The PURCHASER’s inability to attend the Barça Immersive Tour throughout the effective period of the ticket, for reasons beyond the control of FC BARCELONA and/or any error in making the purchase, will not be valid reasons for requesting a refund of the amount of the tickets.

4.1 Through the Website and the App, the BUYER can purchase the exclusive visit service called “CIUTAT ESPORTIVA JOAN GAMPER TOUR”; this type of visit has a number of special features:
-
The Tour dates and times are subject to the availability of the Ciutat Esportiva itself, so no modification or alteration of the schedule planned for the visits is permitted. Furthermore, these visits do not take place on a regular timetable, they are only scheduled and organised by FC BARCELONA on the days and times when the facilities are available to visit.
-
The reservation made by each BUYER through the Website is subject, in addition to these specific conditions, to the general conditions and, therefore, all of these conditions are applicable.
4.2. Information on the acquired event.
All the information necessary to enjoy the event is detailed in the product description that appears both on the Website and in the confirmation e-mail that will be sent to you by FC BARCELONA. This e-mail will detail: the meeting point, the date and the time when you should be picked up by the transportation service.
FC BARCELONA will provide the BUYER by e-mail with proof of purchase or a reservation voucher for the contracted service so that the BUYER can present it to the accredited personnel for the purposes of validating their ticket and being able to access the purchased Tour.
The BUYER must be punctual and appear at the meeting point at the time and date indicated on their voucher, since the event is scheduled to start at a specific time and it is not possible to modify the start time.
Remember that the bus will be at the pick-up point and the maximum waiting time will be 15 minutes. After that time, the bus will leave for its destination and the BUYER will lose his or her right to participate in the activity, without having the right to the refund of any amount. The round trip transfer is included in the service and except under verifiable circumstances due to force majeure that makes said transfer impossible, it is mandatory for the BUYER to use this service; as a result, access to the Ciutat Esportiva facility and the guided tour may be denied to anyone who does not use this means of transport. Keep in mind that the transport is part of the contracted experience and also guarantees the safety and control of all participants.
4.3 Complementary Transport Information:
There are no extra charges for luggage: The prices established on the FC BARCELONA Website are final and do not have any supplement for carrying luggage, as long as it can fit in the reserved vehicle. The price indicated on the Website is per person.
Private service: The transfer service offered by FC BARCELONA is private, so the vehicle can only be used by the BUYER and those who have contracted this service.
Vehicle seats: The number of seats indicated on the Website is the maximum number of people who can travel in the vehicle, besides the driver. Please note that children occupy a space just like adults.
Responsibility for the transfers: Notwithstanding the provisions established under Point 5.5., the BUYER understands and accepts that this service is carried out through the transport company specifically designated by FC BARCELONA for the provision of said transport service, with it being the only party responsible for the transfers to the Ciutat Esportiva, thus making FC BARCELONA exempt from any liability derived from these transfers.
4.4. Cancellation policy.
In compliance with the provisions of both Directive 2011/83 of the European Union, and Article 103 of Law 3/2014, of 27 March, which modifies the consolidated text of the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary laws, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, of 16 November, the acquisition of the CIUTAT ESPORTIVA JOAN GAMPER TOUR Product is a recreational activity scheduled with a specific date and time, so it is expressly excluded from the right of withdrawal by consumers and users.

-
Delays or errors committed by the BUYER related to arrival at the event meeting point on the date and time specifically chosen from among those available.
-
Cases in which the guide/driver denies the BUYER access to the event when the BUYER does not have the corresponding voucher printed on paper and/or downloaded on a mobile phone.
-
Any damages that the BUYER may suffer during the transfer and that will correspond in all cases to the bus company hired specifically to carry out the transportation service.
-
The missing of flights, trains, buses or any other means of transportation, as a consequence of the duration of the event being extended for any reason. The BUYER is solely responsible for knowing the departure time of his/her flight/train/bus and matching it with the timetable of the indicated event.
-
The loss, for any reason, of luggage or personal belongings that may have been deposited in the transport vehicle, given that the company in charge of transport is responsible for any incident that might occur inside the vehicle.
4.6 Express prohibition on image capture
Neither the BUYER nor any of the accompanying persons may capture images of any kind and therefore may not use, publish or/or disseminate photographs for promotional or any other purposes.
Unless expressly authorised by the guides responsible for the visit, the taking of photographs in which FC BARCELONA workers appear (employees, technical staff, players, etc.) is strictly prohibited and may be grounds for expulsion from the facilities.

7. ON THE USE OF PURCHASED TICKETS.

The ticket(s) acquired by this means must be safeguarded as if they were cash until the day of the visit.

Failure to comply with this prohibition will legitimise FC BARCELONA for the disuse of the ticket(s) and to take as many legal actions as it deems appropriate to claim the damages and losses that such behaviour may have caused to FC BARCELONA.
