This Website is intended for personal use only.

Without Ticketmaster's explicit authorisation, deep links to this Website must not be set up for any reason whatsoever.
This Website is not intended to be used by minors. The purchase of tickets or other products is exclusively reserved to persons aged 18 or over who hold a valid credit/debit card issued in their name.
The purchaser must keep all of their login details for the Website (such as their password, etc.) confidential and must immediately inform Ticketmaster if they notice or suspect the unauthorised use of their user account. In such cases, the purchaser is held responsible for the unauthorised use of the Website. The purchaser is liable for any declarations of intention to purchase products or services that are sent using their login details or password.

No part of this Website may be used for commercial purposes without the prior written authorisation of Ticketmaster. In particular, the resale of tickets is forbidden. Tickets may not be sold privately for a price that is higher than the price indicated on the ticket plus the fees billed at the time of purchase. Moreover, Ticketmaster reserves the right to block the access for any customer or not to accept the ticket order of any customer of whom Ticketmaster knows or reasonable suspects that he/she cooperates with another ticket broker or black-market dealer or that he/she uses automatic programs for ticket ordering or orders tickets above Ticketmaster's maximum number of tickets per person, as specified for each event.
The purchaser may not combine the resale of a ticket with any hospitality, travel or accommodation service and/or with any other goods, products or services to create a package without the formal written authorisation of Ticketmaster and the Organiser.
Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, competitions or prize draws without the formal written authorisation of Ticketmaster and the Organiser. Even if this consent is obtained, the use of logos, trademarks and any other intellectual property is subject to the prior agreement of Ticketmaster as defined in Article 14 of these conditions.
Moreover, any breach of these conditions will lead to the loss of the right to access the event in question, with no payment of damages and with the ticket in question being declared void.
-
Ticketmaster acts as a partner for event organisers, promoters, producers, teams, artists and venues. Under these conditions of sale, "Organiser" refers to the parties who organise or provide the event and/or from whom Ticketmaster obtains the tickets and/or related products or services to sell to the purchaser.
For this reason, under no circumstances may Ticketmaster be held responsible for the configuration of the venue or any change of date, location or price, or the complete cancellation of the event.
Ticketmaster sells tickets under the conditions determined by the Organiser. The quantity of tickets available for sale varies depending on the event. Tickets are generally available through several means including online bookings, telephone booking services, and physical point of sale. These different means have access to the same ticketing system and tickets for popular events may sell out very quickly. Occasionally additional tickets may be released before the event. Ticketmaster has no control whatsoever over the availability of these tickets.
For certain events, tickets may be sold together with promotional material or other benefits or services of interest such as exclusive seating, accommodation, transport, meals, etc. for a lump sum.
The purchaser who places the order is deemed to be solely responsible for the booking and for payment, even where the order is placed on behalf of one or several third parties.
-
By confirming their order, the purchaser declares that they are aware of and accept
i) these conditions of sale, which are an integral part of the agreement between the parties,
ii) any special terms and conditions that may be displayed on the Ticketmaster Website,
iii) the Organiser's conditions, which can be found on their respective websites, and
iv) the terms and conditions of the venues (including conditions of entry), which can be found at said venues. The application of these conditions and the above-mentioned conditions is a prerequisite for the agreement of Ticketmaster to the contract of sale. The purchaser should read these terms and conditions carefully before making a purchase.By purchasing one or more Items from us, the purchaser acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If the purchaser does not agree with any applicable terms and conditions, or if they cannot comply with any of them, then they must not make a purchase.
The purchaser makes an offer to enter into a contract when they click the "Confirm purchase" button on the booking page for the offer in question. The purchase is final and binding once a transaction number has been created and sent by Ticketmaster to the purchaser.
We inform you that in case of an error of the indicated price, whatever the reason may be (information technology bug, human failure, technical failure,…), the purchase – even if it has been confirmed by us – will be cancelled and you will be informed as soon as possible. At that time you will have the option, should you desire to do so, to confirm your purchase at the corrected price.
All orders are placed subject to verification of the payment card and other security checks. The transaction may therefore be cancelled should it fail Ticketmaster's verification process.
Ticketmaster reserves the right to cancel bookings that it reasonably suspects of having been made fraudulently.
-
The details of events that appear on the Ticketmaster Website, namely the location of the event and its content, are provided to Ticketmaster by the event’s Organiser. Ticketmaster does not have any opportunity to examine or verify this information. Ticketmaster may not be held responsible for the accuracy of the details provided beyond the provisions of Clause 11.
Updated event details, in particularly those updated on the day of the event, may be obtained from the Organiser's, promoter's or artist's official online announcements or from other generally accessible sources as well as the press.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser and any ticketholder to determine whether an event has been cancelled or whether the date and time or location of any event has been rearranged. If an event is cancelled, rescheduled or relocated, Ticketmaster will make every reasonable effort to inform customers as soon as it receives authorisation from the event partner. Ticketmaster does not guarantee that customers will be informed before the date of the event.
The purchaser and any ticketholder is strongly advised to check any communication about the event from one month before the event, and this in order to also be able to adjust any additional plans (flight, overnight stay, etc.) in time. It is also crucial to always update account information (e-mail address, mobile phone number, ...) in order to be able to be informed correctly and quickly (read also article 11.2). The purchaser and any ticketholder is responsible for strictly following up on e-mails classified in possible SPAM folders.
The advertised start and end times of events are subject to change.
Customers may be limited to booking a specific number of tickets via Ticketmaster for each event. The limit is indicated on the booking pages and should be checked before each purchase. This policy is designed to discourage unfair ticket buying practices. Tickets may be limited to a maximum number per person or per credit/debit card and, for certain events, a restriction may apply per household. Ticketmaster reserves the right to cancel without warning ticket bookings that exceed this number.
Tickets may be sold subject to certain entry or usage restrictions such as, but not limited to, restricted or side view, restricted height, venues with a minimum entry age, non-adjacent seats, etc. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that they have read all of the information provided on the Ticketmaster Website regarding these restrictions at the time of booking.
-
As well as the sale price of the tickets, admin, delivery and transaction fees, which may vary according to the event, are also charged. These fees are indicated at the time of ordering. No fees other than those indicated may be charged.
The total price for the tickets may then exceed the price indicated on the tickets. The ticket price and delivery fees, transaction fees and/or travel contribution include VAT.
The total price of the order, including all fees, must be paid immediately once the contract of sale is agreed. Payment must be made by credit/debit card and, for certain events, may also be made by bank transfer.
Additional, optional services and/or products such as gift wrapping or insurance may also be offered separately and will be charged in addition to the fees displayed.
Although Ticketmaster aims to ensure that all prices on the Website are correct, errors may occur. If an error is discovered by Ticketmaster in the price of any item that the purchaser has ordered, Ticketmaster will inform them as soon as possible and give them the option of reconfirming their order at the correct price (and crediting or debiting their account as applicable) or cancelling their order. If Ticketmaster is unable to communicate with the purchaser, the latter agrees that Ticketmaster will treat the order as if it had been cancelled. If the purchaser chooses to cancel even though they have already paid the incorrect price, they will receive a complete refund from Ticketmaster.
Platinum tickets are some of the best tickets available for concerts and other events. These tickets may be made available for sale at the request of the Organiser. They give fans guaranteed access to the best available tickets for the event. For such tickets Ticketmaster uses a "dynamic pricing" system which means that the price is determined by the size of the offer and the level of current demand.
-
Tickets will be shipped via the method chosen by the purchaser, after the contract is entered into and after payment. If Ticketmaster does not comply with an agreed delivery deadline, the purchaser may grant Ticketmaster or the Organiser a reasonable extended deadline. At the end of this deadline, the purchaser is entitled to cancel the contract by giving written notice, unless the tickets have been shipped in the meantime. Withdrawal from the purchase is not guaranteed if the customer has been duly informed that the tickets are ready for collection from the event venue.
Should any tickets be lost in the postal system, the parties agree that Ticketmaster will send the Organiser all complaints. The latter will choose how to resolve the issue and will absolve Ticketmaster of any responsibility provided that it prove that the tickets were lost in the postal system.
Conditions of sale concerning e-tickets, mobile tickets, digital tickets :
E-tickets, once printed on plain paper, constitute the customer's sole entry ticket for the event. They must be printed clearly, with all elements being legible without confusion. Should they not be printed clearly, the customer will not be granted access to the event. Each barcode/QR-code represents one single entry ticket.
The e-ticket will be scanned at the entrance to the event. This ticket may only be scanned once on the date indicated on the ticket. If the same barcode/QR-code is presented several times, only the first ticket that is scanned at the entrance gate will be granted access to the event. The perpetrators of any attempted theft, forgery or fraud will be prosecuted.
Ticketmaster guarantees the authenticity of the tickets provided that said ticket has been purchased from the www.ticketmaster.be Website. Customers should therefore not accept any tickets sold by third parties or other websites.
-
There is no withdrawal right.
In accordance with Article VI.53, 12 of the Belgian Code of Economic Law, the purchaser may not exercise their right of withdrawal in accordance with Article VI.47 for the provision of services related to leisure activities if the contract indicates a specific execution date or period.
Please read our Ticketmaster Fan Guarantee to find our more about other possibilities.
-
Tickets may not be refunded and/or exchanged in the case of loss or theft.
Occasionally events are cancelled, rescheduled or changed significantly by the team, artist or Organiser for various reasons.
Should an event be cancelled, the purchaser may ask the Organiser to refund the price of the ticket.
If it is agreed between the Organiser and Ticketmaster that Ticketmaster will, in the name of and on behalf of the Organiser, refund customers, the conditions of this Article must be met.
10.1 Cancellation: if an event is cancelled (and not rescheduled), customers will be offered a refund for the sale price of their tickets, excluding delivery fees and transaction fees. If an event is taking place over several days and one or several days is/are cancelled (but not all days of the event), a partial refund will be paid corresponding to the day or days that have been cancelled.
10.2 Rescheduled: unless otherwise indicated in relation to a particular event, if an event is rescheduled, customers will be offered seats/tickets to the advanced or postponed event (subject to availability) of an equal value to their original tickets. If the customer cannot attend the rescheduled event, for which proof must be provided, they will be offered a refund for the sale price of their tickets, excluding delivery fees and transaction fees. Ticketmaster must be informed within the deadline specified if the customer is not able to attend the rescheduled event. If not, Ticketmaster will confirm the booking for the new date and the customer will not be entitled to a refund.
10.3 Material alteration: if an event is materially altered, Ticketmaster will offer the option of either confirming the order for the modified event or providing a refund (of the sale price of the tickets, excluding delivery and transaction fees) by the deadline specified by Ticketmaster. Should the customer fail to inform Ticketmaster of their decision by this deadline, Ticketmaster will consider the order to have been confirmed for the modified event and the customer will not be entitled to a refund. A "material alteration" is a change made by the Organiser, such that the event differs from what the ticketholder could reasonably have expected. The use of understudies in plays or similar productions and/or any change of (i) the opening act, (ii) the members of a group/team, and/or (iii) the line-up of any multi-artist event (for example a festival) is not considered to be a material alteration.

11.4. In rare cases, the seats to which your tickets provide access, may not be available. For example (non-exhaustive list), because the seating plan has undergone modifications, because firefighters have ordered the closure of a part of the room,... In such circumstances, we might need to rebook your tickets. We will then endeavour to provide you with equivalent tickets. In any case, it is expressly stipulated here that all tickets of the same category or the same price range are of similar quality.
