      • I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MY TICKET AND I CANNOT FIND THE ANSWER ON THIS PAGE

        You can look for an answer on this FAQ: https://customerservice.paylog...

        If you still haven't found an answer you can submit a request to our ticket provider: https://customerservice.paylog...

      • I HAVE ORDERED, WHEN DO I GET A CONFIRMATION MAIL?

        The confirmation mail is sent immediately after completing the payment. It may take a few minutes before it reaches your email address inbox. If you did not receive it after 10 minutes, please check your spam folder as it might have ended up in there.

      • I DID NOT RECEIVE MY TICKETS, WHAT DO I DO?

        You can receive your tickets again by requesting it in this link!

        It may happen that you cannot find the confirmation email of your order. This email contains the link to download or retrieve your e-tickets.

        We recommend you to check your inbox thoroughly also including your “Spam” folder.

        Note: The confirmation and follow-up emails are sent to the email address that was used to place the order. Therefore, in case you have not received the notifications, you can try checking your other usual email accounts. It may happen that you placed the order using a different email.

      • I AM NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE MY ORDER.

        Unfortunately it is not possible to complete a halted order. It is not possible to redo a failed payment. Uncompleted orders will be canceled automatically after a few moments and the tickets held in the order will go back on sale right after. The best thing you can do is to try to place a new order.

        Here are some suggestions that will hopefully help you successfully place a new order. You can try to place the order using a different payment method, a different browser (in our experience, Google Chrome works best) or you can try again from a different computer/IP address.

        Sometimes you may have left the payment process due to a loading error, internet connection issue or a window that is accidentally closed.

        If you are in doubt if your order was completed keep the following in mind:

        • When an order is completed with payment, a confirmation email is sent to the email address that was used to place the order in a matter of minutes (exceptions to this are Bank Transfer and PayPal payments)
        • When an order is not completed with a payment, it expires and becomes automatically canceled. In this case, you should attempt placing a new order.
        • Debit card Payments (also via iDEAL and Bancontact/Mister Cash), when successful, are immediately reflected in your account. However, some delay for our account to receive it and emit the confirmation may exist.
        • It is not recommendable to perform numerous attempts without certainty of their success or failure.
