They govern the relationship in place between MCT and the purchaser of tickets (referred to hereinbelow as “you” or the “customer”). The General Terms and Conditions are a component of the agreement as to the acquisition of concert tickets (referred to hereinbelow as the “Tickets”). In the event that the customer uses general terms and conditions of its own that contradict our General Terms and Conditions 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 General Terms and Conditions 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 General Terms and Conditions, 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 ("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 General Terms and Conditions and are likewise to be observed. Where CTS’ terms deviate from the MCT General Terms and Conditions, 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 event organizer. MCT as the event organizer shall be entitled to the entirety of the Ticket Purchase Price, which is comprised of the basic ticket price, the convenience charge, the charge for mass transit, and other fees, in each case including statutory VAT (referred to hereinbelow 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 event booked.

2.5. The contract as to the attendance of concert events 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 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 event booked. Upon your leaving the event, respectively the one-off activation (Online Tickets), the Ticket will no longer be valid.

3.2. It is expressly prohibited to use the Ticket in several instances.

4. RETURN OF TICKETS, REIMBURSEMENT OF THE TICKET PURCHASE PRICE IN CASE OF CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE EVENT

4.1. As a matter of principle, you as a customer will have a claim to returning the Ticket and to being reimbursed fort he Ticket Purchase Price only if events are cancelled and/or postponed.

4.2. The claim to reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price is to be brought forward a) Should the event be cancelled without any other date being scheduled, at the latest four (4) weeks following the date of the event that was cancelled; b) Should the event be postponed to a replacement date: at the latest by midnight of the day preceding the replacement date.

Should you be prevented, for reasons for which you are not responsible, from filing the corresponding reimbursement claim in due time – for example because you were ill – you are under obligation to provide proof of the circumstances that exclude your responsibility in this regard.

4.3 Should the event be postponed to a replacement date due to force majeure, you do not have a right to return the Ticket and to reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price as a result of the postponement, unless you can demonstrate that you cannot be reasonably expected to attend on the new date, for example due to an already booked trip. Force majeure includes, but is not limited to, catastrophes, acts of terrorism, war or war-like events, pandemics, epidemics, fire, extreme or catastrophic weather conditions (such as floods, hurricanes or cyclones) which constitute a risk to life and limb of those involved in the concert, storm and/or catastrophe warnings, strikes and official decrees for which we are not responsible.

4.4. Charges paid (convenience charge and system charge, Clause 2.2.) will 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 CTS. The same applies to the system charge for the use of the ticketing system for issuing your tickets.

4.5. Should CTS charge additional fees in its own name (Clause 2.3.), their reimbursement shall be goverened by the general terms and conditions of CTS.

4.6. You are to contact 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.

4.7. 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 Clause 9 hereof.

5. LIMITED TICKET PURCHASE

5.1. For the Rammstein concerts there is a restriction of a maximum number of Tickets per person of 6 (six) Tickets per show. For these concerts, you may acquire only this number of Tickets; this applies regardless of the number of purchases you initiate. 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.

5.2. Clause 8 applies in the event of a violation of Clause 5.1.

6. PERSONALIZED TICKETS AND PROHIBITION ON TRANSFER OF TICKETS

6.1. All Tickets for the Rammstein concerts are personalized, in other words, only that person has the right to demand access to the event that holds visiting rights. That person's name will be printed on the Ticket as component part of the Ticket.

6.2. 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 in-formation 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 event (Sections 328 et seqq. of the German Civil Code).

6.3. The right to attend the event is the result solely of the contract you have concluded with us (Clause 2.2. hereof). 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 General Terms and Conditions, likewise entitled to attend the event. The names of these third parties must be noted on their Tickets. An additional prerequisite for attending the event 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.

6.4. 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 event by presenting a Ticket. Only one person is authorized to attend the event per Ticket.

6.5. 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 event) 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 Clause 7. This shall not affect the possibility of returning the Ticket if the event is postponed or cancelled pursuant to 4.

7. RETURNING TICKETS

7.2.3. If the conditions set out in Clause 7.2.2 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 (Clause 6.3). In this case you are not entitled to reimbursement of the Ticket Purchase Price, rather the purchaser is entitled to any reimbursement.

9.2. 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 Clause 9.1. 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.

9.3. In all other regards, MCT shall be held liable only for grossly negligent or intentional violations of its contractual duties.
