Rules of participation at Comic-Con Prague


Please understand that it is important to establish some basic rules for Comic-Con Prague. Everyone is required to adhere to these rules in the interest of safety and as a courtesy to all participants. These rules have been set in accordance with the rules of the Czech fire department, the Czech police, the municipal police, the City Hall, and the owner of the venue.

Being unaware of the rules is not an excuse.
If there is anything that you are unsure of, if you spot an organisational mistake, if you see anyone breaking the event’s rules, or you have any special requests or complaints, please see the event organisers, who will be wearing special t-shirts. Our team will advise you, help you, and solve most things, if they are made aware of them in advance.

We will eject anybody who breaks the rules or does not behave accordingly from the event, in order to make the event more pleasant for its rule-abiding participants and organisers.

Thank you for your cooperation and for abiding by the rules of participation in this event.
Key rules
Should the Rules of participation at Comic-Con Prague contradict the Rules for guests at the O2 universum, the Rules of participation at Comic-Con Prague are final. Participants are required to:

  1. Know the rules of participation, as determined by the organiser of the festival and the owner of the O2 universum building, know the conditions of the services at their disposal, and abide by them.
    Through purchasing a ticket, festival participants are required to follow the rules of participation and the conditions of services provided. Participants should also be aware that serious or repeated breaches of the rules of participation will result in the ejection from the festival venue without a refund. Organisers are not responsible for damages to possessions and to the health of guests, especially if they are caused by breaking the rules of participation and safety.
  2. Respect and unconditionally follow the advice of festival organisers and employees of O2 universum.
    In the event of a dispute between a guest and an organiser or an employee of O2 universum about the interpretation of the rules, it will be solved by the Director of Comic-Con Prague or Deputy Directors and their decision is final.
  3. Follow fire and safety protocol.
    The participation of persons who are younger than 15 years old is permitted only with an adult (parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, group leaders etc.) or with the written consent of their legal representatives.

Costumes and their features cannot have sharp edges and parts that can be considered dangerous. Costumes will be judged individually at a special entrance to the venue. Should a dispute occur between a guest and a costume judge, the Head of security services at O2 universum will decide the outcome. Costume rejection is not a valid reason to seek a refund for entry tickets.
    Please use the changing rooms provided, and do not leave luggage and other items unattended. This is due to fire evacuation purposes, your own personal security, and the safety of everyone in the venue.
