How can I get a ticket as a guest in a wheelchair?
Our guests in wheelchairs can request a wheelchair ticket free of charge.

The accompanying person must purchase the cheapest regular price ticket when applying for the wheelchair ticket.

If you select a ticket in the or spectator area, it will be added to your basket. By clicking on the "basket" icon in the top right corner, you can go to the basket interface to view its contents. The remaining basket time is indicated by a clock in the top right corner of the screen.
What is the print@home service?
The E-Ticket purchased through the Print@Home service is an electronic ticket in PDF format that can be printed at home with a simple inkjet or laser printer in A4 format or displayed on the screen of mobile devices. When buying tickets, you have the option to request tickets in Print@Home E-Ticket format, so once you have successfully paid for your tickets, the Print@Home icon will appear, by clicking on which you can download and print your own tickets in PDF format. You can access and print your previously purchased tickets at any time in your "User Account". It is therefore particularly important that you do not give anyone access to your purchased tickets. If several people try to enter the event with the same code, only the first person to arrive will be admitted.
What should I pay attention to if I want to print my ticket?
To use Print@Home tickets, the following technical conditions must be met: You must have Acrobat Reader version 5.0 or later. The ticket must be printed in A4 size. The print quality setting cannot be "draft", do not use refilled cartridges. For tickets printed with an inkjet printer, blurring of the barcode must be avoided. Printing can be both color and black and white.
How secure is the Print@Home E-Ticket?
Exactly as secure as a normal ticket. Print@Home tickets are scanned individually in the access control system. This ticket also entitles one person to a single entry to the event venue. It is therefore particularly important that you keep your ticket or its contact details secure. The buyer of the ticket is responsible for ensuring that no copies of the ticket are made.
What should I do if I have lost my ticket, or I am afraid that unauthorized persons have accessed it and made a copy?
Contact us at wch2023@eventim.hu. After proper customer identification our staff will be able to provide you with a new ticket with a new barcode, so that the original lost ticket will be invalid and cannot be used by anyone else.
Can I give my ticket to someone else?
Tickets entitle the holder to a single admission to the session indicated on it (in the case of a session ticket) or to all sessions indicated during the ticket's validity period (in the case of a package ). This means that a ticket can be used to enter the event once, and once entered, the ticket will lose its right of entry - after leaving the event, you cannot re-enter with the ticket. However, the ticket can be transferred before the first entry before the given session.
Where is my seat?
Tickets are valid for one place. When you buy your ticket, you can choose the exact seat you wish to buy your ticket for (Seat reservation based on seating order), or you can leave this choice to the ticket vending machine (Seat reservation based on ticket price). The selected place will be indicated on the ticket, and you will be able to occupy this seat during the event if you are in the spectator area.
