Shopping Process
Open/Close section
- Why do ÖsterreichTicket tickets have another price as is given on the official home page of the event?
- ÖsterreichTicket is responsible for the reservation, booking and delivery or provision of advance sale tickets. Therefore we charge advance sale and delivery or provision fees. Very often the ticket price without any fees is given on the official home page of the event.
- Why can’t I find the event of my choice in the category search?
- Because of the merging of several systems it can happen in the first few months of the new platform that not all events are shown in the right categories. Therefore please always try the quick search or the detailed search without the use of category if you can’t find an event under category
- Why can't I purchase Wheel Chair Tickets online?
- For technical reasons it is not possible for us at the moment to activate the ordering of tickets for wheelchair places directly on the internet. Information on wheelchair places and their availability can be obtained telephonically at 01/96 0 96 (MON-FRI from 9 to 5 o’clock) or by e-mail at order@oeticket.com. Your request will be processed at the latest on the next working day. Thank you for your understanding.

Payment, Pickup and Delivery Methods
Open/Close section
- I want to pay by credit card – where do I find the CVV / CVC verification code on my credit card? What is CVV/CVC?
- These are the verification codes of the credit card known as Card Value Verification (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC). Both expressions mean the same, Visa uses the term CVV and Mastercard the term CVC. The verification code is an additional security feature that is required by ÖsterreichTicket when tickets are bought over the phone or the internet. This is to ensure that the person ordering has the card in his possession.
The verification code can be found on the rear of the credit card as a small number in the signature field. The CVC / CVV code is the last group of digits (the last three digits ) in the series. - Why can tickets only be picked up in the designated ÖT centres?
- The many sales outlets are licensees of the trade mark Österreich Ticket. Services (e.g. pick up of tickets ordered ) of the firm Ticket Express are only available in its own sales outlets.
- Why does ÖsterreichTicket not offer the possibility of pick up at the box office for all events?

- The „cash in advance“ option is not available when
· If you wish to buy tickets from abroad ( cash in advance is only available within Austria) or
· the event will take place in less than 3 weeks. ( Because tickets chosen for cash in advance can only be sent after the amount is booked to our account we can only guarantee that you receive your tickets in time within this period.)
If you have chosen tickets for more than one event in one order it can also happen that this option is not available. This results from the combination of events chosen.
- Why are orders made by automatic debit transfer sent or respectively can be picked up only after 7 days?
- When incorrect information is provided the bank is authorised , according to bank statutes, to withdraw the amount to be debited within 5 working days.

In this case please contact us at order@oeticket.com or by telephone at +43 1 96096.
