Terms and Conditions for VIP and hospitality services at major events

Art. 1 Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH offers VIP and hospitality services for major events at the Olympiastadion Berlin. VIP and hospitality services can only be ordered together with the admission tickets (together referred to as “VIP tickets”). The purchase of an admission ticket constitutes a contractual relationship with regard to the event, exclusively between the ticket holder (“customer”) and the organiser. Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH will only mediate the event contract in the name and on behalf of the organiser. The customer’s contractual partner for VIP and hospitality services is Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH. Individual agreements remain unaffected by the following provisions; however, oral commitments by representatives or other auxiliary persons require written confirmation by Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH.

Art. 2 VIP tickets are ordered exclusively via the web shop of Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH. By completing the order process in the web shop, the customer submits an offer to conclude a contract. With the online confirmation of the order, the contract between the customer and the respective contract partner (Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH or the organiser) is concluded.

Art. 3 (1) Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH will issue an invoice to the customer for the VIP ticket order. The invoice is due for payment immediately.

(2) If the order is placed less than 14 days before the day of the event, the VIP tickets will no longer be sent to the customer.

In addition, the house rules for the Olympiastadion Berlin apply in the latest version (www.olympiastadion.berlin).

Art. 7 In case of cancellation of the event, the price paid for the VIP ticket will be refunded. In the event of a postponement or significant change to the event, a refund of the price of the VIP ticket is possible, provided that the Terms and Conditions of the respective organiser provide for a refund of the ticket price. A significant change is deemed to have occurred if a change occurs that makes the event a substantially different event than the purchaser of an admission ticket could reasonably expect. In the event of rescheduling or a significant change to the event, a refund of the VIP ticket price can only be made if the refund request (together with the VIP ticket) is received by Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH no later than within a period to be determined by the organiser at his or her dutiful discretion (for the refund of the ticket) prior to the start of the replacement date for the event or the significantly changed event. Further claims of the customer against Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH for the above-mentioned cases are expressly excluded. No refunds are possible in case of loss of the VIP tickets.

Art. 8 (1) If the customer withdraws from the contract, in particular in accordance with Art. 7 sentence 2, Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH can demand compensation in the amount of € 17.85 from the customer for expenses that are related to the conclusion of the contract or its implementation. The compensation for expenses shall be offset against any (advance) payment made by the customer.
