Intermediating sales contracts

All rights and obligations of Ticket Buyers are managed by the Organiser who is responsible for the content, amendments, and performance of the rights and obligations of Ticket Buyers.

If an event is cancelled, the time, location, or performers of an event are changed, or an event is replaced with another event, the Organiser is responsible for repurchasing the sold tickets and compensating all possible claims of Ticket Buyers. The Organiser can order this service from Piletilevi if they provide Piletilevi with the necessary funds to repurchase the tickets, in which case the terms and conditions will be agreed between the parties. If the Organiser has not ordered the service from Piletilevi for repurchasing the tickets and granted Piletilevi the necessary monetary resources within reasonable time after the announcement of cancellation of an event or after changing the time, location, or performers of an event, or replacing an event with another event, Piletilevi has the right to repurchase all or some of the tickets, provided that they inform the Organiser thereof in a format which can be reproduced in writing (by an e-mail). In this case, unless otherwise agreed, a fee equal to the intermediary service for ticket sales is applicable to all tickets that were repurchased, and the Organiser is, additionally, obligated to reimburse Piletilevi for all expenses incurred in relation to the repurchase of tickets. If the tickets are repurchased and an agency fee is applicable to the tickets, the Organiser is must ensure that the agency fee is also returned to the Ticket Buyers. In the event the tickets are repurchased, the Organiser is obligated to return all advance payments from advance sales, if Piletilevi has made such advance payments, and, based on the invoices issued by Piletilevi, pay for all services provided by Piletilevi (including the repurchasing service) by the date the repurchase of tickets starts. If the Organiser fails to meet the aforementioned obligations, Piletilevi has a right to perform the repurchasing service at the expense of the sales revenue, taking into account the following principles in the respective order:
  1. Piletilevi shall cover the unpaid invoices for the services provided by Piletilevi (including the service for repurchasing tickets) at the expense of the sales revenue;
  2. Piletilevi shall allocate a proportion of the remaining sales revenue to guarantee that they are able to return the cost of tickets purchased with a credit card within 120 calendar days as of the original date of the event;
  3. Piletilevi shall allocate a proportion of the remaining sales revenue to guarantee that they are able to return the cost of the physical tickets purchased from sales points within 120 calendar days as of the original date of the event;

If, after 120 calendar days as of the date of the original event, a proportion of the sales revenue is still in the possession of Piletilevi and they do not have any claims against the Organiser, Piletilevi shall return the remaining part of the sales revenue to the Organiser. The Organiser undertakes to reimburse Piletilevi for all additional expenses incurred in relation to the repurchase of tickets and pay for the repurchasing service a fee equivalent to the intermediary service, taking into account the sum of the repurchased tickets, unless otherwise agreed in Annex 1 of the Special Conditions.
