Foreword

You are using the FRANCE BILLET online ticket reservation service. The General Terms of Sale that apply to this ticket show sales and reservation service are those of FRANCE BILLET.

These terms apply and exclude any terms applicable at PARTNER points of sale. However, some of the activities offered, especially sporting ones, may also have their own terms or regulations that are specific to the Organiser or to the location involved and that are available from the relevant location and/or the Organiser.

FRANCE BILLET acts as an intermediary on behalf of FRANCE BILLET or the Organisers/Ticketing providers and on behalf of the latter. Consequently, these general terms of sale relate only to ticketing sales services and not to the show or event itself.

The tickets sold by Visitparisregion.com are reserved for private individuals.

Article 1 – Prices and numbers of seats

1.1 The price of show tickets (the face value) is shown in Euros inclusive of all taxes and excluding any charge for the handling and delivery fees stated below in Article 8.2. The price shown on the front of the ticket is the full price paid by the spectator. The price paid by the spectator cannot be changed without permission from the show organiser. The total number of seats in cumulative reservations per person cannot exceed the number of seats defined by the Organiser for all categories and failing this as defined by FRANCE BILLET. One person may not make a number of orders spread over time to work around this rule.

1.2 Different kinds of pricing may be offered depending on the event. Regarding group rates, when offered, a minimum number of seats as determined by the organiser is required (generally 15 to 20, unless exceptions apply).

1.3 For some shows, at the organiser's behest, you will receive countermarks instead of tickets: In this case, the actual tickets must be exchanged for the countermarks, at the venue entrance, 30 minutes before the start of the show.

1.4 Unless otherwise stated, the total number of seats reserved cumulatively, per person, cannot exceed:
- 15 for a single show.

Article 2 – Availability

Show ticket reservations are made in real time.

In this context, our server informs you in real time on the availability of tickets at the time when you place your order.
If there is no availability left in one of the types of seats requested, our server automatically offers you the best remaining seats.

Should the number of seats required exceed the number of seats left in the chosen category, taking primary account of the number of seats requested, you may be assigned seats in the desired category and in other categories, and the seats assigned to you may not be side by side.

Article 3 – Venue maps and seat locations

Depending on the configuration of the hall and the event, you may be offered the following seats:

  • Numbered seats
  • Seats in a variety of categories, each corresponding to different parts of the venue, that may or may not be numbered
  • Seats that are available throughout the venue

During your reservation, your seats may be shown on a venue map if one is available. Locations on this map are provided so that they are as representative as possible. However, depending on the true dimensions of the venue as shown on the map, the location may indicate a precise seat or an area of the venue where your seats are located.

Article 9 – Cancellation, refunds and use

9.1 Absence of any right of withdrawal.
In line with Article L 121-21-8 of the French Consumer Code, show tickets are not covered by any right of withdrawal.

9.2 A show ticket cannot be refunded even in case of loss or theft, nor can it be returned or exchanged, unless the show is cancelled. If the show is cancelled, only the price of the ticket will be refunded. This refund will be made only to the initial purchaser in exchange for the ticket. In all cases, no fees of any kind whatsoever will be refunded or compensated for.
In the same way, a ticket cannot be resold for a price that exceeds that shown on the front of the ticket itself. No duplicate ticket may be issued even in case of loss or theft.
At the entrance check on the way into the event location, valid photo ID may be requested of the ticket holder and must match the name on the ticket where there is one.

9.3 Events are held under the Organiser's sole responsibility. FRANCE BILLET cannot in any case be held liable.

Whatever the case, we encourage you to check 24 hours before your show is due to take place, that it is still scheduled without change, by phoning +33 (0)1.41.57.32.19 (local call charge in France) or by visiting one of our points of sale.
