When the organization spots or confirms any infringements, the offender can be handed over to the police. When the delinquent is being caught he/she will be transferred over to the police. Before entering the event you will be able to deposit drugs in the designated drug bins without being charged with any consequences.
The house rules apply to each of our events. Please read these carefully. It contains, for example, what is forbidden to bring inside, such as balaclavas, steel body chains & more!
During the event, all lost & found items are collected at the merchandise stand. You can always check there if anything has been found!
All items that are not collected will be taken to our office in the week after the event. You can email us at [email protected] to check if your lost items are there. The items can then be collected from our office. Any loss of your items on an event is your own responsibility.
If we haven’t found your items, you can also check with the venue itself just to be sure!

Unfortunately if the event is sold out, it is not possible to purchase tickets through Eventix our ticketing platform. You can visit www.tixel.com to join the waitlist, pre-authorise your card or safely purchase a resale ticket.
What are ‘sealed tickets’ and why can’t I download the tickets?
Verknipt switched to a new and safer kind of tickets: sealed tickets. These tickets can only be viewed and downloaded shortly before the event. When it’s time to download your tickets, you will get a notification by email from Eventix (our ticket provider). If you’ve purchased tickets for a group of people, you’ll be able to assign the tickets or send them to your friends once they are available for download.
Why does Verknipt have ‘sealed tickets’?
Verknipt uses these sealed tickets because the ticket sale will be fairer. By using these tickets, it makes it impossible for scammers to resell their tickets through unofficial third parties/secondary markets. Tickets can only be sold through our verified partner ‘Tixel’. Through their integration with Eventix they exchange the ticket for a brand new one, so the buyer has a 100% chance to get into the event with the ticket. Also, it is not possible for sellers to ask more than 120% of the price through Tixel, so the ticket will always be sold for a fair price.
Can I scan my tickets on my phone?
Yes. Make sure to put the brightness of your phone on 100%.
I can’t find my ticket?
No worries! You can find your ticket through this link: https://eventix.nl/search. Still can’t find your ticket? Please contact: [email protected]
I’ve bought a locker ticket online and I did not receive an e-mail one day before the event from the locker company?
No worries, there will be a locker desk available at the festival. Make sure to show them your locker ticket and they will help you right away!
Can I cancel my ticket?
It is not possible to cancel your tickets. Choose a reliable platform to resell your ticket such as: www.ticketswap.nl or sell your ticket to your friends!
The event has been cancelled, what happens now?

Further instructions will be given through email, please wait patiently for this.
When will I receive my refund?
The process of refunding your ticket will be approximately 5 business days after confirmation.
Is it possible to resell my ‘sealed tickets’?
Yes, if you decide to sell your ticket for this event, it is only possible to do so through our verified partner ‘Tixel’. You need your confirmation email to view your order. At the bottom of your order you will find a blue button, click the button to resell the tickets on Tixel. This is the only way you can resell your tickets. Want to know more? This is how it works.
Keep in mind that the maximum asking price for a resold ticket is 120% of the original ticket price and that selling your ticket(s) to a new visitor always happens through Tixel’s secure platform. After selling, you can no longer use the ticket as it will be declared invalid.
Setting up an auto-purchase on Tixel
To give yourself the best chance of getting a ticket you can set up an auto-purchase on Tixel by clicking ‘join the waitlist’ then ‘set up auto-purchase’. Select the ticket you want, the quantity and then the price you are willing to pay up to a maximum of 20% above the original face value. If another fan lists a ticket, you’ll automatically purchase it if your price matches theirs. You can choose when your auto-purchase expires, and your card won’t be charged after that.

As you can read above, we only work with sealed tickets. This means that our tickets are only sent out shortly before the event (usually one day before), which prevents a lot of scammers. But still it sometimes happens that one of our visitors gets scammed, because the tickets for our events are so wanted. We find this very inconvenient and we would like to warn you for this!
Tixel is the only 100% safe way where you can buy your ticket. On this platform, we exchange your ticket for a new one, so that the old one can no longer be used.
Unfortunately, we can NOT check if you bought a valid ticket second-hand, when you for example make a sale outside of Tixel.
Ways people unfortunately still get scammed:
– A PDF ticket is being sold. That’s not even possible, because our tickets are sealed. The PDF or it’s barcode are probably fake.
– A “private” sale is being done, where you have to pay extra before you can see your ticket. But you never receive the ticket, or they send you a fake one.
– The ticket buying page of the resale platform is counterfeited, causing you to make a payment on a website that is not secure (does not exist), or a payment link that is not linked to that website. You never receive the ticket, or they send you a fake one.
Watch out, and beat the scammers!
