Members of the Security Services have identifiers placed in a visible place containing: the issuer's name, identification number and photograph, period of validity, seal and signature of the issuer; "Event Area" means the designated place or places where the Event and accompanying events are held. The Event Area is publicly announced before the Event, e.g., on the website dedicated to the Event, within the mobile application dedicated to the Event, printed maps available in the Event Area, etc.; "Participant" means a person participating in the Event based on an Identifier issued in exchange for a Ticket.

Children under 10 years of age are exempt from the obligation to possess a Ticket, provided they present a document confirming the child's age and are under the care of an adult holding a Ticket and at their responsibility.

III. TICKET SALES

6. Tickets are sold exclusively: 1) by the Organizer via its website ([•]); 2) at authorized points of sale; and 3) by authorized distributors. Tickets may only be sold at the price indicated on the Ticket. A list of authorized points of sale and distributors is available on the Event's website.

The ticket sales schedule, ticket types, and prices are announced publicly before the Event on the website dedicated to the Event and on the websites of ticket distributors. Ticket distributors are authorized to conduct sales based on their own regulations. The Organizer informs that each Ticket is marked with a unique barcode or other unique identification, and that each Ticket entitles the person whose data is on the Ticket to a single 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 mean that the original purchaser of the Ticket will not be 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 forged ticket, which will consequently result in refusal to exchange such a ticket for an Identifier, and thus refusal of entry to the Event. The Organizer informs that, in accordance with Article 133 § 1 of the Code of Petty Offenses, it is forbidden to acquire for resale at a profit entry tickets for artistic, entertainment, or sports events, and to sell such tickets at a profit. Attempting, inciting, and aiding are also punishable in accordance with Article 133 § 2 of the Code of Petty Offenses. Any public offering of the transfer of ownership of Tickets is prohibited, including as prizes in competitions, lotteries, premium sales, or any other promotions, even if it is free of charge, unless the Organizer agrees to it, in accordance with paragraph 7. Ticket returns combined with a refund of the paid price are possible only in cases explicitly specified in these Regulations or in the ticket sales regulations, in the event of cancellation of the Event, change of location or date of the Event, or in the event of restrictions imposed on the Organizer by public administration bodies. In such a case, the Organizer will always announce information about the possibility and conditions of ticket returns. Failure to use the Ticket does not entitle one to claim a refund of the price.

7. Sponsors, media patrons, as well as selected media representatives (radio, television, press), with the Organizer's consent, are entitled to organize competitions in which the prize will be personalized entry tickets to the Event. A ticket won in a competition can only be used by the winner, cannot be transferred to a third party, and is exchanged for an Identifier upon presentation of the Ticket and identification. Prize tickets cannot be exchanged for monetary or material equivalents. The rules and course of the competitions are defined by separate regulations of the entities organizing them.

8. Only an original Ticket, acquired in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations and the regulations of sales points and authorized distributors, is subject to exchange for an Identifier. A Ticket acquired in violation of the provisions of these Regulations may be invalidated by the Organizer (or its representative), without the right to a refund of the price, and thus will not entitle to entry to the Event.
