The Organizer informs that each Ticket is marked with a unique barcode or other unique identifier, and that each Ticket entitles the person whose data is on the Ticket to a one-time entry to the Event Area combined with the exchange of the Ticket for an Identifier. The Organizer warns that if the Ticket is made available in any form to a third party, this Ticket may be used by that or another person to enter the Event Area, which will consequently result in the original Ticket purchaser not being able to use it. The Ticket purchaser should therefore ensure the confidentiality of the Ticket and not make it available to third parties. The Organizer warns that buying Tickets from unauthorized persons, outside the official sales channels listed above, carries the risk of purchasing a counterfeit ticket, which will consequently result in the refusal to exchange such a ticket for an Identifier, and thus the refusal of entry to the Event. The Organizer informs that, in accordance with Article 133 § 1 of the Code of Misdemeanors, it is forbidden to acquire entry tickets to artistic, entertainment, or sports events for resale at a profit, and to sell such tickets at a profit.
