Event regulations

Pichmännel Oktoberfest 2023

Ticket purchase / Bookings

When reservations are made, we try to accommodate the seating requests of our guests. However, we cannot give a guarantee for specific tables.

The number of persons specified by you when booking the stage mezzanine tables and Pichmännel box tables is binding. Reductions in the number of persons on the day of the event cannot be considered (see GTC). Tickets already purchased will not be refunded.

Please note that with the conclusion of the contract (completed and confirmed order), the consent to the official requirements for general health protection applicable on the day of the event (e.g., Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance, hygiene guidelines, vaccination, or convalescent status) is accepted. Violation of these official requirements may be punished by expulsion from the event site without refund of the ticket price.

Should it not be possible to operate the festival tent as a whole or on the day of the reservation due to official orders, safety considerations, force majeure or other important reasons, there shall be no claims for reimbursement against the organiser. The organiser reserves the right to transfer the validity of the tickets analogously to the next event.

Incoming inspection

The control and order service is entitled to examine persons - also by using technical aids - to see whether they pose a security risk due to alcohol and drug consumption or because they are carrying weapons or dangerous or inflammable objects. The examination also extends to objects carried (bags, jackets, backpacks, etc.).

In all other respects, the provisions of the Youth Protection Act apply.

Due to the noise level, the event is not recommended for children without hearing protection.

Persons who pose a safety risk or do not wish to undergo the examination are not allowed to enter the festival tent.
