PURCHASE OF TICKETS AND PAYMENT

The capacity of the exhibition rooms is limited. You are recommended to reserve your tickets in advance online or at the dedicated ticket counters.

Tickets are valid for a maximum of 1 hour from the time of entry.
Tickets are valid for the indicated timeslot only.

Why the time limit?
Due to fire safety and safety reasons, the number of people allowed inside at a given time is limited. The time limit of 1 hour is necessary to facilitate the smooth operation of the exhibition so that the allowed number of visitors will not be exceeded. This is why we introduced the system of timeslots and limited the validity of tickets.
