Shopping Process
- How can I order Tickets? Why can't I order my tickets by email?
- You can order tickets
a) online on www.oeticket.com or any of our partner ticketshops, if you need help please refer to shopping process help
b) by phone in our call center: +43 1 96 0 96
Please mind that we cannot accept orders by email (PCI compliance - for your own safety, sensitive data such as payment details should never be communicated by email).
- Why do oeticket tickets have another price as is given on the official website of the event?
- oeticket is responsible for the reservation, booking and delivery or provision of advance sale tickets. Therefore we charge advance sale and delivery or provision fees. Very often the ticket price without any fees is given on the official website of the event.
- When tickets are ordered by automatic bank debit transfer why does it take 7 days after a successful transfer for delivery or pick up?
- If incorrect information is given the bank can, according to bank statutes, re-call the amount transferred within 5 working days.
- Why can tickets only be picked up in the designated oeticket centres?
- The many sales outlets are licensees of the trade mark oeticket. Services (e.g. pick up of tickets ordered ) of the firm Ticket Express are only available in its own sales outlets.
Further information on pick up possibilities and a list of all oeticket centres can be found here.
- Why can I not order by automatic bank debit transfer from abroad?
- According to Austrian banking laws it is not possible to debit a foreign account automatically.
- Why can't I purchase Wheel Chair Tickets online?
- For technical reasons it is not possible for us at the moment to activate the ordering of tickets for wheelchair places directly on the internet. Information on wheelchair places and their availability can be obtained by phone under 01/96 0 96 (MON-SAT from 9 am to 9 pm, SUN as well as on public holidays from 10 am to 9 pm). Thank you for your understanding.
- Why do I have to enter my passport number for certain events? How do I correctly enter my number?
- Certain soccer matches require indication of a passport number. It serves your own security and prevents accidental booking of the wrong fan sector.
In this case, please enter your 9-digit passport number as indicated in bold letters in the example (1 letter + 8 digits). Please pay attention to the following points:
- Always only use the complete number at the very bottom of your passport (left hand side, in angle brackets).
- You must only enter 1 letter + 8 digits, i.e., 9 characters. Do not enter special characters such as “<” or “>.”
- Coming after a special character, the 8th digit is visually separated from the other digits and can easily be overlooked. However, it is crucial that this digit be entered. Only complete codes can be directly verified online.
- ONLY passport numbers may be used for registration. Please do not use driving license or ID card numbers!
- Why does oeticket not offer the possibility of pick up at the box office for all events?
- Due to the multitude of events that oeticket offers it is for organisational and promoter specific reasons not possible for all events.

Payment, Pickup and Delivery Methods
- Why can't I choose "cash in advance" with some Events?
- The „cash in advance“ option is not available when
· If you wish to buy tickets from abroad outside of EURO-zone (cash in advance is only available within EURO-zone) or
· the event will take place in less than 3 weeks. ( Because tickets chosen for cash in advance can only be sent after the amount is booked to our account we can only guarantee that you receive your tickets in time within this period.)
If you have chosen tickets for more than one event in one order it can also happen that this option is not available. This results from the combination of events chosen.
- I want to pay by credit card – where do I find the CVV / CVC verification code on my credit card? What is CVV/CVC?
- These are the verification codes of the credit card known as Card Value Verification (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC). Both expressions mean the same, Visa uses the term CVV and Mastercard the term CVC. The verification code is an additional security feature that is required by oeticket when tickets are bought over the phone or the internet. This is to ensure that the person ordering has the card in his possession.
The verification code can be found on the rear of the credit card as a small number in the signature field. The CVC / CVV code is the last group of digits (the last three digits ) in the series.
- Why are orders made by automatic debit transfer sent or respectively can be picked up only after 7 days?
- When incorrect information is provided the bank is authorised , according to bank statutes, to withdraw the amount to be debited within 5 working days.
- Why can tickets only be picked up in the designated oeticket centres?
- The many sales outlets are licensees of the trade mark oeticket. Services (e.g. pick up of tickets ordered ) of the firm Ticket Express are only available in its own sales outlets.

Loss / Theft / Cancellation
- I have lost my tickets or they have been stolen. Can you help me?
- Tickets are security papers – for which no replacement can be issued in case of loss or theft. If they are positively identifiable seat number tickets we can issue a seat confirmation which will allow admission to the event of your choice. For re-issuing tickets we charge a handling fee of EUR 15,-, furthermore in order to do so, we need an official notice of loss. In this case please contact us using our contact form or by telephone at +43 1 96096.
If they are standing room tickets/seats with open seating or seats that can not be positively identified ( tickets were sold to customers without customer data ) we unfortunately can not issue a replacement.
If they are print@home tickets the original ticket will be cancelled for a fee of € 5.- and a new will be issued. The old ticket then becomes invalid and will not be accepted by the electronic admission control.
Print@Home
- It is not possible for me to attend an event. Can I return the tickets?
- All tickets sales are fixed orders without the possibility of cancellation, unless you have complete oeticket sorgenfrei (possible for online & callcenter orders only). In this case, you get the value of the ticket excluding any delivery or other fees.
- Can I cancel my order?
- Your oeticket.com order (no matter whether via phone, Internet or personally at the ticket agency) is binding. It may only be cancelled under the conditions specified in the restricted legal terms and conditions (ABGB, KSchG), for example if you have been mislead in the course of placing your order or if the order was placed under duress. Please note: ticket orders are not subject to the Distance Selling Act. According to §5f. Nr. 7 BGBl I 185/1999, the Distance Selling Act does not apply to the supply of services concerning recreational activities such as concerts. I.e., there is no 7-day right of withdrawal and return.
- I only travelled to the venue because of an event that has been cancelled. Do I get a refund for my travel and accommodation expenses?
- Oeticket is only the ticket agency. We are not liable for refunding expenses. If you qualify for a refund, you have to file your request directly with the organizer of the event. Oeticket aims to inform you in time about changes or cancellations. However, we do not assume liability for this service.
- Can I change my order if there are significant changes in the event details?
- Reasonable, minor and objectively justified changes of cast or beginning of an event do not warrant a cancellation of the order. Orders may only be cancelled in the case of unacceptable, major or unobjective changes, for example if a headliner that has been announced does not appear or if the event is postponed. The organizer of the event decides if a refund is possible. Oeticket is only the ticket provider.
