If flexibility is important to you, we offer a special ticket insurance called "Flex Dance" that you can purchase during the ordering process. The option of ticket insurance: Flex Dance allows you to transfer the ticket to another person (only ONCE possible) for the festival of the respective year or to use it ONCE for the festival in the following year. This regulation does not apply to hotel bookings and other costs incurred in connection with the festival (these are not covered by Flex Dance). A refund of the purchase price is also excluded with Flex Dance.
If you cannot attend the festival and wish to make use of the Flex Dance option, it is mandatory to inform us in writing by NO LATER THAN 8:00 PM on October 13, 2023.

Pickup and Use of Tickets
Tickets can be purchased on-site, subject to availability. The purchaser is responsible for the proper storage of the ticket. The organizer is not liable for lost tickets and does not provide replacement tickets. Misuse, copying, or alteration of the tickets is prohibited. By using the ticket, the user accepts the house rules of the Hilton Hotel in Düsseldorf. All pass forms are issued as control wristbands on-site. These must be worn throughout the entire festival and presented on demand. Removed or cut wristbands lose their validity. Replacement wristbands are not provided.
The festival organizer verifies the identity of the festival visitor when checking the tickets. If you cannot present a valid identification document, security is entitled to deny you access to the festival. Valid identification documents include an ID card, passport, or driver's license. Copies will not be accepted. If you are caught with a forged identification document, this will be treated as identity fraud and you will be denied entry to the festival.

Event Cancellation, Changes, Refunds
Changes to the program (dance teachers, workshops, shows, etc.) are reserved. Modification of Workshop Schedule: The Salsa Festival reserves the right to modify the workshop schedule at its own discretion. Changes will be communicated in advance whenever possible. The festival cannot be held liable for resulting inconveniences or claims. Artist Cancellations: The Salsa Festival reserves the right to make changes to the artist lineup, including artist cancellations. These changes will be announced in a timely manner whenever possible. Any financial claims by participants due to artist cancellations are excluded.
"Pandemic" addition: In case the festival cannot take place due to authorities' directives, participants will be offered options for refund or transferring their tickets to next year's event, as communicated on the website and via email. Participants must choose one of the offered options within 14 days after the festival's cancellation, or their entitlement to a refund will expire. Personal reasons such as illness or requirements from employers on the participant, or travel restrictions within Germany imposed by governments and authorities, do not justify a claim for ticket return and refund. During the period of official pandemic restrictions, the following applies: If individual parts of the event are canceled due to official regulations or economic considerations of the organizer, the ticket remains valid and can be used for the festival the following year. This also applies to all situations caused by force majeure.
