10. Vouchers
10.1. General information
All products and services from KKL Luzern and any associated online orders, as well as other online services, are subject to these terms and conditions (T&Cs) of KKL Luzern. Different and/or supplementary agreements require the explicit agreement of the management of KKL Luzern, also in written form. Voucher codes from KKL Luzern are generated and issued by the E-GUMA® voucher management system.
10.2. Purchase options
KKL vouchers can be bought as depot vouchers (printed) or as print@home vouchers (in an A4 PDF file). Purchasing can be made on www.kkl-luzern.ch, at the ticket sales counter and from the KKL ticket hotline.
10.3. Delivery options
KKL vouchers can be purchased on site at the KKL Luzern ticket counter. The ‘mailing’ delivery option (KKL will send the voucher in the post) or the ‘print@home’ delivery option (customer prints voucher themselves) can also be selected.
10.4. Redeeming options
KKL vouchers can be redeemed on the www.kkl-luzern.ch website in an online ticket purchase. They can also be redeemed when purchasing tickets on site (ticket sale counter) or via telephone (KKL ticket hotline). The KKL vouchers are also valid at the following restaurants and bars at KKL Luzern: Restaurant Lucide, Seebar, Deli Cafébar Le Piaf, and the Café in the museum of art. The vouchers are not redeemable at the concert bar. The vouchers can also be redeemed with the following partners - but only when sending them in the post when making the ticket order: Lucerne Festival, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Obrasso Classic Events, World Band Festival, Swiss Classics and LZ Corner.
10.5. Validity
Vouchers from KKL Luzern are valid for ten years. The period of validity of a voucher is indicated on both the print@home and depot voucher formats. After this period expires, KKL Luzern is no longer obliged to accept the vouchers. Lost vouchers will not be replaced. Vouchers cannot be redeemed for their cash value or be exchanged. Should the value of the voucher be more than the sum it covers, the remaining value will stay on the voucher and the customer can use it to make future purchases from KKL Luzern. There is no right to a residual payment of the outstanding voucher amount in this case.
The purchased voucher will only be activated and thus redeemable when KKL Luzern has received payment. KKL Luzern is not obliged to accept vouchers unpaid for as a means of payment. When purchasing a ticket, the KKL voucher must be redeemed during the ticket purchase. A subsequent crediting of a KKL voucher for a ticket that has already been paid for is not possible.
10.6. Online vouchers
Please note with online vouchers that these are delivered by KKL Luzern to customers with a forgery-proof code. Because the customer can print the voucher themselves, several prints are possible, but only one print will have any value and can be redeemed. The first voucher redeemed with an appropriate code by the E-GUMA® voucher management system is regarded as the original and must be debited immediately by KKL Luzern after it is redeemed. Should several copies with the same code appear, an abuse with criminal consequences may have occurred. There is no entitlement for the voucher to be honoured and/or delivered, or for damages to be paid on behalf of KKL Luzern, should someone attempt to redeem multiple certificates with the same code, even if the first person to redeem the voucher is not the legal owner of it. Rather, a criminal investigation (forgery) can be launched immediately against the person who attempted to defraud with the voucher. As a voucher, can be passed, or given away, there is no obligation or possibility for KKL Luzern to verify the ownership of the person redeeming the voucher. Upon redeeming, the only check is whether the corresponding E-GUMA® voucher number is approved by the system and whether the corresponding voucher has been paid for.
10.7. Fees
You can choose between making a payment by invoice or credit card. If you pay by credit card, the amount will be charged immediately to the credit card you select. Invoices from KKL Luzern are due immediately and must be paid without any deduction. For both payment options, there are no fees levied by KKL Luzern. There are also no fees for the delivery of vouchers, either by mail or print@home.
10.8. Right of cancellation
There is no right of cancellation for vouchers, which are paid for and printed out online. Vouchers paid for by invoice can be cancelled within 24 hours and must be returned within three working days (from the date of issue) to the issuer in original packaging.
10.9. Defects
KKL Luzern will punctually comply with arranged or specified delivery times, when possible. Complaints due to delivery contents, material defects, wrong deliveries and incorrect quantities are, insofar as these are identified through reasonable examinations, to be made promptly by writing - no later than within one week after receipt of the goods or vouchers. KKL Luzern will heed legitimate complaints by correcting the faulty delivery for free and in addition, on the condition that you have no right to choose, offer to exchange vouchers, provide a refund or a discount to the buyer. Should an E-GUMA® voucher have been exchanged and the replacement voucher also be defective, the buyer is entitled to a conversion or price reduction.
11. Miscellaneous
The KKL Luzern Management AG reserves the right to set a purchasing quota (number of tickets per person) for tickets. Once the event has started, entry is only possible during a suitable break in the programme. If you arrive after the beginning of the event, then you lose your entitlement to the seat you have reserved, but you still have the right to attend the event.
12. Personal data
Personal data is not passed on to third parties and is used only for the internal purposes of KKL Luzern Management AG. KKL Luzern Management AG can pass specific data about ticket buyers of an event to the organiser of the particular event, due to the contractual relationship between the ticket buyer and the organiser.
13. Amendments to the terms and conditions
The KKL Luzern Management AG reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions at any time. Modifications will be made available on the website, www.kkl-luzern.ch and shall become effective upon their publication.

These remain in effect for the relevant contract, even if there should later be a change in the terms and conditions.
14. Final provisions
Should any provision of this general terms and conditions be or become invalid or should there be a loophole in the contract, so the validity of the other provisions shall remain unaffected. Instead of the invalid provision, an effective provision shall be deemed to have been agreed upon that comes closest to the intention of the parties; the same applies in the event of a loophole.
