FESTIVAL RULES
The safety of festival visitors is our top priority.
To ensure a safe event — and to protect the lives, health, and property of all attendees and the event organizer — every visitor is required to undergo a security check upon each entry to the festival grounds and, if necessary, also within the premises.
The purpose of these security checks is to ensure that visitors are not carrying any dangerous or prohibited items that could endanger life, health, or property — whether their own, that of other attendees, or that of the organizer.
Possession of dangerous or prohibited items, or refusal to undergo a security check, will result in denial of entry or removal from the event grounds without any right to a refund.
Individuals without valid tickets, those displaying aggressive behaviour, or those who pose a threat to life, health, or property — their own or that of others — will likewise be removed from the event grounds without any right to a refund.
Prohibited items:
- Glass containers and bottles
- Sugary drinks and pre-prepared food
- Cans
- Sprays and markers
- Umbrellas
- Selfie sticks
- Drones, wireless routers
- Laser pointers
- Pets (except assistance animals)
- All types of weapons, including sharp objects (knives, razor blades, etc.), ammunition, explosives and pyrotechnics
- Flammable materials, chemicals, poisons, and toxic substances
- Psychotropic substances and precursors
- Any other items deemed dangerous by the event organizer due to risks to life, health, or property of participants
The recording of audio, video, or photography is strictly prohibited during the event, except when using personal digital cameras or mobile phones.
By entering the event premises, you acknowledge and agree to these conditions. Recording, reproducing, livestreaming, or publicly distributing full battles or other substantial portions of the event in any form, whether online or offline, without the prior written consent of the Organizer is strictly prohibited. Any breach of this condition constitutes a material breach of the event terms and may result in a contractual penalty of EUR 1,000, without prejudice to the Organizer’s right to seek additional legal remedies and damages..
If you become aware of any security threat, please notify the event organizers immediately.
