Definitions

• Hall – the venue where the Performance takes place, i.e. the Earth Hall at the Poznań International Fair (MTP) in Poznań.
• Foyer – a rest area and food zone, available exclusively to participants, but located outside the Performance space.
• 24-hour Ticket – entitles the holder to commence participation in the Performance at any time during its duration. A holder of a 24-hour Ticket is authorised to use the Priority Queue upon each entry to the Hall. The ticket is exchanged for an Identification Wristband and is not subject to Time Slots.
• Time Slot Ticket – entitles the holder to the first entry to the Hall exclusively within the time interval specified on the ticket. Upon verification, the ticket is exchanged for an Identification Wristband. After entering within the assigned Time Slot, the Spectator may remain until the end of the Performance.
• Identification Wristband – both the 24-hour Ticket and the Time Slot Ticket are exchanged for a wristband assigned to one person. The wristband must not be removed, transferred, or shared. Damage, removal, or lack of a wristband may result in refusal of re-entry.
• Time Slot – the time interval during which the Spectator is entitled to first entry to the Hall.
• Control Coupon – entitles the holder to re-enter the Hall within 30 minutes of leaving it. Issued on site by staff upon exiting during the Performance.

What types of tickets are available and what do they allow?

Two types of tickets are available for the Performance.

A. 24-hour Tickets

A 24-hour Ticket allows entry at any time between 26 June (6:00 PM) and 27 June (6:00 PM). It remains valid for the entire duration of the Performance.

Holders:

• receive an Identification Wristband
• may use the Priority Queue at each entry
• may return to the Hall even after a break longer than 30 minutes (subject to event rules)

B. Time Slot Tickets

A Time Slot Ticket allows the first entry only within the 3-hour time interval indicated on the ticket.

After verification, the ticket is exchanged for an Identification Wristband linked to that Time Slot.

Once inside, the Spectator may remain as long as they wish – until the end of the Performance.

Entry is possible only between scenes (each lasting approx. 10 minutes).

After the Time Slot expires, it is still possible to leave the Hall for up to 30 minutes, provided a Control Coupon is obtained leaving without a Control Coupon or exceeding 30 minutes results in loss of the right to re-enter.

I have a Time Slot Ticket. How long will I wait to enter?

A Time Slot Ticket guarantees priority entry within your selected time interval. However, due to the structure of the Performance, entry takes place only between scenes (approx. every 10 minutes).
Short waiting times may occur.

Are the tickets available on site?

Yes.
Subject to availability, tickets may also be purchased at the Earth Hall during the Performance.
On-site purchase does not guarantee immediate entry. If the Hall is full, a queue applies.
Entry will be possible when seats become available, between scenes. Waiting time depends on current occupancy.

Can I leave and return?

Yes.
If you plan a short break, you must collect a Control Coupon from staff before leaving.
Returning within 30 minutes with a valid Control Coupon allows re-entry via the Priority Queue.
If your break exceeds 30 minutes, re-entry is subject to ticket conditions and current occupancy.

Can I attend only part of the Performance?

Yes.
The Performance lasts 24 hours, and Spectators may attend for any duration:

• a few scenes
• several minutes
• several hours
• or the full duration

Time Slot Ticket holders begin their visit within the time interval specified on their ticket.

When can I use the Priority Queue?

You may use the Priority Queue if:

• you hold a 24-hour Ticket (with Identification Wristband)
• you hold a Time Slot Ticket, have a valid Identification Wristband, and are returning within 30 minutes with a Control Coupon
• you hold a ticket marked OzN (persons with disabilities), applicable to both 24-hour and Time Slot Tickets

Can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

No.
Each ticket is exchanged for an Identification Wristband upon entry, which allows movement between the auditorium and the event area.

What if my wristband is damaged or lost?

Damage, removal, or lack of an Identification Wristband may result in refusal of re-entry to the Performance.

Are seats assigned?

No. All seating is unnumbered.
Availability depends on current occupancy.

Can I change seats during the Performance?

Yes.
You may change seats between scenes, subject to availability.

Can I leave my belongings in the auditorium?

Can I hold a place in the queue for someone else?
