Unless you can provide proof of buying the tickets, you, a family member, or a friend, we have no obligation to assist you in any way. If you resell your ticket, you forfeit your rights. Tickets in Romania have taxes. Unless you have a contract with us allowing you to sell our tickets, those are not resellable.
As a ticket buyer, you hold the right of complaint on all the tickets bought! If you are not the buyer but the ticket holder, you need to ask the buyer to formulate a complaint with the proof of acquisition of the tickets for the ticket! All eTickets have the name of the buyer on them, the buyer is our customer and he holds the rights to complaints.
Electronic Tickets are non-refundable and you cannot resell them. We understand that sometimes, unplanned things happen, but since the risk of fraud is too high, we reserve the right to cancel any ticket that is present on platforms like OLX, lajumatate, publi24, viagogo, okazii, or any other website. Read the disclaimer on the ticket for more.
Tickets for events or concerts are not subject to the EU 14 Days guarantee return policy!
When you buy online, you have a general right to cancel without having to give a reason under the Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU (CRD). However, this right to withdraw (known as the 14-day cooling off period) does not apply to certain leisure activities that take place on a specific date or period of performance. This includes ticket sales for events.
You are not entitled to a refund if you change your mind about going to the event or you can no longer go. Your right to cancel depends on the trader's cancellation policy. Check the terms and conditions of the contract and follow the cancellation procedure (if there is one).
There may be restrictions on whether you are allowed to resell the ticket to someone else. The ticket may be subject to conditions that it cannot be transferred to someone else and can only be used by the person whose name is on it. Some official ticket sellers have fan-to-fan exchange systems or partnership with other online ticket marketplaces. Check the ticket seller's website for the terms and conditions of resale.
eTickets are sent to you as PDF attached in an email which you need to have already opened on your mobile or print out and bring them with you at the event. Most of our clients receive their PDF tickets within 3-5 minutes if the payment is completed. If your ticket has not arrived even after 24 hours of having placed the order, please contact Entertix team at [email protected] or by phone +4 0748-110-111. Most of the time it is due to the customers misspelling their email, or the email being categorized as Spam/Junk. If you have proof of payment for the ticket, you may also come to the entrance point of the event, look for the Entertix team, and they will help you.
ONE General Access Ticket can be used by only ONE person for ONE DAY unless it's a 3 Days Ticket, then it can be used by ONE person to receive an access bracelet for all 3 days. ABONAMENT or 3 DAYS TICKET can be used for all 3 days of the event.
General Access tickets provide you access to the event perimeter of our event, including access to the Panels (Q&A / Talks) with the actor present at the event. However, access to an area is subject to the rules and regulations of the event and Romanian Law. In some intervals, some areas can become very crowded, which would require us to limit access to those already present in that area. By buying a ticket, you agree with the above statement.
ONE General Access Ticket grants you ONE Access Wristband, which will grant you access to the event for the duration of the entire schedule of that day (If 3 Day pass, then 3 days). Take care of it, do not cut it, do not take it off. Taking it off will mean forfeiting the right to access the event. If a person decides to leave the event area, they would not be able to return with the used ticket.
Children under 6 years old have free access under the following rule: 1 Child + 1 Adult holder of General Access Ticket / 2 Children + 2 Adults holder of General Access Ticket. In this case, he receives a wristband if the parent allows it. Children under 4 years old are not required to wear the wristband.
The festival will have some areas that are not suitable for children, so any person under 14 should be accompanied by an adult. We highly recommend that parents attend the event along with their kids; after all, it can be fun for everyone regardless of their age.
ALL CHILDREN UNDER 14 YEARS OLD MUST BE ACCOMPANIED AT ALL TIMES BY A MAJOR ADULT OR A PARENT. East European Comic Con has no responsibility if any harm has come to the child. Be aware EECC is a crowded event!

The email must be sent at least 30 days before the event.
The deadline for requesting a disability-free entrance is 30 days before the event.
Pets (Animals) are forbidden at the event unless they are trained assistance dogs.
*An assistance dog is a dog trained to aid or assist a person with a disability.
Autographs or Photo Ops Tickets DO NOT INCLUDE General Access Tickets. Photo Op and Autograph tickets are an extra service for those who attend EECC and have bought or hold a General Access Ticket.
Autograph or Photo Op must be purchased as additional tickets online. We only sell them online to facilitate refund in case such refund is needed. General Access tickets are available in Carturesti stores, Entertix, and on our website or at the event, at EECC Ticket point.
Yes, you can buy Photo Op and Autograph before buying a General Access ticket, but you need a General Access ticket to use the Photo Op and Autograph tickets. We cannot guarantee that you will find a general access ticket for the exact session and day you want to attend if you don't buy it as soon as possible. Be sure of which day and session a guest is doing photo ops/autographs before purchasing your admission tickets.
At the request of our celebrities, we limit the number of people in a picture with an actor to four. We make NO exceptions to this rule. Only ONE person can be in a photo-op for the price of one photo op bought. For four customers, you would need four photo op purchases. One child under 6 can take the picture together with one Adult holder of a photo op purchase.
Please do not wear glasses as sometimes glare effect will occur. Retakes are only possible if the actor's photo op sessions are not sold out.
