These terms and conditions and policy on personal data (the "Terms") apply to ticket purchases made at Malmö Live Concert Hall’s ticket desks and purchases made via our e-commerce platform, which is made available via Malmö Live Concert Hall’s website ("E-commerce platform"). 

By agreeing to these Terms, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and/or are otherwise authorized to enter into a contract to purchase a ticket, and that you have read and understood these Terms and agree to our processing of personal data, as described. 

 

2.  Ticket purchase at a ticket desk 

Malmö Live Concert Hall’s ticket desk is intended primarily for use by consumers and for non-commercial use of tickets and other valuable documents. If you are interested in purchasing tickets from Malmö Live Concert Hall for distribution as part of business activities or for commercial purposes, please contact us by email, using the address provided at the end of this document. 

When you buy tickets at Malmö Live Concert Hall’s ticket desks, we will ask you to provide certain personal details, in order for example to be able to contact you regarding your visit. By making the purchase you accept this processing of your personal data. More information about our processing of your personal information relating to your purchase from the ticket desk is available in our policy on personal data, see section 7 of these Terms. 

In connection with your purchase at a ticket desk, you may be asked if you want to receive communications such as special offers and newsletters from Malmö Live Concert Hall. You can also subsequently unsubscribe from such communications by contacting us or clicking on a link in the email. 

Supplementary terms and conditions apply to ticket purchases made via the E-commerce platform; more information about these is available in sections 3-6. 

 

3.  Ticket purchase online (e-commerce platform) 

When you purchase tickets via Malmö Live Concert Hall’s E-commerce platform, create an account, fill in your details and click the box that says "Yes, I have read and accept the terms and conditions' policy on personal data and general terms and conditions for ticket purchases", you agree to these Terms and create a user account for the E-commerce platform ("User Account"). In doing so, you also give your consent for the Malmö Live Concert Hall to process your personal data in accordance with our policy on personal data, which among other things means that Malmö Live Concert Hall may contact you with information about your upcoming visit and with related news and information. The policy on personal data is available in section 7 of these Terms. 

With your User Account, you can, for example, purchase tickets, pay of reservations, collect and share paid tickets, view the history of your previously purchased tickets, tell us what you are interested in and change your personal information or unsubscribe from, communication such as, newsletters. 

The E-commerce platform and opportunities for purchasing tickets via it are designed for use by private individuals and is mainly intended for individuals (consumers) or specifically authorized traders. A user is thus expressly prohibited from using the User Account for commercial purposes by, for example, sublicensing the User Account or by purchasing tickets for further sale by a business or for other commercial purpose, except as expressly permitted by these Terms. 

 

4.  Purchases that contravene the Performing Arts Companies' terms and conditions 

Malmö Live Concert Hall reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to terminate a user's User Account, block the user, stop the user purchasing tickets and/or cancel or block already purchased tickets if Malmö Live Concert Hall consider that the user has violated or will violate these Terms. A breach of the Terms may result from, for example, the user copying protected intellectual property, buying tickets that are then sold in a commercial business in violation of these Terms, or otherwise violating, or attempting to circumvent, the terms and conditions for purchasing tickets. 

When a ticket is blocked it becomes unusable and loses its value. In the case of cancellations for the above reasons, the associated service charge that has been paid and possible distribution and delivery charges are not refunded. Malmö Live Concert Hall can also decide to not refund the ticket price that has been paid. If the event has restrictions on the number of tickets per purchase and customer, this maximum quantity may not be exceeded or circumvented. 

The user is responsible for ensuring that his or her user ID and password for the User Account are stored safely and that no unauthorized person can access the information. 

Users are always entitled to terminate their User Account by sending written notice to the email address defined at the end of this document. 

 

5. Changes, refunds & cancelled events 

5.1 For private consumers the following applies: 

A booking can be cancelled until payment has been made. The rules of the Swedish Distance Contracts Act on withdrawal do not apply to the purchase of tickets for events. Once payment has been made, you as a customer are bound by your purchase, unless otherwise stated in these Terms or in applicable law. 

Tickets that have been bought are not refunded, unless the show/concert is cancelled. In such cases, the customer shall submit a repayment claim to the company from which the ticket was bought, no later than one (1) month from the date of the event/date on which the event was due to take place. If this does not occur, the customer is not entitled to a refund. This applies both to a cancelled event and in cases in which the ticket was cancelled and the customer was entitled to a refund. Service and distribution fees are not refunded in the case of a cancelled event. 

However, already purchased tickets can be exchanged for tickets for a different concert or a different performance of the production for which the ticket is valid. Such changes are conducted, subject to availability, at the latest three working days before the day of the concert/performance. An additional charge of 30 SEK per ticket will be levied. Such rights to change do not apply to tickets for concerts provided by external organizers or group tickets. Special rules apply to subscriptions and packages etc. 

Lost tickets will not be replaced. Tickets purchased via Malmö Live Concert Hall’s E-commerce platform are stored on my pages and you as a customer can print your tickets and share them. 

The customer is responsible for checking that the performance/concert has not been cancelled or postponed. In the event of a cancelled or postponed event, the customer should immediately contact the responsible seller of the ticket, as it is that company’s responsibility to handle questions about refunding tickets. 

The tickets are not personal, so a consumer who does not use the purchased ticket has the right to sell it to another person. 

Please note in this context that Malmö Live Concert Hall are not responsible for tickets that are purchased from persons or organizations other than Malmö Live Concert Hall. 

There may be other or additional rules and regulations that apply to purchases made by consumers.
