to use them exclusively on a private basis. Section 7.1
shall apply. The first name and last name you provide will be noted on the
Ticket. Should the option be available to purchase several personalized
Tickets, you will be asked, when you make the purchase, to provide the
first name(s) and last name(s) and the e-mail address(es) of the other
person(s) to whom the personalized Ticket(s) is / are to be issued; you
are under obligation to provide this information truthfully immediately in
making the purchase. The legal transaction will come about or fail upon
the immediate and truthful provision of the various names of Ticket
holders at the purchase, in due time, since immediately following the
purchase process, the Tickets will be made out in the names that you have
provided (referred to by legal experts as “relative obligation to perform
at a fixed point in time”). Any violation of your obligation to provide
the different names will mean that MCT will have to expend considerable
additional amounts of time, effort and money in retroactively processing
re-personalization requests and will cause conflicts during admission to
the event. Additionally, concert events will be identified as “sold out”
in spite of the fact that MCT has the right to rescind the respective
agreements should you violate your obligation to provide different names,
meaning that these seats will once again become available. Should MCT have
to set an appropriate deadline for you in each case prior to rescinding
the agreement, this would be to the detriment of the other fans and would
enable the unauthorized trade in tickets at excessive prices. For the
event that one and the same name is provided in purchasing several
Tickets, in contravention of the above provision, MCT reserves the right,
for the above reasons, to immediately rescind the agreement without this
requiring any deadline to be set (Section 323 paragraph 2 no. 2 of the
Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)). Moreover, you will be
asked to confirm that you are entitled to personalize the Ticket(s) in the
name of the third person(s). In such cases, the contract shall be
concluded exclusively by yourself with MCT. Any other persons that you may
name will be the sole beneficiaries under this contract and will gain an
independent right to attend the concert event (Sections 328 et seqq. of
the German Civil Code).
8.2 The right to attend the concert event is the result solely of the
contract you have concluded with MCT (section 2.2 hereof). Moreover, your
name will have to be noted on the Ticket. As a result of the contract you
have concluded with MCT, third parties for whom you have acquired a
personalized Ticket are likewise entitled to attend the concert event. The
names of these third parties must be noted on their Tickets. Moreover, the
right to attend the concert event is enjoyed also by persons who have
acceded to the contract with MCT in accordance with the stipulations of
sectiono 8.4. hereof. The names of these persons must be noted on their
Tickets. An additional pre-requisite for attending the concert event is
that you or the person(s) for whom you have purchased the Ticket, or who
have acceded to the contract with MCT in accordance with the stipulations
of section 8.4 hereof, are able to identify themselves at the admission
ticket checkpoint by submitting a valid passport, personal identity card,
driver’s license, credit card, or EC bank card.
8.3 MCT is not under obligation to demand that the said documents be shown
to it at the admission ticket checkpoints in order to be sure that the
ticket holder is in fact authorized to attend. MCT will be free from its
performance obligations vis-à-vis its contractual partner if another
person has obtained access to the concert event by presenting a Ticket.
Only one person is authorized to attend the concert event per Ticket.
8.4 You may transfer your rights and obligations under the contract with
MCT (and thus also the right to demand access to the concert event) to a
third party only by that third party acceding in your stead to the
contract with MCT, and such third party accepting all of your rights and
obligations. This accession to the contract requires the consent of MCT,
which is hereby granted in advance, subject to the restrictions set out
hereinbelow in section 8.5.
8.5 For reasons of fairness and to prevent Tickets from being resold at
excessive prices, thus also preventing any negative impacts on MCT’s
reputation as concert event organizer, MCT will not grant its consent to a
third party acceding to the contract with it as provided for in section
8.4 in the following cases:
(a) Where Tickets are forwarded or sold, or acquired for a third party,
without the express prior consent of MCT, if this is done in the context
of commercial or business activities;
(b) Where Tickets are offered for sale in the context of internet auctions
not authorized by MCT;
(c) Where Tickets are sold at a price that is higher than the Ticket
Purchase Price (section 2.2) plus any expenditures that the seller may
have incurred as a result of the acquisition or resale of the tickets (as
a maximum, however, 15% of the Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2);
(d) Where Tickets are sold with the intent of making a profit, or where
they are acquired on behalf of a third party in order to obtain a profit
by the brokerage activity;
(e) Where Tickets are transferred or sold for advertisement or marketing
purposes, as a bonus, as a promotional gift or a prize, or as part of any
hospitality or travel package not authorized by MCT; or
(f) In the event of any sale of Tickets without any reference being made
to the present GTC, in particular section 8.4 and the present section
8.5.. In such events, offering the Tickets and forwarding and/or reselling
them is prohibited. Likewise, the sale of the Tickets in front of the
concert event venue is prohibited.
8.6 In the event of any breach, section 10 shall additionally apply.
9. TRANSFER AND RE-PERSONALIZATION OF PERSONALIZED TICKETS
9.1 Subject to the stipulations of section 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, in other
words subject to the pre-requisite that the third party accedes to the
contract with MCT including the present GTC and that MCT has consented to
this being done, you are entitled to transfer the personalized Ticket you
have purchased, in other words the entitlement to attend the concert
event, to a third party. Following this transfer (Section 398 of the
Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)), the Ticket must be
re-personalized to the new holder of the entitlement to attend the concert
event.
9.2 In addition to so transferring and re-personalizing the Ticket, you
have the option of selling your personalized Ticket via the Ticket
Exchange operated by smart tickets.de Gesellschaft für Vertriebslösungen
mbH where you purchased the Tickets using the system operated by smart
tickets (cf. Clause 8 of the General Terms and Conditions of smart
tickets.de). The fact that the Ticket was created using the smart
tickets.de Gesellschaft für Vertriebslösungen mbH system is reflected on
the Ticket by its being printed with the smart tickets.de logo on the
upper right-hand corner.
9.3 In re-personalizing a Ticket pursuant to section 9.1, you must know
the name of the person for whom you wish to re-personalize the Ticket.
9.4 The re-personalization of the Ticket is performed by the distribution
partner from whom you acquired your Ticket (section 2.1).
9.5 In order to ensure that re-personalizations are performed exclusively
by the parties authorized to do so, you will have to identify yourself to
the distribution partner with an official identification document that can
be copied (not a personal identity card) reflecting the identity of the
Ticket holder (such as the health insurance identification card or a
driver’s license). Based on the identification document, our distribution
partner will check whether the name of the purchaser set out in the Ticket
corresponds to the name on the identification document. Your data will not
be used for any other purpose than to establish that the person wishing a
re-personalization of the Online Ticket is in fact identical with its
purchaser.
9.6 Should you wish to re-personalize a Ticket that you have purchased for
another person (section 8.1), you will be asked by our distribution
partner to submit an identification document (not the personal identity
card or passport) of that person reflecting the identity of the holder of
the Ticket (such as the health insurance identification card or a driver’s
license). Based on the identification document, our distribution partner
will check whether the name of the person set out in the Ticket, for whom
you have purchased the Ticket, corresponds to the name on the
identification document. By making available the identification document,
you declare that you are entitled to re-personalize the Ticket for the
person for whom you have purchased it and to make available for that
person an official identification document that can be copied (not a
personal identity card or passport). The data will not be used for any
other purposes than to establish that the name set out on the Ticket is
identical to that on the identification document.
9.7 Once the Ticket has been re-personalized, the Ticket originally issued
will be disabled. It will no longer enable its holder to access the
concert event.
9.8 For each re-personalization, our distribution partner will charge a
processing fee, of which you will be notified prior to said
re-pesonalization.
9.9 Tickets can be re-personalized until, at the latest, six (6) hours
prior to the start of admission to the concert event booked.
10. DISABLING PERSONALIZED TICKETS
10.1 In the event of a violation of the prohibitions set out in section
6.1 or 8.5, MCT shall be entitled to disable the Tickets concerned,
against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price (not including the
advance booking charge and the system charge, section 2.2) and to refuse
access to the concert event to the respective holder of the Ticket.
10.2 In the event of repeated prohibitions set out hereinabove in section
6.1 or 8.5, MCT shall be entitled to disable the Tickets without any
compensation, in other words without reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase
Price paid.
10.3 The distribution partner from whom you purchased the Ticket may also
disable tickets on behalf of MCT. Moreover, the general terms and
conditions of said distribution partner may stipulate further reasons
based on which tickets may be disabled.
11. LIABILITY OF MCT
11.1 MCT shall be liable without any restrictions whatsoever for any and
all damages to life, limb or health arising in the context of the
contractual relationship where such damages were caused culpably. The same
shall apply where liability is mandated by the law, in particular
liability pursuant to the Produkthaftungsgesetz (ProdHaftG, German Product
Liability Act), and in the event of guarantees.
11.2 In the event that essential contractual obligations are breached
(so-called “cardinal obligations”), such breaches being based on simple
negligence and not covered by the stipulations of section 11.1 hereof, MCT
shall be held liable to a limited extent, this being the compensation of
the foreseeable damage that is typical for the type of contract concerned.
The cardinal obligations of MCT include those duties the fulfillment of
which is the basis of the due and proper implementation of the contract,
and in the adherence to which you may, as a general rule, trust.
11.3 In all other regards, MCT shall be held liable only for grossly
negligent or intentional violations of its contractual duties.
11.4 To the extent the liability of MCT is excluded or restricted by the
stipulations of the above paragraphs, this shall also apply to the
liability of its statutory representatives and the persons it employs in
the performance of its obligations (Erfüllungsgehilfen).
12. OBLIGATIONS OF CUSTOMERS ATTENDING A CONCERT EVENT
12.1 No hazardous objects such as gas containers, pyrotechnical articles
(such as flares, firecrackers or sparklers), laser pointers, weapons of
any kind or objects that may be used as a projectile – in particular
bottles and cans – may be taken to any concert event.
12.2 No audio recording devices, film, photo or video cameras may be taken
to a concert event, nor may they be operated. This also concerns mobile
radio devices with a photography application. Recordings of any form are
prohibited and any abuse will be prosecuted under law.
12.3 In the event of the stipulations of section 12.2 being violated, MCT
and its employees are entitled to seize the recording equipment and
cameras and to keep them until the end of the concert event, such storage
being liable to payment of a fee. The films and recording material of any
nature on which parts of the concert event have been recorded may be
seized and stored by MCT. They will be returned to the owner provided that
the latter has consented to the recordings being deleted from such
material.
12.4 MCT reserves the right to prohibit persons who have violated the
stipulations of the above paragraphs from entering the concert event, or
to remove them from the concert event.
13. SOUND AND/OR IMAGE RECORDING
In the event that image and/or sound recordings, such as photo/film/TV
and/or audio recordings (hereinafter referred to as "recordings"), are
made during a concert event by MCT and/or the artist(s) and/or third
parties commissioned for this purpose, you agree that you may be recorded
in picture and/or sound and that the recordings may be used exclusively by
MCT and/or the artist(s), spatially, temporally, content-wise unlimited,
edited and/or unedited, in whole and/or in part, in physical and
incorporeal form, in all media and formats (e.g. print, social media,
audiovisual media, online etc.) itself and/or via third parties without
any claim to remuneration without any restrictions, in particular
duplicated, distributed, broadcast, made publicly available, etc., made
publicly acces-sible, etc.
14. APPLICABLE LAW, PLACE OF JURISDICTION
14.1 To the extent the customer is not a consumer, solely the laws of the
Federal Republic of Germany shall apply; the UN Sales Convention is
excluded.
14.2 The place of performance and the place of jurisdiction is Berlin if
the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or special
assets governed by public law.
15. FINAL CLAUSES
15.1 By the time at which the contract is concluded, MCT has not concluded
any agreements or made any undertakings, neither orally nor in writing,
besides the present GTC.
15.2 Should individual provisions of this contract be or become null and
void or ineffective, either wholly or in part, this shall not impact the
effectiveness of the other provisions. The stipulations of the law shall
replace those of the General Terms and Conditions that are not
incorporated or ineffective (Section 306 paragraph 2 of the Bürgerliches
Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)). In all other regards, the parties
shall determine an effective provision to take the place of that provision
that is null and void or ineffective, which new provision is to approach
as closely as possible the previous provision’s economic intent, unless an
amending interpretation of the contract takes precedence or is possible.

concerning concert events organized by MCT Agentur GmbH
1. SCOPE, CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
1.1 The present General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as
the "GTC") apply to concert events organized by MCT Agentur GmbH,
Strausberger Platz 2, 10243 Berlin, Managing Director: Scumeck Sabottka,
entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Amtsgericht (Local Court)
of Berlin under the number HRB: 65613 (hereinafter referred to as “we”
or “MCT”), with MCT acting as concert event organizer. They govern the
relationship in place between MCT and the purchasers of tickets
(hereinafter referred to as “you” or the “customer”). The GTC are a
component part of the agreement as to the acquisition of concert tickets
(hereinafter referred to as the “Tickets”). In the event that the
customer uses general terms and conditions of its own that contradict
our GTC set out here, these shall not become a component part of the
agreement unless we have consented to them in writing.
1.2 By purchasing a Ticket, you as our customer will confirm that you
are aware of these GTC and that you have accepted them as being binding
upon yourself. Should you acquire the Ticket(s) online, you will confirm
this by clicking on the button “Ich bestätige außerdem, dass ich die
Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelesen habe und stimme ihnen zu” (“I
furthermore confirm that I have read the General Terms and Conditions of
the event organizer and accept them”).
1.3 Besides the present GTC, the general terms and conditions of the
respective owner of the venue and its site shall apply for the
respective venue (including the corresponding house rules). These terms
are included herein by reference.
2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT, TICKET PURCHASE PRICE AND DUE DATE, NO
RIGHT OF REVOCATION, AND EXCLUSION OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX
YEARS
2.1 Tickets may be purchased directly from one of our distribution
partners in advance ticket sale service points, via the internet, or via
ticket hotlines. Our distribution partners broker the sale of the
Tickets on behalf of MCT and for our account. The general terms and
conditions employed by our distribution partners have equal rank with
the present GTC and are likewise to be observed. Where our distribution
partners’ terms deviate from the MCT GTC, the latter shall govern.
2.2 In purchasing Tickets, an agreement as to the attendance of the
concert event is concluded by you as the customer and MCT as the concert
event organizer. MCT as the concert event organizer shall be entitled to
the entirety of the Ticket Purchase Price, which is comprised of the
basic ticket price, the advance booking charge, the charge for mass
transit, the system charge and other fees, in each case including
statutory VAT (hereinafter referred to as the “Ticket Purchase Price”).
The Ticket Purchase Price shall be due for payment immediately upon the
contract having been concluded, unless a different payment deadline is
provided to you in the course of the order process.
2.3 Our distribution partner may charge additional fees on its own
behalf. This will be indicated to you in the course of the order
process.
2.4 Until payment of the Ticket Purchase Price is made in full, the
Tickets shall remain the sole property of MCT and shall not entitle
their bearer to access the concert event.
2.5 The contract as to the attendance of a concert event is a contract
concerning recreational events, regarding which the customer is not
entitled to any right of revocation. Accordingly, you cannot revoke your
declaration of intention regarding the order of tickets for recreational
events.
2.6 The sale of Tickets to children under the age of six (6) years is
hereby ruled out. No Ticket may be purchased for them (also not along
with other Tickets) as third-party beneficiaries. Children under the age
of six (6) years will not be granted access to the concert event, also
not if they are accompanied by a person who is a primary carer or who is
tasked with care guardian obligations.
3. VALIDITY OF THE TICKETS
3.1 Your Ticket will entitle only one person each to attend the concert
event. Upon your leaving of the concert, respectively the validation
(Online Tickets), the Ticket will no longer be valid.
3.2. It is expressly prohibited to use the Ticket in several instances.
4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS DURING THE SARS COV 2 PANDEMIC OR OTHER PANDEMICS
OR EPIDEMICS
4.1 In the event that a concert event is subject to legal or regulatory
requirements or measures to be taken due to containment measures against
the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (hereinafter referred to as the "Corona
Pandemic") or other pandemics or epidemics, the following provisions
shall apply:
4.2 We reserve the right to impose access restrictions to a concert
event. Such access restrictions may include, for example, proof of
vaccination or convalescence, the presentation of a negative test result
or the wearing of masks. These will be announced as far as possible, at
the latest 14 days before the start of the respective concert event. In
case of non-observance of such access restrictions, we are entitled to
exclude the respective visitor from the concert event. In this case,
there is no right to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price.
4.3 Attendance at a concert event is prohibited if the visitor has
contracted SARS-CoV-2, has knowingly had contact with a person who has
tested positive, has typical symptoms of infection with the coronavirus
or is affected by legal or official quarantine measures. In these cases,
there is also no entitlement to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price.
The same applies to infections in the context of other pandemics or
epidemics.
4.4 MCT is entitled to subsequently convert standing room seats into
seats or to allocate the ticket holder different seats in the same
category for the purpose of complying with distance areas or protection
and hygiene requirements prescribed by the authorities or by law. In
such cases, the customer shall not be entitled to any refunds.
4.5 Furthermore, it may occur that MCT has to reduce the number of
visitors originally admitted to a concert event. In such cases, MCT is
entitled to cancel Tickets against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase
Price (with the exception of the advance booking and system charge). MCT
will select the Tickets to be cancelled in a non-discriminatory process.
Claims for damages by the customer do not exist in the aforementioned
cases, unless MCT is at fault.
5. CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF A CONCERT EVENT
5.1 MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a concert event for
reasons of force majeure. Force majeure is any event beyond the control
of a party and for which it is not responsible that wholly or partially
precludes the performance of this Agreement in accordance with the
purpose of this Agreement (attendance at a concert event), makes such
performance substantially more difficult or makes such performance
unreasonable for a party. This includes, but is not limited to,
catastrophic events, acts of terrorism (including the threat, danger or
reasonable suspicion of such acts of terrorism), violent riots
(including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such riots),
war or warlike events, epidemics, pandemics, fire, extreme or
catastrophic weather conditions (such as floods, hurricanes or cyclones)
that pose a threat to the life and limb of the participants in the
concert event, severe weather and/or catastrophe warnings, strikes, as
well as official orders for which the respective party is not
responsible, in particular as a result of the aforementioned events. The
Corona Pandemic is also considered as force majeure. MCT has the right
to cancel or reschedule a concert event if its performance is prohibited
by authorities or law, if a person substantially involved in the concert
event is unable to arrive and/or depart due to entry and/or exit
restrictions, or is unable to attend due to a Covid 19 disease,
suspected disease, or preventive measure.
5.2 In the event that a concert event is cancelled without replacement,
you are entitled to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. You must
assert this claim no later than four (4) weeks after the cancelled
concert event date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim
in due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you
are responsible for proving the existence of those conditions that
justify the non-occurrence. In the event that a concert event is
rescheduled to an alternative date for reasons of force majeure (section
5.1), the Tickets shall remain valid. A revocation of the ticket
purchase and refund of the Ticket Purchase Price as a result of the
rescheduling is not possible, unless it can be proven that you cannot
reasonably be expected to attend the new date, for example because you
have already booked a trip. In the event that the concert event is
rescheduled to an alternative date for other reasons, the claim for
reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price must be asserted by you no
later than midnight on the day before the alternative date. If you are
prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for reasons beyond
your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible for proving the
existence of the conditions that justify the non-occurrence.
5.3 Charges paid (advance booking charge and system charge, section 2.2)
will, except in the case of fault on the part of MCT, not be reimbursed.
Should you rescind the agreement as regards the event, we will set off
our claim to compensation in the amount of the charges against the claim
to reimbursement of the charges paid to us. The reason is that should
you rescind the said agreement, you will be under obligation to
compensate us for the value of the brokerage services that you have
enjoyed by purchasing your Ticket from us via our distribution partner.
The same applies to the system charge for the use of the ticketing
system for issuing your Tickets.
5.4 Should our distribution partner charge additional fees in its own
name (section 2.3), their reimbursement shall be goverened by the
general terms and conditions of our distribution partner.
5.5 You are to contact our distribution partner as regards your claim to
reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price, not including the paid
charges. Unless our distribution partner provides for a different
reimbursement procedure, the reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price,
with the exception of the advance booking fee and the system fee, will
only be made upon presentation of the original Tickets. Should the
Tickets have been lost, it will not be possible to reimburse the Ticket
Purchase Price or to provide you with replacement tickets.
5.6 Your rights to rescind the contract within the scope provided for by
law, or to demand compensation for damages in the event MCT is
responsible for a violation of its obligations, shall remain unaffected
hereby. However, the enforcement of claims to compensation of damages
and/or the reimbursement of expenditures shall be subject to the
liability reservation set out in section 11 hereof.
6. LIMITED TICKET PURCHASE
6.1 For certain concert events, the Ticket purchase per person is
limited to a maximum number of Tickets. The maximum number of Tickets
will be displayed to you during the order process. You may only purchase
this number of Tickets for the concert event, regardless of the number
of purchase processes. It is expressly prohibited that one person, or
several persons who have affiliated themselves with others for the
purpose of commercially trading tickets or selling them as a business,
initiate(s) a greater number of purchasing processes than specified, for
example by providing different e-mail addresses or using different
payment means (particularly by using pre-paid credit cards deployed for
the pur-pose of purchasing a greater number of tickets than is
admissible), or by circumventing this rule in any other way.
6.2 Section 10 applies in the event of a violation of section 6.1.
7. RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUIRING AND TRANSFERRING TICKETS
7.1 For reasons of fairness and to prevent the resale of Tickets at
excessive prices, thus also preventing any negative impacts on MCT’s
reputation as concert event organizer, it is in the interests of MCT to
restrict the acquisition and transfer of Tickets. You hereby enter into
obligation to purchase and use the Tickets solely for private use. In
particular, you are specifically prohibited from:
(a) Transferring or selling Tickets without the prior express approval
of MCT, or acquiring them on behalf of a third party, where this is done
in the context of commercial or business activities;
(b) Offering Tickets for sale in the context of internet auctions not
authorized by MCT;
(c) Selling Tickets to third parties with the intent of making a profit
without having obtained the prior express approval of MCT, or acquiring
them on behalf of a third party in order to obtain a profit by the
brokerage activity;
(d) Transferring and/or selling Tickets for advertisement or marketing
purposes, as a bonus, as a promotional gift or as part of any
hospitality or travel package not authorized by MCT;
(e) Selling Tickets in front of the concert event venue; or
(f) Acquiring Tickets by way of involving, as your representative, a
third party acting on your behalf in a business or commercial capacity,
unless the total fees to be paid to said third party amount to no more
than 15% of the Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2).
7.2 For any instance in which the prohibitions set out in section 7.1
are culpably breached, MCT may demand that you pay a contractual
penalty, the amount of which MCT may determine at its equitable
discretion, and which, in the event of a dispute, may be reviewed before
a court. As a general rule, the amount of the contractual penalty shall
be based on the current offer price or price for the onward sale; as a
minimum, however, it shall be based on the Ticket Purchase Price of the
Tickets offered for sale or transferred in violation of section 7.1
hereof. The maximum contractual penalty shall amount to EUR 7,500.00.
Any further-reaching claims to compensation of damages or demands for
payment of a contractual penalty for any other violations of the present
GTC shall remain unaffected hereby. Any contractual penalty paid shall
be set off against a claim to compensation of damages.
7.3 Where the stipulations of section 7.1(f) have been violated, the
agreement as to the attendance of the concert event will not be
concluded, since any representation is ruled out in this case. In such
event, you will be reimbursed for the Ticket Purchase Price (section
2.2) already paid, to the exception of the advance booking charge and
the system charge. Any Ticket already issued will be disabled by
ourselves or by our distribution partners and will thus lose its
validity.
8. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF PERSONALIZED TICKETS
8.1 For certain concert events, the Tickets are personalized, in other
words, only that person has the right to demand access to the concert
event that holds visiting rights. That person’s name will be printed on
the Ticket as a component part of the Ticket. These concert events will
be marked with a corresponding notice regarding the personalization of
the Ticket, or notice of this fact will be given when the Ticket is
purchased. You enter into obligation to acquire the Tickets exclusively
for your private use and to use them exclusively on a private basis.
Section 7.1 shall apply. The first name and last name you provide will
be noted on the Ticket. Should the option be available to purchase
several personalized Tickets, you will be asked, when you make the
purchase, to provide the first name(s) and last name(s) and the e-mail
address(es) of the other person(s) to whom the personalized Ticket(s) is
/ are to be issued; you are under obligation to provide this information
truthfully immediately in making the purchase. The legal transaction
will come about or fail upon the immediate and truthful provision of the
various names of Ticket holders at the purchase, in due time, since
immediately following the purchase process, the Tickets will be made out
in the names that you have provided (referred to by legal experts as
“relative obligation to perform at a fixed point in time”). Any
violation of your obligation to provide the different names will mean
that MCT will have to expend considerable additional amounts of time,
effort and money in retroactively processing re-personalization requests
and will cause conflicts during admission to the event. Additionally,
concert events will be identified as “sold out” in spite of the fact
that MCT has the right to rescind the respective agreements should you
violate your obligation to provide different names, meaning that these
seats will once again become available. Should MCT have to set an
appropriate deadline for you in each case prior to rescinding the
agreement, this would be to the detriment of the other fans and would
enable the unauthorized trade in tickets at excessive prices. For the
event that one and the same name is provided in purchasing several
Tickets, in contravention of the above provision, MCT reserves the
right, for the above reasons, to immediately rescind the agreement
without this requiring any deadline to be set (Section 323 paragraph 2
no. 2 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)).
Moreover, you will be asked to confirm that you are entitled to
personalize the Ticket(s) in the name of the third person(s). In such
cases, the contract shall be concluded exclusively by yourself with MCT.
Any other persons that you may name will be the sole beneficiaries under
this contract and will gain an independent right to attend the concert
event (Sections 328 et seqq. of the German Civil Code).
8.2 The right to attend the concert event is the result solely of the
contract you have concluded with MCT (section 2.2 hereof). Moreover,
your name will have to be noted on the Ticket. As a result of the
contract you have concluded with MCT, third parties for whom you have
acquired a personalized Ticket are likewise entitled to attend the
concert event. The names of these third parties must be noted on their
Tickets. Moreover, the right to attend the concert event is enjoyed also
by persons who have acceded to the contract with MCT in accordance with
the stipulations of sectiono 8.4. hereof. The names of these persons
must be noted on their Tickets. An additional pre-requisite for
attending the concert event is that you or the person(s) for whom you
have purchased the Ticket, or who have acceded to the contract with MCT
in accordance with the stipulations of section 8.4 hereof, are able to
identify themselves at the admission ticket checkpoint by submitting a
valid passport, personal identity card, driver’s license, credit card,
or EC bank card.
8.3 MCT is not under obligation to demand that the said documents be
shown to it at the admission ticket checkpoints in order to be sure that
the ticket holder is in fact authorized to attend. MCT will be free from
its performance obligations vis-à-vis its contractual partner if another
person has obtained access to the concert event by presenting a Ticket.
Only one person is authorized to attend the concert event per Ticket.
8.4 You may transfer your rights and obligations under the contract with
MCT (and thus also the right to demand access to the concert event) to a
third party only by that third party acceding in your stead to the
contract with MCT, and such third party accepting all of your rights and
obligations. This accession to the contract requires the consent of MCT,
which is hereby granted in advance, subject to the restrictions set out
hereinbelow in section 8.5.
8.5 For reasons of fairness and to prevent Tickets from being resold at
excessive prices, thus also preventing any negative impacts on MCT’s
reputation as concert event organizer, MCT will not grant its consent to
a third party acceding to the contract with it as provided for in
section 8.4 in the following cases:
(a) Where Tickets are forwarded or sold, or acquired for a third party,
without the express prior consent of MCT, if this is done in the context
of commercial or business activities;
(b) Where Tickets are offered for sale in the context of internet
auctions not authorized by MCT;
(c) Where Tickets are sold at a price that is higher than the Ticket
Purchase Price (section 2.2) plus any expenditures that the seller may
have incurred as a result of the acquisition or resale of the tickets
(as a maximum, however, 15% of the Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2);
(d) Where Tickets are sold with the intent of making a profit, or where
they are acquired on behalf of a third party in order to obtain a profit
by the brokerage activity;
(e) Where Tickets are transferred or sold for advertisement or marketing
purposes, as a bonus, as a promotional gift or a prize, or as part of
any hospitality or travel package not authorized by MCT; or
(f) In the event of any sale of Tickets without any reference being made
to the present GTC, in particular section 8.4 and the present section
8.5.. In such events, offering the Tickets and forwarding and/or
reselling them is prohibited. Likewise, the sale of the Tickets in front
of the concert event venue is prohibited.
8.6 In the event of any breach, section 10 shall additionally apply.
9. TRANSFER AND RE-PERSONALIZATION OF PERSONALIZED TICKETS
9.1 Subject to the stipulations of section 8.4 and 8.5 hereof, in other
words subject to the pre-requisite that the third party accedes to the
contract with MCT including the present GTC and that MCT has consented
to this being done, you are entitled to transfer the personalized Ticket
you have purchased, in other words the entitlement to attend the concert
event, to a third party. Following this transfer (Section 398 of the
Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)), the Ticket must be
re-personalized to the new holder of the entitlement to attend the
concert event.
9.2 In addition to so transferring and re-personalizing the Ticket, you
have the option of selling your personalized Ticket via the Ticket
Exchange operated by smart tickets.de Gesellschaft für Vertriebslösungen
mbH where you purchased the Tickets using the system operated by smart
tickets (cf. Clause 8 of the General Terms and Conditions of smart
tickets.de). The fact that the Ticket was created using the smart
tickets.de Gesellschaft für Vertriebslösungen mbH system is reflected on
the Ticket by its being printed with the smart tickets.de logo on the
upper right-hand corner.
9.3 In re-personalizing a Ticket pursuant to section 9.1, you must know
the name of the person for whom you wish to re-personalize the Ticket.
9.4 The re-personalization of the Ticket is performed by the
distribution partner from whom you acquired your Ticket (section 2.1).
9.5 In order to ensure that re-personalizations are performed
exclusively by the parties authorized to do so, you will have to
identify yourself to the distribution partner with an official
identification document that can be copied (not a personal identity
card) reflecting the identity of the Ticket holder (such as the health
insurance identification card or a driver’s license). Based on the
identification document, our distribution partner will check whether the
name of the purchaser set out in the Ticket corresponds to the name on
the identification document. Your data will not be used for any other
purpose than to establish that the person wishing a re-personalization
of the Online Ticket is in fact identical with its purchaser.
9.6 Should you wish to re-personalize a Ticket that you have purchased
for another person (section 8.1), you will be asked by our distribution
partner to submit an identification document (not the personal identity
card or passport) of that person reflecting the identity of the holder
of the Ticket (such as the health insurance identification card or a
driver’s license). Based on the identification document, our
distribution partner will check whether the name of the person set out
in the Ticket, for whom you have purchased the Ticket, corresponds to
the name on the identification document. By making available the
identification document, you declare that you are entitled to
re-personalize the Ticket for the person for whom you have purchased it
and to make available for that person an official identification
document that can be copied (not a personal identity card or passport).
The data will not be used for any other purposes than to establish that
the name set out on the Ticket is identical to that on the
identification document.
9.7 Once the Ticket has been re-personalized, the Ticket originally
issued will be disabled. It will no longer enable its holder to access
the concert event.
9.8 For each re-personalization, our distribution partner will charge a
processing fee, of which you will be notified prior to said
re-pesonalization.
9.9 Tickets can be re-personalized until, at the latest, six (6) hours
prior to the start of admission to the concert event booked.
10. DISABLING PERSONALIZED TICKETS
10.1 In the event of a violation of the prohibitions set out in section
6.1 or 8.5, MCT shall be entitled to disable the Tickets concerned,
against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price (not including the
advance booking charge and the system charge, section 2.2) and to refuse
access to the concert event to the respective holder of the Ticket.
10.2 In the event of repeated prohibitions set out hereinabove in
section 6.1 or 8.5, MCT shall be entitled to disable the Tickets without
any compensation, in other words without reimbursement of the Ticket
Purchase Price paid.
10.3 The distribution partner from whom you purchased the Ticket may
also disable tickets on behalf of MCT. Moreover, the general terms and
conditions of said distribution partner may stipulate further reasons
based on which tickets may be disabled.
11. LIABILITY OF MCT
11.1 MCT shall be liable without any restrictions whatsoever for any and
all damages to life, limb or health arising in the context of the
contractual relationship where such damages were caused culpably. The
same shall apply where liability is mandated by the law, in particular
liability pursuant to the Produkthaftungsgesetz (ProdHaftG, German
Product Liability Act), and in the event of guarantees.
11.2 In the event that essential contractual obligations are breached
(so-called “cardinal obligations”), such breaches being based on simple
negligence and not covered by the stipulations of section 11.1 hereof,
MCT shall be held liable to a limited extent, this being the
compensation of the foreseeable damage that is typical for the type of
contract concerned. The cardinal obligations of MCT include those duties
the fulfillment of which is the basis of the due and proper
implementation of the contract, and in the adherence to which you may,
as a general rule, trust.
11.3 In all other regards, MCT shall be held liable only for grossly
negligent or intentional violations of its contractual duties.
11.4 To the extent the liability of MCT is excluded or restricted by the
stipulations of the above paragraphs, this shall also apply to the
liability of its statutory representatives and the persons it employs in
the performance of its obligations (Erfüllungsgehilfen).
12. OBLIGATIONS OF CUSTOMERS ATTENDING A CONCERT EVENT

(such as flares, firecrackers or sparklers), laser pointers, weapons of
any kind or objects that may be used as a projectile – in particular
bottles and cans – may be taken to any concert event.
12.2 No audio recording devices, film, photo or video cameras may be
taken to a concert event, nor may they be operated. This also concerns
mobile radio devices with a photography application. Recordings of any
form are prohibited and any abuse will be prosecuted under law.
12.3 In the event of the stipulations of section 12.2 being violated,
MCT and its employees are entitled to seize the recording equipment and

material of any nature on which parts of the concert event have been
recorded may be seized and stored by MCT. They will be returned to the
owner provided that the latter has consented to the recordings being
deleted from such material.
12.4 MCT reserves the right to prohibit persons who have violated the
stipulations of the above paragraphs from entering the concert event, or
to remove them from the concert event.
13. SOUND AND/OR IMAGE RECORDING
In the event that image and/or sound recordings, such as photo/film/TV
and/or audio recordings (hereinafter referred to as "recordings"), are
made during a concert event by MCT and/or the artist(s) and/or third
parties commissioned for this purpose, you agree that you may be
recorded in picture and/or sound and that the recordings may be used
exclusively by MCT and/or the artist(s), spatially, temporally,
content-wise unlimited, edited and/or unedited, in whole and/or in part,
in physical and incorporeal form, in all media and formats (e.g. print,
social media, audiovisual media, online etc.) itself and/or via third
parties without any claim to remuneration without any restrictions, in
particular duplicated, distributed, broadcast, made publicly available,
etc., made publicly acces-sible, etc.
14. APPLICABLE LAW, PLACE OF JURISDICTION
14.1 To the extent the customer is not a consumer, solely the laws of
the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply; the UN Sales Convention is
excluded.
14.2 The place of performance and the place of jurisdiction is Berlin if
the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or special
assets governed by public law.
15. FINAL CLAUSES
15.1 By the time at which the contract is concluded, MCT has not
concluded any agreements or made any undertakings, neither orally nor in
writing, besides the present GTC.
15.2 Should individual provisions of this contract be or become null and
void or ineffective, either wholly or in part, this shall not impact the
effectiveness of the other provisions. The stipulations of the law shall
replace those of the General Terms and Conditions that are not
incorporated or ineffective (Section 306 paragraph 2 of the Bürgerliches
Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)). In all other regards, the parties
shall determine an effective provision to take the place of that
provision that is null and void or ineffective, which new provision is
to approach as closely as possible the previous provision’s economic
intent, unless an amending interpretation of the contract takes
precedence or is possible.

concerning the Rammstein concerts 2023 organized by MCT Agentur GmbH
1. SCOPE, CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
1.1. The present General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "GTC") apply to the Rammstein concerts 2023 (hereinafter individually referred to as "Concert" and together as "Concerts") organized by MCT Agentur GmbH, Strausberger Platz 2, 10243 Berlin, Managing Director: Scumeck Sabottka, entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Amtsgericht (Local Court) of Berlin under the number HRB: 65613 (hereinafter referred to as “we” or “MCT”), with MCT acting as concert event organizer. They govern the relationship in place between MCT and the purchaser of tickets (hereinafter referred to as “you” or the “customer”). The GTC are a component of the agreement as to the acquisition of concert tickets (hereinafter referred to as the “Tickets”). In the event that the customer uses general terms and conditions of its own that contradict our GTC set out here, these shall not become a component part of the agreement unless we have consented to them in writing.
1.2. By purchasing a Ticket, you as our customer will confirm that you are aware of these GTC and that you have accepted them as being binding upon yourself. Should you acquire the Ticket(s) online, you will confirm this by clicking on the button “Ich bestätige außerdem, dass ich die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelesen habe und stimme ihnen zu” (“I furthermore confirm that I have read the General Terms and Conditions of the event organizer and accept them”).
1.3. Besides the present GTC, the general terms and conditions of the respective owner of the venue and its site shall apply for the respective venue (including the corresponding house rules). These terms are included herein by reference.
2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT, TICKET PURCHASE PRICE AND DUE DATE, NO RIGHT OF REVOCATION, AND EXCLUSION OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX YEARS
2.1 Tickets may be purchased directly from our distribution partner CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA (hereinafter referred to as "CTS") via the internet. CTS brokers the sale of the Tickets on behalf of MCT and for our account. The general terms and conditions employed by CTS have equal rank with the present GTC and are likewise to be observed. Where CTS’ terms deviate from the MCT GTC, the latter shall govern.
2.2 In purchasing Tickets, an agreement as to the attendance of the Concert is concluded by you as the customer and MCT as the concert event organizer. MCT as the concert event organizer shall be entitled to the entirety of the Ticket Purchase Price, which is comprised of the basic ticket price, the advance booking charge, the charge for mass transit, the system charge and other fees, in each case including statutory VAT (hereinafter referred to as the “Ticket Purchase Price”). The Ticket Purchase Price shall be due for payment immediately upon the contract having been concluded, unless a different payment deadline is provided to you in the course of the order process.
2.3 CTS may charge additional fees on its own behalf. This will be indicated to you in the course of the order process.
2.4 Until payment of the Ticket Purchase Price is made in full, the Tickets shall remain the sole property of MCT and shall not entitle their bearer to access the Concert.
2.5 The contract as to the attendance of a concert is a contract concerning recreational events, regarding which the customer is not entitled to any right of revocation. Accordingly, you cannot revoke your declaration of intention regarding the order of tickets for recreational events.
2.6 The sale of Tickets to children under the age of six (6) years is hereby ruled out. No Ticket may be purchased for them (also not along with other Tickets) as third-party beneficiaries. Children under the age of six (6) years will not be granted access to the Concert(s), also not if they are accompanied by a person who is a primary carer or who is tasked with care guardian obligations.
3. VALIDITY OF THE TICKETS
3.1 Your Ticket will entitle only one person each to attend the Concert. Upon your leaving of the Concert, respectively the validation (Online Tickets), the Ticket will no longer be valid.
3.2. It is expressly prohibited to use the Ticket in several instances.
4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS DURING THE SARS COV 2 PANDEMIC OR OTHER PANDEMICS OR EPIDEMICS
4.1 In the event that a Concert or Concerts are subject to legal or regulatory requirements or measures to be taken due to containment measures against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (hereinafter referred to as the "Corona Pandemic") or other pandemics or epidemics, the following provisions shall apply:
4.2 We reserve the right to impose access restrictions to the Concert or Concerts. Such access restrictions may include, for example, proof of vaccination or convalescence, the presentation of a negative test result or the wearing of masks. These will be announced as far as possible, at the latest 14 days before the start of the respective Concert. In case of non-observance of such access restrictions, we are entitled to exclude the respective visitor from the Concert. In this case, there is no right to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price.
4.3 Attendance at a Concert is prohibited if the visitor has contracted SARS-CoV-2, has knowingly had contact with a person who has tested positive, has typical symptoms of infection with the coronavirus or is affected by legal or official quarantine measures. In these cases, there is also no entitlement to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. The same applies to infections in the context of other pandemics or epidemics.
4.4 MCT is entitled to subsequently convert standing room seats into seats or to allocate the ticket holder different seats in the same category for the purpose of complying with distance areas or protection and hygiene requirements prescribed by the authorities or by law. In such cases, the customer shall not be entitled to any refunds.
4.5 Furthermore, it may occur that MCT has to reduce the number of visitors originally admitted to a Concert. In such cases, MCT is entitled to cancel Tickets against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price (with the exception of the advance booking and system charge). MCT will select the Tickets to be cancelled in a non-discriminatory process. Claims for damages by the customer do not exist in the aforementioned cases, unless MCT is at fault.
5. CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF A CONCERT OR THE CONCERTS
5.1 MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a Concert or the Concerts for reasons of force majeure. Force majeure is any event beyond the control of a party and for which it is not responsible that wholly or partially precludes the performance of this Agreement in accordance with the purpose of this Agreement (attendance at the Concert), makes such performance substantially more difficult or makes such performance unreasonable for a party. This includes, but is not limited to, catastrophic events, acts of terrorism (including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such acts of terrorism), violent riots (including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such riots), war or warlike events, epidemics, pandemics, fire, extreme or catastrophic weather conditions, or any other events that may affect the performance of this contract. catastrophic weather conditions (such as floods, hurricanes or cyclones) that pose a threat to the life and limb of the participants in the Concert or Concerts, severe weather and/or catastrophe warnings, strikes, as well as official orders for which the respective party is not responsible, in particular as a result of the aforementioned events.
The Corona Pandemic is also considered as force majeure. MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a Concert or the Concerts if the performance of a Concert or Concerts is prohibited by authorities or law, if a person substantially involved in the Concert or Concerts is unable to arrive and/or depart due to entry and/or exit restrictions, or is unable to attend due to a Covid 19 disease, suspected disease, or preventive measure.
5.2 In the event that a Concert or Concerts are cancelled without replacement, you are en-titled to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. You must assert this claim no later than four (4) weeks after the cancelled concert date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible for proving the existence of those conditions that justify the non-occurrence.
In the event that a Concert or Concerts are rescheduled to an alternative date for reasons of force majeure (section 5.1), the Tickets shall remain valid. A revocation of the ticket purchase and refund of the Ticket Purchase Price as a result of the rescheduling is not possible, unless it can be proven that you cannot reasonably be expected to attend the new date, for example because you have already booked a trip. In the event that the Concert(s) is/are rescheduled to an alternative date for other reasons, the claim for reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price must be asserted by you no later than midnight on the day before the alternative date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible for proving the existence of the conditions that justify the non-occurrence.
5.3 Charges paid (advance booking charge and system charge, section 2.2.) will, except in the case of fault on the part of MCT, not be reimbursed. Should you rescind the agree-ment as regards the event, we will set off our claim to compensation in the amount of the charges against the claim to reimbursement of the charges paid to us. The reason is that should you rescind the said agreement, you will be under obligation to compensate us for the value of the brokerage services that you have enjoyed by purchasing your Ticket from us via our distribution partner CTS. The same applies to the system charge for the use of the ticketing system for issuing your tickets.
5.4 Should CTS charge additional fees in its own name (section 2.3), their reimbursement shall be goverened by the general terms and conditions of CTS.
5.5 You are to contact our distribution partner CTS as regards your claim to reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price, not including the paid charges. Unless CTS has a different reimbursement procedure in place, the Ticket Purchase Price shall be reimbursed only upon the original Tickets being submitted. Should the Tickets have been lost, it will not be possible to reimburse the Ticket Purchase Price or to provide you with replacement tickets.
5.6 Your rights to rescind the contract within the scope provided for by law, or to demand compensation for damages in the event MCT is responsible for a violation of its obligations, shall remain unaffected hereby. However, the enforcement of claims to compensation of damages and/or the reimbursement of expenditures shall be subject to the liability reservation set out in section 10 hereof.
6. LIMITED TICKET PURCHASE
6.1 For each Concert, the Ticket purchase per person is limited to a maximum number of Tickets. The maximum number of Tickets will be displayed to you during the order process. You may only purchase this number of Tickets for a Concert, regardless of the number of purchase processes. It is expressly prohibited that one person, or several persons who have affiliated themselves with others for the purpose of commercially trading tickets or selling them as a business, initiate(s) a greater number of purchasing processes than specified, for example by providing different e-mail addresses or using different payment means (particularly by using pre-paid credit cards deployed for the pur-pose of purchasing a greater number of tickets than is admissible), or by circumventing this rule in any other way.
6.2 Section 9 applies in the event of a violation of section 6.1.
7. PERSONALIZED TICKETS AND PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER OF TICKETS
7.1 All Tickets for the Concerts are personalized, in other words, only that person has the right to demand access to the Concert that holds visiting rights. That person's name will be printed on the Ticket as component part of the Ticket.
7.2 The first name and last name you provide will be noted on the Ticket. Should the option be available to purchase several personalized Tickets, you will be asked, when you make the purchase, to provide the first name(s) and last name(s) of the other person(s) to whom the personalized Ticket(s) is / are to be issued. You are under obligation to provide this information truthfully immediately in making the purchase. The legal transaction will come about or fail upon the immediate and truthful provision of the various names of Ticket holders at the purchase, in due time, since immediately following the purchase process, the Tickets will be made out in the names that you have provided (referred to by legal experts as “relative obligation to perform at a fixed point in time”). Any violation of your obligation to provide the different names will mean that we will have to expend considerable additional amounts of time, effort and money in retroactively processing re-personalization requests and will cause conflicts during admission to the event. Additionally, concerts will be identified as “sold out” in spite of the fact that we have the right to rescind the respective agreements should you violate your obligation to provide different names, meaning that these seats will once again become available. Should MCT have to set an appropriate deadline for you in each case prior to rescinding the agreement, this would be to the detriment of the other fans and would enable the unauthorized trade in tickets at inflated prices. For the event that one and the same name is provided in purchasing several Tickets, in contravention of the above provision, we reserve the right, for the above reasons, to immediately rescind the agreement without this requiring any deadline to be set (Section 323 paragraph 2 no. 2 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)). Moreover, you will be asked to confirm that you are entitled to personalize the ticket(s) in the name of the third person(s). In such cases, the contract shall be concluded exclusively by yourself with us. Any other persons that you may name will be the sole beneficiaries under this contract and will gain an independent right to attend the Concert (Sections 328 et seqq. of the German Civil Code).
7.3 The right to attend a Concert is the result solely of the contract you have concluded with us (section 2.2). Moreover, your name will have to be noted on the Ticket. As a result of the contract you have concluded with us, third parties for whom you have acquired a personalized Ticket are, in accordance with these GTCs, likewise entitled to attend the Concert. The names of these third parties must be noted on their Tickets. An additional prerequisite for attending the Concert is that you or the person(s) for whom you have purchased the Ticket is/are able to identify himself/themselves at the admission ticket checkpoint by submitting a valid passport, personal identity card, driver’s license, credit card, or EC bank card.
7.4 We are not under obligation to demand that the said documents are shown at the admission ticket checkpoints in order to be sure that the ticket holder is in fact authorized to attend. MCT will be free from its performance obligations vis-à-vis its contractual partner if another person has obtained access to the Concert by presenting a Ticket. Only one person is authorized to attend the Concert per Ticket.
7.5 You hereby enter into obligation to purchase and use the Tickets solely for private use. Any transfer of the Tickets is prohibited. Specifically this includes selling the Tickets to third parties, or offering the Tickets for sale in the context of internet auctions or not authorized ticket exchanges. You may not transfer your rights and obligations under the contract with MCT (and thus also the right to demand access to the Concert) to a third party. If you do not wish to/cannot use the Ticket, it is possible to return the Ticket(s) under the conditions set out in section 8. This shall not affect the possibility of returning the Ticket if the event is postponed or cancelled pursuant to section 5.
8. RETURNING TICKETS
8.1 Return of Tickets purchased on the ticket platform "Fansale" operated by CTS

- the original Ticket which becomes available is returned,
- an original, official document is provided confirming the identity of the Ticket holder,
- there is a purchaser on-site who can prove his/her identity with a valid passport, personal identity card, driving licence, credit card or EC card so that the new ticket can be issued to such purchaser,
- the purchaser confirms acceptance of these GTC, and
- the Purchaser pays a fee of EUR 10.00.
8.2.3 If the conditions set out in section 8.2.2 sentence 2 are fulfilled, we accept your return of the Ticket and the original Ticket is no longer valid and may not be used for entry. Only the new ticket issued to the purchaser may be used for entry (section 7.3). In this case, there is no claim for reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price for the ticket that becomes available against us, but only against the purchaser. The original Ticket Holder is free to have a maximum amount equal to Ticket Purchase Price (section 2.2) plus the system charge, or a lower price, reimbursed by the Purchaser.

10. LIABILTY OF MCT
10.1 MCT shall be liable without any restrictions whatsoever for any and all damages to life, limb or health arising in the context of the contractual relationship where such damages were caused culpably. The same shall apply where liability is mandated by the law, in particular liability pursuant to the Produkthaftungsgesetz (ProdHaftG, German Product Liability Act), and in the event of guarantees.
10.2 In the event that essential contractual obligations are breached (so-called “cardinal obligations”), such breaches being based on simple negligence and not covered by the stipulations of section 10.1 hereof, MCT shall be held liable to a limited extent, this being the compensation of the foreseeable damage that is typical for the type of contract concerned. The cardinal obligations of MCT include those duties the fulfillment of which is the basis of the due and proper implementation of the contract, and in the adherence to which you may, as a general rule, trust.
10.3 In all other regards, MCT shall be held liable only for grossly negligent or intentional violations of its contractual duties.

concerning the Björk concerts 2023 organized by MCT Agentur GmbH
1. SCOPE, CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS
1.1 The present General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as the "GTC") apply to the Björk concerts 2023 (hereinafter individually referred to as "Concert" and together as "Concerts") organized by MCT Agentur GmbH, Strausberger Platz 2, 10243 Berlin, Managing Director: Scumeck Sabottka, entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Amtsgericht (Local Court) of Berlin under the number HRB: 65613 (hereinafter referred to as “we” or “MCT”), with MCT acting as concert event organizer. They govern the rela-tionship in place between MCT and the purchaser of tickets (hereinafter referred to as “you” or the “customer”). The GTC are a component of the agreement as to the acquisition of concert tickets (hereinafter referred to as the “Tickets”). In the event that the customer uses general terms and conditions of its own that contradict our GTC set out here, these shall not become a component part of the agreement unless we have consented to them in writing.
1.2 By purchasing a Ticket, you as our customer will confirm that you are aware of these GTC and that you have accepted them as being binding upon yourself. Should you ac-quire the Ticket(s) online, you will confirm this by clicking on the button “Ich bestätige außerdem, dass ich die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen gelesen habe und stimme ih-nen zu” (“I furthermore confirm that I have read the General Terms and Conditions of the event organizer and accept them”).
1.3 Besides the present GTC, the general terms and conditions of the respective owner of the venue and its site shall apply for the respective venue (including the corresponding house rules). These terms are included herein by reference.
2. CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT, TICKET PURCHASE PRICE AND DUE DATE, NO RIGHT OF REVOCATION, AND EXCLUSION OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX YEARS
2.1 Tickets may be purchased directly from our distribution partner CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA (hereinafter referred to as "CTS") via the internet. CTS brokers the sale of the Tickets on behalf of MCT and for our account. The general terms and conditions employed by CTS have equal rank with the present GTC and are likewise to be observed. Where CTS’ terms deviate from the MCT GTC, the latter shall govern.
2.2 In purchasing Tickets, an agreement as to the attendance of the Concert is concluded by you as the customer and MCT as the concert event organizer. MCT as the concert event organizer shall be entitled to the entirety of the Ticket Purchase Price, which is comprised of the basic ticket price, the advance booking charge, the charge for mass transit, the system charge and other fees, in each case including statutory VAT (hereinafter referred to as the “Ticket Purchase Price”). The Ticket Purchase Price shall be due for payment immediately upon the contract having been concluded, unless a different payment deadline is provided to you in the course of the order process.
2.3 CTS may charge additional fees on its own behalf. This will be indicated to you in the course of the order process.
2.4 Until payment of the Ticket Purchase Price is made in full, the Tickets shall remain the sole property of MCT and shall not entitle their bearer to access the Concert.
2.5 The contract as to the attendance of a concert is a contract concerning recreational events, regarding which the customer is not entitled to any right of revocation. Accordingly, you cannot revoke your declaration of intention regarding the order of tickets for recreational events.
2.6 The sale of Tickets to children under the age of six (6) years is hereby ruled out. No Ticket may be purchased for them (also not along with other Tickets) as third-party beneficiaries. Children under the age of six (6) years will not be granted access to the Concert(s), also not if they are accompanied by a person who is a primary carer or who is tasked with care guardian obligations.
3. VALIDITY OF THE TICKETS
3.1 Your Ticket will entitle only one person each to attend the Concert. Upon your leaving of the Concert, respectively the validation (Online Tickets), the Ticket will no longer be valid.
3.2. It is expressly prohibited to use the Ticket in several instances.
4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS DURING THE SARS COV 2 PANDEMIC OR OTHER PANDEMICS OR EPIDEMICS
4.1 In the event that a Concert or Concerts are subject to legal or regulatory requirements or measures to be taken due to containment measures against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (hereinafter referred to as the "Corona Pandemic") or other pandemics or epidemics, the following provisions shall apply:
4.2 We reserve the right to impose access restrictions to the Concert or Concerts. Such access restrictions may include, for example, proof of vaccination or convalescence, the presentation of a negative test result or the wearing of masks. These will be announced as far as possible, at the latest 14 days before the start of the respective Concert. In case of non-observance of such access restrictions, we are entitled to exclude the respective visitor from the Concert. In this case, there is no right to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price.
4.3 Attendance at a Concert is prohibited if the visitor has contracted SARS-CoV-2, has knowingly had contact with a person who has tested positive, has typical symptoms of infection with the coronavirus or is affected by legal or official quarantine measures. In these cases, there is also no entitlement to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. The same applies to infections in the context of other pandemics or epidemics.
4.4 MCT is entitled to subsequently convert standing room seats into seats or to allocate the ticket holder different seats in the same category for the purpose of complying with distance areas or protection and hygiene requirements prescribed by the authorities or by law. In such cases, the customer shall not be entitled to any refunds.
4.5 Furthermore, it may occur that MCT has to reduce the number of visitors originally admitted to a Concert. In such cases, MCT is entitled to cancel Tickets against reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price (with the exception of the advance booking and system charge). MCT will select the Tickets to be cancelled in a non-discriminatory process. Claims for damages by the customer do not exist in the aforementioned cases, unless MCT is at fault.
5. CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF A CONCERT OR THE CONCERTS
5.1 MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a Concert or the Concerts for reasons of force majeure. Force majeure is any event beyond the control of a party and for which it is not responsible that wholly or partially precludes the performance of this Agreement in accordance with the purpose of this Agreement (attendance at the Concert), makes such performance substantially more difficult or makes such performance unreasonable for a party. This includes, but is not limited to, catastrophic events, acts of terrorism (including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such acts of terrorism), violent riots (including the threat, danger or reasonable suspicion of such riots), war or warlike events, epidemics, pandemics, fire, extreme or catastrophic weather conditions, or any other events that may affect the performance of this contract. catastrophic weather conditions (such as floods, hurricanes or cyclones) that pose a threat to the life and limb of the participants in the Concert or Concerts, severe weather and/or catastrophe warnings, strikes, as well as official orders for which the respective party is not responsible, in particular as a result of the aforementioned events.
The Corona Pandemic is also considered as force majeure. MCT has the right to cancel or reschedule a Concert or the Concerts if the performance of a Concert or Concerts is prohibited by authorities or law, if a person substantially involved in the Concert or Concerts is unable to arrive and/or depart due to entry and/or exit restrictions, or is unable to attend due to a Covid 19 disease, suspected disease, or preventive measure.
5.2 In the event that a Concert or Concerts are cancelled without replacement, you are en-titled to a refund of the Ticket Purchase Price. You must assert this claim no later than four (4) weeks after the cancelled concert date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible for proving the existence of those conditions that justify the non-occurrence.
In the event that a Concert or Concerts are rescheduled to an alternative date for reasons of force majeure (section 5.1), the Tickets shall remain valid. A revocation of the ticket purchase and refund of the Ticket Purchase Price as a result of the rescheduling is not possible, unless it can be proven that you cannot reasonably be expected to attend the new date, for example because you have already booked a trip. In the event that the Concert(s) is/are rescheduled to an alternative date for other reasons, the claim for reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price must be asserted by you no later than midnight on the day before the alternative date. If you are prevented from asserting the refund claim in due time for reasons beyond your control - e.g. due to illness - you are responsible for proving the existence of the conditions that justify the non-occurrence.
5.3 Charges paid (advance booking charge and system charge, section 2.2.) will, except in the case of fault on the part of MCT, not be reimbursed. Should you rescind the agree-ment as regards the event, we will set off our claim to compensation in the amount of the charges against the claim to reimbursement of the charges paid to us. The reason is that should you rescind the said agreement, you will be under obligation to compensate us for the value of the brokerage services that you have enjoyed by purchasing your Ticket from us via our distribution partner CTS. The same applies to the system charge for the use of the ticketing system for issuing your tickets.
5.4 Should CTS charge additional fees in its own name (section 2.3), their reimbursement shall be goverened by the general terms and conditions of CTS.
5.5 You are to contact our distribution partner CTS as regards your claim to reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price, not including the paid charges. Unless CTS has a different reimbursement procedure in place, the Ticket Purchase Price shall be reimbursed only upon the original Tickets being submitted. Should the Tickets have been lost, it will not be possible to reimburse the Ticket Purchase Price or to provide you with replacement tickets.
5.6 Your rights to rescind the contract within the scope provided for by law, or to demand compensation for damages in the event MCT is responsible for a violation of its obligations, shall remain unaffected hereby. However, the enforcement of claims to compensation of damages and/or the reimbursement of expenditures shall be subject to the liability reservation set out in section 10 hereof.
6. LIMITED TICKET PURCHASE
6.1 For each Concert, the Ticket purchase per person is limited to a maximum number of Tickets. The maximum number of Tickets will be displayed to you during the order process. You may only purchase this number of Tickets for a Concert, regardless of the number of purchase processes. It is expressly prohibited that one person, or several persons who have affiliated themselves with others for the purpose of commercially trading tickets or selling them as a business, initiate(s) a greater number of purchasing processes than specified, for example by providing different e-mail addresses or using different payment means (particularly by using pre-paid credit cards deployed for the pur-pose of purchasing a greater number of tickets than is admissible), or by circumventing this rule in any other way.
6.2 Section 9 applies in the event of a violation of section 6.1.
7. PERSONALIZED TICKETS AND PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER OF TICKETS
7.1 All Tickets for the Concerts are personalized, in other words, only that person has the right to demand access to the Concert that holds visiting rights. That person's name will be printed on the Ticket as component part of the Ticket.
7.2 The first name and last name you provide will be noted on the Ticket. Should the option be available to purchase several personalized Tickets, you will be asked, when you make the purchase, to provide the first name(s) and last name(s) of the other person(s) to whom the personalized Ticket(s) is / are to be issued. You are under obligation to provide this information truthfully immediately in making the purchase. The legal transaction will come about or fail upon the immediate and truthful provision of the various names of Ticket holders at the purchase, in due time, since immediately following the purchase process, the Tickets will be made out in the names that you have provided (referred to by legal experts as “relative obligation to perform at a fixed point in time”). Any violation of your obligation to provide the different names will mean that we will have to expend considerable additional amounts of time, effort and money in retroactively processing re-personalization requests and will cause conflicts during admission to the event. Additionally, concerts will be identified as “sold out” in spite of the fact that we have the right to rescind the respective agreements should you violate your obligation to provide different names, meaning that these seats will once again become available. Should MCT have to set an appropriate deadline for you in each case prior to rescinding the agreement, this would be to the detriment of the other fans and would enable the unauthorized trade in tickets at inflated prices. For the event that one and the same name is provided in purchasing several Tickets, in contravention of the above provision, we reserve the right, for the above reasons, to immediately rescind the agreement without this requiring any deadline to be set (Section 323 paragraph 2 no. 2 of the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB, German Civil Code)). Moreover, you will be asked to confirm that you are entitled to personalize the ticket(s) in the name of the third person(s). In such cases, the contract shall be concluded exclusively by yourself with us. Any other persons that you may name will be the sole beneficiaries under this contract and will gain an independent right to attend the Concert (Sections 328 et seqq. of the German Civil Code).
7.3 The right to attend a Concert is the result solely of the contract you have concluded with us (section 2.2). Moreover, your name will have to be noted on the Ticket. As a result of the contract you have concluded with us, third parties for whom you have acquired a personalized Ticket are, in accordance with these GTCs, likewise entitled to attend the Concert. The names of these third parties must be noted on their Tickets. An additional prerequisite for attending the Concert is that you or the person(s) for whom you have purchased the Ticket is/are able to identify himself/themselves at the admission ticket checkpoint by submitting a valid passport, personal identity card, driver’s license, credit card, or EC bank card.
7.4 We are not under obligation to demand that the said documents are shown at the admission ticket checkpoints in order to be sure that the ticket holder is in fact authorized to attend. MCT will be free from its performance obligations vis-à-vis its contractual partner if another person has obtained access to the Concert by presenting a Ticket. Only one person is authorized to attend the Concert per Ticket.
7.5 You hereby enter into obligation to purchase and use the Tickets solely for private use. Any transfer of the Tickets is prohibited. Specifically this includes selling the Tickets to third parties, or offering the Tickets for sale in the context of internet auctions or not authorized ticket exchanges. You may not transfer your rights and obligations under the contract with MCT (and thus also the right to demand access to the Concert) to a third party. If you do not wish to/cannot use the Ticket, it is possible to return the Ticket(s) under the conditions set out in section 8. This shall not affect the possibility of returning the Ticket if the event is postponed or cancelled pursuant to section 5.
8. RETURNING TICKETS

- the purchaser confirms acceptance of these GTC, and
- the Purchaser pays a fee of EUR 10.00.

Only the new ticket issued to the purchaser may be used for entry (section 7.3). In this case, there is no claim for reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price for the ticket that becomes available against us, but only against the purchaser.

The same shall apply where liability is mandated by the law, in particular liability pursuant to the Produkthaftungsgesetz (ProdHaftG, German Product Liability Act), and in the event of guarantees.
10.2 In the event that essential contractual obligations are breached (so-called “cardinal obligations”), such breaches being based on simple negligence and not covered by the stipulations of section 10.1 hereof, MCT shall be held liable to a limited extent, this being the compensation of the foreseeable damage that is typical for the type of contract concerned. The cardinal obligations of MCT include those duties the fulfillment of which is the basis of the due and proper implementation of the contract, and in the adherence to which you may, as a general rule, trust.
10.3 In all other regards, MCT shall be held liable only for grossly negligent or intentional violations of its contractual duties.
