Please note that the distance selling law does not apply to ticket-only purchases. The reason is that sports, leisure, and cultural events of any kind cannot be planned or operated economically if a two-week right of withdrawal and return were granted. The legislator recognizes this as well, which is why the distance selling law explicitly does not apply to contracts between you and the event organizer for the provision of services in leisure activities (Section 312b (3) No. 6 of the German Civil Code – BGB).
