Concessions and Festival Card

- Where reduced ticket prices are offered, concessions are granted to: severely disabled (accompanying persons are entitled to a free ticket), the unemployed, schoolchildren, interns, students and persons doing voluntary service; Leipzig Pass bearers will receive a special reduction.

- Furthermore, you can buy a Festival Card (€ 77,00) which entitles the owner to buy one reduced ticket per concert. A combination with other concessions is not possible. The Festival Card is non-transferable. The Festival Card cannot be applied to guided tours and to the following concerts not organized by Bach Archive Leipzig: No 5, 17, 19, 27, 28, 33, 37, 40, 42, 50, 55, 71, 75, 85, 89, 120, 132, 139, 150, 152, 153, 159.

- Afore mentioned concessions can only be applied if requested before the purchase of tickets. After the purchase, regular-priced tickets cannot be converted into reduced tickets even if the reason for a concession is valid.

- Appropriate documentation has to be shown at the concert venues without being asked.

- Wheelchair users are asked to book by writing directly to the Bach Archive.

Further Provisions

Further Provisions

- Tickets may generally not be refunded or exchanged. If the Bach Archive has to cancel the Bachfest or has to re-schedule concerts, the tickets will be refunded.

- If a venue has to be changed, tickets retain their validity. Visitors cannot claim the right that a concert has to take place at a specific venue.

- Casts are subject to change and such changes do not entitle the holder to return tickets bought.

- Any applicable hygiene concepts of the concert venues must be observed. Please inform yourself in good time before the event at www.bachfestleipzig.de.

- Bachfest concerts mostly take place in authentic venues. The architectural structure and the resulting performance conditions mean that visibility may be limited whatever the seating category. This does not give the right of withdrawal or to price reduction.

- If concerts are recorded or photographed, visitors agree to being pictured (in TV, internet, printed media).

- General terms and conditions apply. They are published in German on our website.

- No entry after the concert has started!

Credit card problems

Credit card problems

If the message »Credit card error« is displayed when you try to book, this may be due to one of the following reasons.


1. Debit card
Your card is a debit card. Although it is issued by a known credit card company (VISA, MasterCard), it acts like an ordinary debit card. These cards may only be used for payment in the cardholder’s country of residence (usually the USA). In that case, our ticket agency (Ticketmaster GmbH) is unable to complete the booking unless you have another, regular payment card.


2. Credit card
a) You may have a transaction limit on your credit card. That means, for example, that you can only use your credit card one to three times a day. You will have to make your next booking on the following day.
b) Technical problems (such as an error during transmission to the payment provider) may have caused immediate cancellation. In most cases you can simply start the booking process again, since no booking was made.
c) Foreign credit cards cannot be used because they figure on a payment provider blacklist. In that case, our ticket agency will take your data and those of your credit card and approve them, after which the agency can make the booking, or you can book yourself.
 

For all these cases, please fill in this form which will be sent directly to our ticket agency.
