Contact between the Seller and the Buyer for the fulfillment of a contract and delivery will be permitted through the Platform’s contact form.
Users must have their email address, which they registered with on the Platform, fully operational at all times. Pointicket is not responsible if the User cannot receive emails or receive their tickets because their email address no longer exists, their inbox is full, or they have any restrictions that prevent the receipt of tickets or any other type of information from Pointicket.
Additionally, Users must be reachable by email at all times until the event is held, as Pointicket may send any relevant and urgent communication, new tickets in case a problem is detected with the ones sent, or new information if the situation requires it.
Furthermore, Pointicket will review compliance with current regulations and will act when it has effective knowledge of the existence of illicit information, removing such information or disabling access to it, respecting the principle of freedom of expression.

After termination, the User will no longer have access to their account and the data stored therein. Users’ rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (in particular, regarding information) will not be affected.
In case of non-compliance with these Terms of Use, legal provisions, or third-party rights, Pointicket shall have the right to take appropriate measures to terminate the non-compliance or eliminate its consequences, in order to immediately block individual content or Users (temporarily or permanently) or modify or delete content. Such measures may also include warnings, suspensions of use, or cancellation of participation in the Platform or denial of access to it.
Pointicket will fully take into account the legitimate interests of the respective User, particularly in terms of their responsibility for the non-compliance.
1.6. Lack of Guarantees Regarding the Correctness and Availability of Platform Use
Pointicket does not provide guarantees that the Platform will always be available.

Users will indemnify Pointicket for any claims that other Users or third parties may make against it for violations of their rights related to tickets offered on the Platform and other content published on the Platform (e.g., failure to provide information in distance sales). This indemnification shall not apply if the User is not responsible for the violation in the sense of negligent or intentional conduct.
In the case of accusations made by third parties, the User is obliged to immediately provide Pointicket with the correct and comprehensive information required to assess such accusations and defend against them.
1.8. Final Provisions
The relationship between Pointicket and Users shall be governed by the laws of Estonia, unless otherwise specified in the advertisement and sales contract in question.
For certain specific Events, Users may not be able to buy or sell Tickets if they are residents or currently reside in certain countries due to legal restrictions that apply in these countries. The User may be required to provide their address and confirm their residence. It is also possible that users will be prevented from using our service for these Events. The User may not circumvent these restrictions, and any purchase or sale will be canceled if such circumvention is detected.
Pointicket is not obligated to participate in any consumer dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer conciliation committee.
The User shall refrain from disclosing or publishing statements, transaction information, buyer claims information, or information on disputes with buyers that could in any way damage Pointicket’s reputation. This information may include statements, online or on social networks, that are public domain or accessible to a large number of people. Examples include defamatory, uncertain, or incorrect statements or information.
Pointicket may unilaterally impose penalties for the disclosure of such information or for false or incorrect statements and may deduct them from any outstanding sum owed until the situation is resolved or ceases to exist. Pointicket may also request a signed commitment guaranteeing that such statements or information will not be published or disclosed to third parties in the future before releasing the retained funds.
For any complaints, grievances, or suggestions, the User may contact us through the contact form available on this website.
These general conditions are governed by Estonian law. Any dispute that may arise in relation to the website or the activity carried out on it will be submitted to the Courts of Estonia, with the User expressly waiving any other jurisdiction that may correspond to them.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all communication with the User will be done through the email address provided during the registration process.
2. Special Conditions for Buyers
The following conditions apply to buyers.
2.1. Contract Formation
The publication of a ticket to an Event on the Platform constitutes a binding offer to enter into a contract between the seller and the buyer to purchase the tickets at the price set and accepted by the seller. Current regulations must be complied with, and Pointicket will actively review Users’ actions in this regard.
A contract between the seller and the buyer regarding the purchase of tickets shall be deemed concluded when the buyer accepts the offer. The buyer accepts the offer by placing the order through the “Order now” button. The buyer must provide their payment details for the processing of the sales contract.
The buyer shall not have any legal right to cancellation or refund regarding the purchase of tickets if there is a specific date or period scheduled for the Event. The buyer shall refrain from disclosing or publishing statements, transaction information, claims information, or information on disputes with sellers that could in any way damage Pointicket’s reputation. This information may include statements, online or on social networks, that are public domain or accessible to a large number of people, such as defamatory, uncertain, or incorrect statements or information.
2.2. Price, Expenses, and Payment MethodsThe Total Price consists of (a) the ticket price (“Sale Price”), (b) Pointicket’s electronic service fee (the amount depends on the type of Event and the type of ticket or venue of the Event), (c) shipping and delivery costs, if applicable, and (d) the price/fee to be paid for the use of a specific payment method. The Total Price includes the applicable VAT, if any.The buyer is obligated to pay the Total Price if a contract has been concluded. Payment of the Total Price shall be due upon conclusion of the contract and shall be made by charging the credit card or debit card, direct debit, or other payment service used by the buyer after conclusion of the contract or using the payment methods indicated on the Platform. Available payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, Amex, and PayPal. Other payment methods may be offered without prior notice. Pointicket may request identification and verification of the payment method if fraud is suspected. In these cases, the order will remain in “Pending” status until a Pointicket specialist approves or rejects it. The buyer will receive an email notification indicating that additional verification is required.The “face value” of a ticket refers to the price originally set by the event organizer or authorized seller for that particular ticket. It is the base cost indicated on the ticket itself, before any additional surcharges or service fees that may be added when purchasing it. This face value represents the actual cost of the ticket without including any extra charges.Transparency and security are paramount at Pointicket. Each purchase will indicate its Total Price, including taxes, booking fees, service and management fees, or any other applicable charges. The prices indicated will be those in effect at any given time, unless there is a typographical error.
2.3. Information, Named Tickets, and Availability
It is guaranteed that the seats associated with a purchase are contiguous, without prejudice to any specific contrary provision.
In general, tickets allow the bearer to access the venue without the attendee’s name being on them. However, on some occasions, the organizer may require named tickets. In this case, the buyer is obligated to inform the Platform of the name and surname of each person attending the event. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to provide Pointicket with the necessary information for the Seller to issue or customize their tickets. In these cases, the buyer will receive their tickets already personalized for access to the event. Therefore, the buyer will be responsible if they do not provide this necessary information or if the information provided is incorrect and they are not allowed entry to the event.
In exceptional circumstances, the seller may not be able to guarantee the delivery of the tickets sold on the Platform. In such a situation, Pointicket reserves the right to seek replacement tickets up to 4 hours before the start of the event in order to provide the buyer with the tickets.
Replacement tickets refer to new tickets assigned by Pointicket to another seller. These tickets may be in the same category, a higher category, or a lower category than the one originally purchased by the user. If tickets of a lower category than the one originally purchased are assigned, the buyer will be refunded the price difference between the purchased category and the one finally delivered.
In the unlikely event that, 4 hours before the event, tickets cannot be provided, a full refund will be issued to the affected buyer. Likewise, if for organizational or technical reasons it is not possible to deliver the tickets, the Platform will fully refund the purchase or reservation amount.
For some events, the platform will offer the “Advance Order” option. This service allows buyers to reserve a product that is not yet available for sale, ensuring that they will receive the ticket(s) once they are available. The Platform will charge a handling fee for this service, which will be itemized during the booking process.
Tickets will be provided by future sellers and not by the Platform. If tickets cannot be found, the buyer’s order will be fully refunded.
2.4. Contract Withdrawal for Sales
According to the regulations on electronic commerce and distance selling, it is not possible to cancel the purchase of tickets, obtain a partial or total refund, change the event date, or modify the characteristics of the purchase, such as the category. Once payment has been made, tickets cannot be returned or refunded. In other words, the purchase of tickets for shows is excluded from the general right of withdrawal. The User cannot exercise the right of withdrawal or resolution of the contract, in accordance with current consumer legislation.
The User’s inability to attend an event or show, or the User’s error in purchasing or reserving tickets, such as an error in selecting the event day or ticket category, does not allow for a refund, cancellation, or reimbursement. Failure to use the ticket or attend the event due to reasons caused by third parties, riots, traffic jams, or natural disasters does not entitle the User to a refund or reimbursement if the Event is held.
Without prejudice to other rights granted by law, the buyer shall have the right to withdraw from the sales contract regarding the ticket(s):
(i) If the event is canceled. Occasionally, shows may be subject to cancellations, date changes, or substantial alterations by the organizer, artist, or promoter, due to various reasons, such as artists’ strikes or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event that a show is completely canceled and not rescheduled, the User has the right to request a refund of the face value of the ticket. To request a refund, the User must contact the Platform through the contact form available on this website within 10 calendar days from the date the cancellation of the event is officially communicated. After this period, it will be understood that the User does not wish to request a refund and waives any claim in this regard.
(ii) If the buyer does not receive the ticket. If the User has not received the ticket and it has not been sent before the indicated delivery deadline, provided that the buyer has informed the Platform of such absence and has had a reasonable period of time to investigate the case, unless the buyer is responsible for the non-receipt or delay in this, such as incorrect email data, saturated email, error in the phone, error in the delivery address, preventing the delivery of the ticket(s) due to the buyer’s non-compliance.
(iii) If the ticket is invalid. If the ticket is not valid and does not entitle the buyer to access the Event for reasons not attributable to the buyer. The buyer shall be responsible for providing the necessary data for ticket customization or issuance, ensuring that they are correct and complete. Any error or omission in the information provided shall be the sole responsibility of the buyer and may affect the validity or delivery of the personalized tickets.
In case the purchased tickets are not valid and do not allow the buyer to access the event, the buyer must immediately notify the platform. The platform will, as far as possible, contact the seller to request new tickets or seek alternatives to offer the buyer. Additionally, the buyer must notify the Platform within 5 days from the date of the event. The buyer may need to provide additional evidence that the ticket did not entitle them to access the Event, so they should request documentation from the Event staff regarding the denial of entry and the reason for it.
For clarification purposes, any claim for non-receipt of the ticket(s), invalidity of the ticket(s), or denial of entry to the Event must be made no later than 120 hours (5 days) after the end time of the Event in question. Unless such a claim has been made, the funds received will be made available to the seller automatically.
Refund requests and claims must be submitted to the Platform through the contact form available on this website within 10 calendar days from the date the event cancellation is officially communicated. After this period, it will be understood that the User does not wish to request a refund and waives any related claim.
Upon notification of a claim within the deadline, the payment of the Sales Price to the Seller will be blocked until the parties declare that the matter has been resolved or until it has been resolved by decision of PointicketX. Once a claim has been filed, the seller will be offered the opportunity to make allegations, and a decision will normally be made within one month.
Pointicket shall have the right to declare a withdrawal from the sales contract against the seller if the legally stipulated conditions or the conditions set forth in these Terms of Use are met. Therefore, Pointicket is also authorized to accept statements of withdrawal from the buyer.
If the conditions for withdrawal are met, the Sales Price will be refunded to the buyer using the payment method used in the purchase or reservation process.
This contract with the User does not constitute any right for the buyer against Pointicket or other persons due to a withdrawal from the sales contract. In particular, the buyer cannot request that Pointicket or other persons enforce rights they may have against the seller. For clarification purposes, the buyer will not receive a refund for the ticket(s) that have not been downloaded, sent by courier or email in accordance with the delivery conditions, whose delivery the buyer has refused, has refused to rearrange, or has not collected from the courier company, or that the buyer has not received on purpose or in breach of the contract with the seller regarding delivery. The buyer must actively try to locate the ticket(s) if they have been lost or if the courier company has delayed delivery, or if other reasons apply. The buyer must also contact Pointicket in these cases and offer it the opportunity to contact the seller and resolve the matter in question.
If the Event is postponed to another date or held at another venue (which includes rescheduling a canceled Event), the buyer will not be contractually entitled to receive a refund of the ticket price or any expenses incurred, whether from the seller or Pointicket, as long as the purchased ticket(s) is/are valid for the new date or venue.
2.5. Format and Delivery Time
The ticket(s) will be sent in PDF format (eTicket, print@home) to the User’s email address used for the reservation. Each purchase has an identification number, which will be the purchase number. The user must print their tickets and bring them to the event. They can also show them on their mobile device.
Generally, event organizers usually distribute tickets a few days before the event (“delayed tickets”). Therefore, for organizational and security reasons, the ticket(s) will be sent the week of the event, meaning the buyer will receive the tickets between 5 days and 24 hours before the event date. In exceptional circumstances, the buyer may receive the tickets up to 4 hours before the event.
For last-minute purchases:
– Purchases made less than 2 days before the event. The delivery deadline is 6 hours before the Event.
– Purchases made less than 10 hours before the event. The delivery deadline is 3 hours before the Event.
– Purchases made less than 4 hours before the event. The delivery deadline is 2 hours before the Event.
“Delivery” refers to the delivery of the ticket(s) to the email address with which the User registered and made the purchase. The delivery times are based on the start time of the Event.
If a delivery is not made within the mentioned period, the buyer must contact Pointicket directly and as soon as possible through the contact form.
In case the tickets have not been delivered to the buyer within the stipulated period, Pointicket may search for other sellers to find replacement tickets that are similar, superior, or inferior.
3. Special Conditions for Sellers
3.1 Terms and Conditions of Ticket Sales
Pointicket has the right and may be legally obligated to verify price limits for event tickets. The seller will receive information about which events will be affected by such limits on the Platform during the ticket listing process or via email. Tickets will not be offered on the Platform for events that violate legal provisions or are contrary to basic civility.
Listing a ticket on the Platform constitutes a binding offer to enter into a contract between the seller and potential buyer to purchase the tickets at the price set by the seller. The seller will remain bound by their offer until the date of the event. It is possible to modify the listing details or withdraw listings published by the seller through the platform, and any modification or withdrawal will only take effect after it has been made. If the seller is unable to withdraw or modify the listing, i.e., due to errors on the website or network problems, they must immediately inform Pointicket by email or through the contact form.
If, after a sale is completed, the seller detects an obvious error in the offer (error in expression or content), they may, without prejudice to their legal rights, send a written request to Pointicket to correct or cancel the purchase, stating the reasons for the request. Unless the law provides otherwise, there is no right to demand that the purchase be modified or canceled. Hereby, Pointicket informs sellers that they may be required to pay penalties and damages to Pointicket if a contract is not properly executed. Such indemnities will be determined solely by Pointicket and may also include damages to Pointicket and the costs of resolving the situation. The minimum indemnity is equal to 100% of the seller’s price for the tickets sold, including shipping costs and Pointicket fees. In special cases, penalties and damages may exceed 100%. This situation will normally occur if market prices are very volatile, and the buyer has had to pay much more to replace the originally purchased tickets. Pointicket will study such cases based on market historical data and will notify the seller if a special situation of such characteristics arises. Pointicket will also offer the seller the opportunity to provide their observations before making a final decision.
By posting an offer on the Platform, the seller guarantees that they have the right to sell and transfer the tickets listed to the buyer. In particular, the seller guarantees that the sale is not subject to any legally valid restrictions imposed by the Event organizer or that the tickets can be sold on the secondary market without legal restrictions, and that all corresponding data, concessions, or limitations necessary for the buyer to make a reservation-free purchase are properly specified in the listing. If tickets are also offered for sale on other websites and are no longer available because they have been sold on a third-party platform, they must be immediately removed from the Platform. Hereby, Pointicket informs sellers that they may be required to pay damages to Pointicket. The seller authorizes Pointicket to make charges on any account, future payment, or card registered in the seller’s name on the Platform.
The seller confirms when creating a listing on the platform that they have not used any automated robot, false information, or used someone else’s identity to purchase the tickets offered. Tickets for some events may not be legally offered from some countries. These restrictions will be shown in the sales process, and consequently, they need to be confirmed before creating the listing. Any violation of these terms will result in a permanent ban from the platform.
The seller guarantees that the data and information about events provided in the listing (e.g., age restrictions or usage restrictions) and on the tickets are correct and comprehensive, particularly regarding the original price, date, zone, row, seat, and category (e.g., restricted views, potentially restricted views, wheelchair space, designated wheelchair area, wheelchair access, etc.) of the ticket. If the tickets are for special followers of a team, this information must be added in the concessions. The seller will also provide the buyer with all information, data, and documents (including the terms and conditions of the Event organizer, if any) related to the event. Also, all information regarding the tickets and their characteristics must be provided objectively.
The Seller grants authorization to Pointicket to modify a listing if the category, section, concession, or other information provided for that listing is incorrect or does not conform to the optimal information structure for the listing page on Pointicket, or if the Seller does not add them correctly. Pointicket will never modify the prices or adjustments of the listing. The Seller will be notified by email if Pointicket has modified a listing. The Seller is obligated to verify the listing and, if necessary, pause/delete it if it does not correspond to the correct characteristics of the tickets after the modification. The seller may also contact Pointicket if changes to a listing are necessary.
If, after posting a Ticket on the Platform, there are any doubts regarding its authenticity or the Seller’s right to sell it, Pointicket shall have the right to remove the offer in question, after consulting with the Seller when necessary.
By registering and posting tickets, sellers undertake to comply with consumer protection provisions, including pre-contractual information obligations and notification of any cancellation rights the buyer may have. The seller may specify the specific terms of the listing (not mandatory). Specific listing terms must not be contrary to Pointicket’s Terms and Conditions. Pointicket may suspend or remove offers from the seller if it becomes aware of unlawful conduct by the seller, particularly regarding compliance with consumer protection rules.
The seller is responsible for any refund received through card systems because a product has not been delivered, does not match its description, or for similar reasons. Pointicket may withhold funds from the seller’s account if it has reason to believe that a refund may occur. Funds may be withheld for up to 120 days from the date of the Event. Pointicket may also withhold funds if it has reason to believe that the seller is involved in fraud or other illegal practices. In this case, Pointicket will request verification data from the seller.
Due to its contractual and privacy obligations to third parties, i.e., financial partners, Pointicket may not disclose details of the reasons for withholding funds other than those indicated in the preceding sections.
Contractual relationships regarding ticket purchases will arise exclusively between the respective seller and the buyer who accepted the offer. The seller must not contact the buyer directly by email, telephone, or social networks to transact outside the Platform. By doing so, they will be excluded from the Platform, and Pointicket may withhold funds or payments.
3.2. Payments to the Seller and Seller’s Obligations Default
The purchase price (ticket price plus any reimbursable shipping costs) paid into the seller’s account will be transferred to the reference account upon the seller’s request through the user’s admin panel on the Platform and will be available within 10 days after the Event ends. The payment processing time once initiated will depend on the seller’s country and is usually 2-5 business days. For high-value Events, payments may be delayed due to a risk assessment. If correct payment details are not provided, processing may be further delayed. Payment release will be processed as described above, unless:
– The buyer has validly declared a withdrawal, e.g., because (i) the seller did not send the ticket in due time, (ii) the ticket does not correspond to what was requested and the seller cannot deliver it in due time or at all, or (iii) the ticket is invalid. However, in these cases, the payment amount will be released immediately if the issue is resolved in favor of the seller.
– The shipping or delivery of the ticket(s) is not recorded in Pointicket.
– The buyer’s payment provider has initiated a payment refund.
– The Event has been definitively canceled due to incidents, i.e., the person or group of people do not attend, or unforeseeable causes such as natural disasters, wars, uprisings, nuclear explosions, pandemics, or terrorist acts.
The request for Payment to Bank Accounts from the Seller’s Profile normally takes between 2 and 10 days to be approved and reach the seller’s bank account; however, this may take longer to process. For accounts outside of Europe or for sellers outside of Europe or the UK, payment processing may take much longer.
Pointicket shall have the right to declare a withdrawal from the purchase contract on behalf and representation of the buyer if the legally prescribed conditions or the conditions set forth in these Terms of Use are met. In the context of withdrawal, the seller will not receive the sale payment. Paper tickets already received by the buyer must be returned to the seller at the seller’s expense.
In the event of Event cancellation and the seller needing the tickets to receive the purchase price from the organizer or promoter, the seller shall immediately notify the buyer and Pointicket’s customer support team after such cancellation.
In specific cases and at the seller’s request, Pointicket may reimburse the purchase price to the seller without accepting any legal obligation, e.g., in case of fraud committed by the buyer with a credit card.
Any contract related to the Trusted Seller program for payment in advance of the seller’s outstanding balance must be formalized in writing and may be canceled at any time if Pointicket considers its risk to be unacceptable.
The buyer of a ticket may not assert rights against Pointicket or the payment gateway under this clause.
3.3. Ticket Delivery
The seller may use the shipping options offered on the Platform.
For electronic tickets, Pointicket will provide the buyer with access to the ticket through the Platform for download.
In the case of paper tickets, the seller is required to retain the shipping tracking number and provide this number to Pointicket up to 6 months after the Event.
In the case of sending mobile tickets directly to the buyer, documentation of the corresponding information, a screenshot of the sent tickets, or download links must be retained as proof. For high-value tickets, Pointicket may request proof of shipment or delivery before authorizing any payment.
If tickets are delivered in person, the seller may only deliver directly to the buyer. The seller is obligated to verify the buyer’s identity and obtain a signature certifying receipt of the ticket(s). In case of dispute, it is the seller’s responsibility to prove that the buyer received the ticket(s).
By posting a listing, the seller confirms they are the holder of the ticket. The seller must deliver the tickets to the buyer between 5 days and 24 hours before the event start time.
For last-minute sales:
– Sales made less than 2 days before the event. The delivery deadline is 6 hours before the Event.
– Sales made less than 10 hours before the event. The delivery deadline is 3 hours before the Event.
– Sales made less than 4 hours before the event. The delivery deadline is 2 hours before the Event.
For tickets delivered on paper, the deadline for delivery is 7 days before the start of the Event. “Delivery” refers to delivery to the registered buyer’s address, in-person delivery, or delivery of tickets by express courier with tracking.
For tickets with hand delivery to the buyer: the deadline for delivery is 3 hours before the Event.
The deadline for delivery corresponds to the purchase contract with the buyer. The seller bears the risk that the tickets are not received in a timely manner, unless the buyer is clearly responsible for the lack of receipt or delay. Any punctual delivery failure by the courier company is the seller’s responsibility, unless the buyer rejects such delivery. If the shipment by the courier service is made shortly before the deadline, the seller will ensure that the tickets arrive on time at the buyer’s address.
Pointicket will notify the seller as soon as the purchase price has been credited to the Seller’s Account.
If the seller does not send or deliver the tickets before the deadline, the buyer (without prejudice to the rights granted to him by law) shall have the right to withdraw from the sales contract, unless the buyer accepts a different delivery date or the buyer has caused the lack of delivery or delay. If the buyer does not say
If the Event is postponed to another date or held in another venue (which includes the rescheduling of a canceled Event), the purchase will remain binding as long as the tickets are valid for the new date or venue. In these cases, the seller must, if requested, provide evidence that the original tickets are no longer valid and that this could be opted for with the Event organizer.
If the buyer does not use the ticket(s) or does not attend the Event for reasons caused by third parties, namely, but not limited to, riots, traffic jams, or natural disasters, such non-use or attendance shall not be the responsibility of the seller.
If the organizer personalizes the tickets, it is the seller’s responsibility to ensure that the correct details are added to the tickets. It is the buyer’s responsibility to provide the necessary information to issue or personalize the tickets. Pointicket shares the Buyer’s details with the Seller after the Purchase. The Seller confirms that they will not conduct transactions with the Buyer outside the platform.
