Dear Guests!

 

Thank you for visiting our event. We wish you a great time. The followings are guidelines and rules of the festival. By purchasing the ticket, visitors must accept the rules of the festival. They also must acknowledge that these rules will be enforced. Daily tickets are valid for multiple entries each day within opening hours.

 

Festival Opening Hours:

Cashier closes one hour beforethe close of the Festival.

 

In case the number of maximum visitors stated in the security plan is reached, security staff will only allow new visitors to enter upon other visitors leaving. This rule applies for visitors carrying all kinds of tickets and passes including daily tickets, discount tickets and passes. Tickets will not be refunded! Passes will be exchanged for wristbands upon first entrance. Once placed on, wristbands are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you remove, tear, damage or lose your wristband, we will not replace it. Wristbands must be worn at all times duringthe festival, and visitors must show them to members of the staff upon request. Forgery of tickets will be prosecuted. Visitors under 18 will not receive a glass. Children under 14 may enter free of charge. Children under 14 may enter only with an adult, and must be supervised by an adult at all times during the festival.

 

The hellopay® card is the Budapest Pálinka Festival’s cash-free means of payment. All Guests may receive a hellopay® card at the top-up points in exchange for a 500 HUF deposit, which has a balance of zero Hungarian Forints. Cards become active subsequent to their first top-up or registration.

The balance on the card can be refunded at the event site, during the event’s opening hours at a hellopay® top-up points. Users who fail to refund the balance of their cards during the event have the opportunity to refund it within 6 months of the final card transaction at the hellopay® top-up point of Akvárium Klub (Budapest, V. Erzsébet square) or shop with it any other participating business, yet the card deposit fee cannot be refunded and thus they are unable to be reimbursed of the 500 HUF card usage charge and instead may use the card at participating businesses. Users who register their cards at the event are also UNABLE to refund the card usage charge at the top-up points of the event. The balances of cards registered at the event can still be refunded by users at hellopay® top-up/refund point. Users who do not register their card at the event can refund the balance of the card until the end of the event and if they return the cards intact, in which case they will be reimbursed the 500 HUF charge.
