The ticket price will be refunded if SÓNAR is cancelled, either totally or partially (except for fortuitous causes and/or force majeure and/or any other cause which, being beyond its control, would recommend for reasons of safety, prudence and/or risk to third parties, the cancellation of the Festival, in its entirety). This refund does not include the distribution cost applied by the various sales, except for a refund of the distribution cost applied by the various sales channels.
2.2. Tickets may only be purchased at sales points specifically authorised by the Organisers and after purchase, they will not be exchanged and no refund of their value will be given, except in cases where SÓNAR is cancelled. Any tickets that are altered, torn, or with signs of falsification will entitle the Organisers to refuse the bearer admission to the concerts and activities area.
2.3. The Organisation will not be held responsible for tickets that have not been purchased through the official online or physical points of sale; or that have been falsified or duplicated.
2.4. Once the purchase has been made, no changes or refunds are allowed.
2.5. The Organisers have technical procedures in place that are capable of detecting any duplicated, photocopied or forged ticket. The Organisers shall be entitled to refuse admission to the holder of any ticket in which irregularities are detected. The detection of any fraudulent use of the Print @ home tool will be prosecuted in accordance with the applicable legislation, including criminal liability.
2.6. The conditions of access and attendance for the event are subject to the regulations that, at any given time, are applicable for the prevention of Covid-19 infections, and which, therefore, may be altered as a result of the approval of new measures that modify the conditions in force at the time of purchase of the ticket.
3. Right of admission
Without prejudice to the above, the total or partial cancellation of SÓNAR due to unforeseen circumstances and/or force majeure will not provide grounds for a refund of the ticket price.
3.1. When festival events take place within closed venues, admission and entry is limited to each venue’s legal capacity, and entry may be denied once the respective legal capacity has been reached.
3.2 The Organisers reserve the right of admission to individuals who may reasonably be assumed to constitute a risk, and especially to holders of tickets in which an irregularity or falsification has been detected. The detection of any fraudulent use of the ticket will be prosecuted in accordance with the applicable legislation.

4. Prohibition on the use of tickets for advertising purposes
Possession of a ticket does not entitle the holder to use it for advertising, marketing or promotion purposes. Improper use will oblige the unauthorised advertiser and/or user to pay a fine equivalent to one thousand times the highest ticket price of the event, without prejudice to subsequent claims for general damages. Tickets found to be in breach of this prohibition will be confiscated, and cancelled immediately.

6. Alteration or cancellation of the festival

Without prejudice to the above, the total or partial cancellation of SÓNAR due to unforeseen circumstances and/or force majeure will not provide grounds for a refund of the ticket price, force majeure being understood to be that established for this purpose in the Civil Code and under the jurisprudence of the Spanish courts and tribunals, including any circumstance which, being beyond the control of the event organiser, requires for reasons of safety, prudence and/or risk to third parties, the cancellation of SÓNAR.
In the event of ticket refunds, such refunds will only affect the cost of the tickets, expressly excluding any expenses that may have been incurred by customers, such as, but not limited to, travel, accommodation or any other expenses related to attending the festival.
