Box Office, Culture Passports

On the day of the concert, tickets can only be purchased at the box office as long as capacities are available.
Tickets at the box office can only be purchased in cash.
It is recommended to have the ticket price ready, if possible, as there is no entitlement to the presence of appropriate change.
Holders of the "Hunger auf Kunst & Kultur" Culture Passports will receive a free ticket on presentation of this passport and an ID card at the box office, in case of availability. If Culture Passport holders wish to use one of our OFS shuttle buses, they can send a reservation request by email to the advance booking address with reference to their Culture Passport, in order to obtain a seat (subject to availability).

Seat reservation in the shuttle bus

In case of booking concert tickets in advance via this website, it is possible to use a free shuttle bus for selected events outside of Graz, from Graz main station and back (subject to seat availability), if the customer specifies the reservation request when ordering tickets by email to the specified advance booking address.
However, there is no entitlement to a seat.
Available seats will be reserved by OFS after receipt of reservations from customers with paid e-tickets, subject to availability, in the order in which payment is received.
The customer must present the e-ticket on request on the shuttle bus.
The stated departure times of the buses must be adhered to as binding. In order to ensure the smooth running of the event day, busses cannot wait for late passengers.
If a reserved seat on the shuttle bus is no longer required by a customer, the customer agrees to inform OFS immediately by email, so that any seats that become free can be given to other concert visitors if applicable.

Scope of Contract

OFS will not provide any replacement for lost tickets.

Line-up and Program Changes, Rescheduling, Cancellation, Obstruction of View, Seating Arrangements

Insignificant line-up and program changes do not entitle the customer to withdraw from the contract, to return the tickets or to reduce the purchase price.
In the event of cancellation of an event that is within the scope of responsibility of the website operator, the purchase price will be refunded upon presentation of the ticket at the local advance booking office or upon return of the e-ticket to the advance booking e-mail address within a period of one month after the date of the event. The same applies if an event is moved to another date and the customer does not attend the event on this alternative date.
If an event already in progress has to be cancelled for reasons beyond the control of OFS, or if an event cannot be held at short notice due to force majeure, there shall be no entitlement to a refund of the purchase price.
At venues with a free choice of seats, there is no entitlement to a specific seat; in churches in particular, it must be expected that the view will be obstructed, in some cases considerably and in some cases completely. This entitles neither to a reduction nor to compensation or withdrawal. View obstructions may also occur due to cameras or technical setups. In individual cases, in the case of small venues, it must be expected that no more free seats will be available shortly before the start of the event. OFS reserves the right to expand or change seating arrangements if necessary. In individual cases, remaining seats may also be allocated from tickets issued in advance as standing room, which entitles neither to a reduction nor to compensation or withdrawal.

Catering, Receptions

Selected OFS events are accompanied by receptions and the like, for which the website operator assumes no legal responsibility, as they are organized by external partners or on a voluntary basis.
The purchase of a concert ticket entitles the holder to participate in such supporting program items, but there is no entitlement to their taking place.

Late Admission, Image and/or Sound Recordings

Late admission can only be granted during an event intermission. There is no late admission at events without an intermission.
Sound, photo, film and video recordings before, during and after the event on the event premises, including for private use, are prohibited. The website operator is entitled to take any recordings made in this way or, if technically possible, to delete them.
