Is it possible to cancel a ticket that has been ordered?

If the customer is a consumer in the terms of section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the customer can cancel the contract in writing (e.g. by post, fax or e-mail) within 2 weeks without having to provide any reason. Even within this cancellation period, cancellation is only possible until the point at which the ticket loses its validity.

How can online vouchers be redeemed?

An online voucher or online voucher number can be redeemed until October 9, 2024 using the following link: www.exporeal.net/ticket. You will then automatically be taken to the ticket ordering portal, where you can redeem your voucher for a free Print@home ticket. Online vouchers can only be redeemed for a ticket online and you will need to enter the online voucher number or use the online voucher link. The ticket is free to you as an invited visitor, as the costs of the ticket will be borne by the exhibitor from whom you received the invitation. Since the exhibitor will be charged only if you actually visit the trade fair and pass through the turnstile, you do not need to inform the ticket service or cancel your ticket if you do not use it.
