1. Scope of these General Terms and Conditions, Subject Matter of the Contract, General Terms and Conditions of Promoters and Supplier
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter: Terms) of TD Entertainment CV, Winschoterdiep 50, 9723 AB Groningen, The Netherlands (hereinafter: "we", "us" or "Seller"), shall apply to all contracts the Customer makes with the Seller with respect to the items displayed in the Seller's online shop (www.global-tickets.com), except for those referring to the Travel Package: these refer to the General Booking Terms and Conditions for TD Entertainment. The inclusion of the customer's own terms and conditions is contradicted, unless otherwise agreed.
1.2. The object of the contractual relationship, between the customer and us as a seller, regulated in these conditions is the resale of tickets by us.
1.3. We do not act as the promoter of events for which admission tickets (hereinafter Tickets) are displayed in the online shop. Responsibility lies with the respective promoter of the particular event. Therefore contractual relations are also formed with the respective promoter of the event by purchasing of tickets via us. These contractual relations may fall under General Terms and Conditions of the promoter in addition (see information in clause 7.2 of these conditions).
2. Conclusion of Contract, Order Processing
2.1. The display of products in our online shop is for submitting binding offers by the customer only and does not constitute a binding offer itself.
2.2. The customer is entitled to place his offer by phone, in written, by fax, by email or by using the order form in our online shop. In case of placement by using the online order form the customer gives a binding offer in regard to the products resp. services displayed in the shopping cart after having entered his personal data and by clicking the button “Buy” in the last step of the ordering process. Before binding placement of an offer all entered data can permanently be corrected by the usual keyboard and mouse functions. After submission of a binding order the customer is obliged to enter the necessary data for a debit of his credit card in case of choosing the payment method „credit card“. If the execution of the payment is not successful, the customer will automatically be changed to the payment method „prepayment/transfer“ after 15 minutes. The customer therefore is obliged to pay the full amount to the account of TD Entertainment C.V. (IBAN: DE46 2004 0000 0388 4111 03, BIC COBADEFFXXX) within 3 days.
2.3. In the next step we will immediately confirm the receipt of the order and declare the acceptance of the offer in text form. Before we give such declaration we are entitled to decline the customer’s offer.
2.4. The data of the order will be saved and can be retrieved by the customer after placement of the order in the pass word protected customer account created with the first order.
2.5. Order processing and communication contact will be performed by email and automated order processing. The customer has to guarantee that the given email address for the order processing is correct so he can receive emails under this address sent by us.
3. Prices and Payment Conditions, TD Entertainment Seal
3.1. Our ticket prices include the costs of purchase including the legal VAT. Because of the resale our prices can differ to the original issue price of the ticket. To avoid misunderstandings referring to this and to give our customers the possibility to use tickets without the disclosure of costs incurred, e.g. on works outings or businessrelated invitations, we seal the original issue price on the ticket with our TD Entertainment Seal.
3.2. Additionally we charge the customer a onetime processing fee. The amount of the processing fee depends on the delivery address of the customer and will be separately displayed before a binding order.
3.3. The particular total price is due immediately after conclusion of the particular contract and to be paid to us in advance. We provide the following payment methods if there is no other provision shown in the particular product display in the online shop:
Prepayment by
Direct (Transfer)
Credit card
3.4. In case of collection by the customer the customer gets the ordered tickets on the day of the event at the collection point or handover by our staff at the event venue after prior consultation with us by showing our electronically sent order confirmation and a valid ID or passport. If the parties agreed on this we will inform the customer in due time before the day of the event by email about all necessary collection details, e.g. handover meeting point, location of the collection point or communication data of the local contact person.
3.5. We reserve the right to carry out occasional security checks, in order to counteract credit card and account abuse. The customer can thus be requested by us by email to send us evidence of the address of the credit card holder by means of a credit card statement and a copy of the credit card by fax or email before we send the tickets or vouchers. If the customer does not meet this request within a deadline set by us, we reserve the right to cancel the order or reservation placed by the customer, and to charge any costs and fees incurred by this to the customer.
4. Provisions of Delivery and Shipping, Reservation of SelfDelivery
4.1. Especially for keen demanded events we cannot send the customer the ordered tickets after payment immediately fulfilment due to organizational reasons. In these cases we will give the customer a „Voucher“ after payment receipt which will be send to the customer within 3 days. The ordered tickets will be send to the customer via post in due time to the day of the particular event, or to his or her online account as a print@home-ticket which the customer can print out, or e.g. for very short-term orders or in exceptional cases hand over at the event venue.
4.2. The delivery of tickets will be regularly performed in the way shown in the online shop and to the delivery address given by the customer in the order, or where print@home-tickets are available, TD Entertainment will send the e-tickets to his or her online account which the customer can print out.
4.3. If a delivery to the customer is not possible the commissioned transport company will send the tickets back to us and the customer has to bear the costs of the new delivery. If the customer paid the tickets by credit card the additional costs of a new delivery will be charged on the credit card as well. In case of other payment methods (see clause 3.4) a new delivery of tickets will only takes place after receipt of the additional costs. Therefore the customer will get an invoice.
4.4. The risk of random loss and random deterioration of the bought tickets will pass to the customer with performed delivery (e.g. the placement in the letter box). If the client is an entrepreneur (see § 14 BGB) the risk of random loss and random deterioration in cases of shipping will pass by handover of the tickets to a suitable shipping person.
4.5. If we do not get delivered with the ordered tickets ourselves although we placed a congruent order at a suitable supplier we will be released from our obligation to perform and can withdraw from the contract without the arising of claims for damages of the customer. We are obliged to immediately inform the customer about the unavailability of the performance and will reimburse all performed considerations of the customer.
5. Claims of Reimbursement for the Customer or Cancellation of an Event
5.1. The processing of the event as agreed upon is in the solely responsibility of the particular promoter. This will also apply for the compliance of the visited event to the applicable legal protection for children and young persons.

5.2. In case of time or location related changes of the event the tickets regularly remain valid and cannot be returned. Any other applicable provisions of the promoter are ruled by his General Terms and Conditions. If there is a combination of a ticket with procured hotel stays the provisions under clause 5.8 apply.
5.3. In case of a default in performance in regard to the processing of the event (e.g. cancellation, abandonment, short term changes of the event venue construction, substitution of band members) the existence of claims of (partly) reimbursement to the customer is ruled by legal provisions and additionally all General Terms and Conditions of the promoter. This also applies for travel expenses of the customer, e.g. expenses for overnight stay or cancellation.
5.4. We generally endeavour to transfer received information about incidents exemplary named in clause 5.2. and 5.3. as soon as possible to our customer. Because of occasionally occurring shortterm cancellation the customer is required to get information about the actual performance of the event in the (local) daily press or in any other appropriate sources.
5.5. In case of the defaults in performance exemplary named in clause 5.2 and 5.3 in regard to the event we are not liable (also not for the reimbursement of the ticket price or other expenses in regard to the ticket purchase or the hotel booking or the travel to the event venue), unless the default of performance is caused by a breach of duty by us. This also applies in case of a cancellation of the event because of the insolvency of the promoter.
5.6. If the customer will engage us with the processing of reimbursement against the promoter after the cancellation of an event without replacement the customer has to send the tickets purchased at our company immediately back to us, at least two weeks after the cancellation of the event and regarding notice by us. The date of the sending of the ticket is relevant. If our sales price is higher as the price shown by the promoter on the ticket (except advanced booking and system fee) or equal we will reimburse the customer the price of the ticket shown by the promoter. Alternatively, the customer can also request that a ticket voucher is issued. If our sales price is lower than the price of the promoter we reimburse our sales price only.
5.7. After the expiry of the time limit of two weeks named in clause 5.6 the customer can only ask the promoter for a reimbursement because of a cancellation of an event without replacement in regard to the promoter’s General Terms and Conditions.

6. Reservation for Allocation of Higher Ticket Category, Control of Tickets by the Customer
6.1. Because of organisational reasons we reserve the right to deliver the customer in particular case tickets of a higher category. Therefore will be no additional costs for the customer. This right only applies if the delivery of the new tickets is reasonable for the customer in consideration of our interests. In case of assigning seats near the stage, for example, the tickets may contain a notice by the organiser with regard to any security restrictions in place. As these seats – if at all – are in fact normally subject to only slight reduced visibility, assigning such tickets to the customer is deemed acceptable.
6.2. The customer is obliged to control the tickets within 2 weeks after receipt whether the tickets are in regard to the provisions in clause 6.1 consistent to his order. Especially time and venue of the event have to be controlled.
6.3. If the customer does not raise any opposition in said time to us (by phone or in written) the delivery of the tickets is deemed as accepted. We will inform the customer about the start of the time limit and the relevance of his behaviour with the delivery of the tickets.
7. Warranty, Liability
7.1. Between us as a seller of tickets or intermediaries and the customer, the statutory provisions of the warranty for defects in accordance with the following provisions apply:
7.2. The customer knows that the tickets purchased at our house are resale. Therefore are no rights of warranty of the customer against us for the promoter’s invalidation of tickets purchased by us before the event and/or for the refusal of access because of a prohibition of resale in regard to the General Terms and Conditions of the promoter. Provided the customer submits to us written confirmation by the stadium or hall operator regarding the reason for having been refused entry, specifying the seat and ticket number, we will, however, consider whether, by way of exception, the purchase price can be refunded as a gesture of goodwill. The customer has, however, no legal right to claim a refund. Invoking verbal statements (e.g. by the security service deployed on site) is in no way sufficient as evidence.
7.3. We are unrestrictedly liable as the seller resp. procurer irrespective of the legal reason for our own fault and the fault of our vicarious agents in case of injury to life, body or health as for intent or gross negligence.

If the reason for cancellation is illness, injury or death of a close relative, proof of the family relationship is to be provided to us on request. In case of a Covid 19 infection, the result of a PCR test or a medical certificate is to be submitted to us. In case of a quarantine order, this is to be proven to us.
4.4. Cancellation in accordance with this no. 2 is permitted up to 24 hours before the start of the event. However, the customer is obliged to inform us immediately after becoming aware of the reason for cancellation so as to exercise his right to cancel.
4.5. As an exception to no. 4.2, in case of the death of a participant, a cancellation is still permitted up to 30 days after the start of the event.
4.6. The cancellation has to be at least in text form. The cancellation requirements will be checked by us on the basis of the documents submitted. If, according to these, a right of cancellation exists, the customer will immediately receive a confirmation of cancellation sent to the e-mail address provided by them.
4.7. If the cancellation requirements in accordance with this no. 2 are met, the customer is issued a voucher in the amount of the ticket price without the service fee. Payout of the purchase price is excluded. If the customer has already received the ticket, the issuing of a voucher is dependent on the customer returning the ticket to the address specified by us in the cancellation confirmation within 48 hours of receipt of our cancellation confirmation. The date of dispatch is decisive for compliance with the deadline. The return delivery must be carried out by DHL or UPS with tracking, unless we state otherwise. The customer is obliged to give us the consignment number for the purpose of tracking the consignment. The costs of the return are to be borne by the customer.
