Sadly, we do not live in Equestria, where rules and laws seem much, much more relaxed. Therefore we’ve prepared this list to keep everybody and everypony safe and sound while enjoying the meetup!
These rules are applicable within the entire area of the Winter Karaoke Party and may be changed without further notice. The attendees must read and respect these rules. Tirek didn’t and look where he is now.
In case of any questions, please let us know on our e-mail info@czskbronies.cz (in English, Czech or Slovak language).
Measures against Covid-19
There are currently no restrictions on social and cultural events. However, if you have symptoms of a potentially contagious illness (elevated temperature, runny nose, cough…), don’t put other attendees at unnecessary risk – you don’t want to celebrate Christmas by being sick either.
Entry and tickets
- You will be asked to present your ticket (English or Czech version – either printed on an A4 paper sheet, or displayed on a mobile device display) along with your ID (citizen ID, passport, or driving license) at the entrance. Afterward, you will be given your entry ticket/badge. Attendees under 15 years without accompaniment will present a “Form for admission” instead of an ID (see below).
- You should present your entry ticket whenever the organizers ask you.
- You may enter and leave the event with your entry ticket at any time during the program.
- Tickets are bound to the name and age of attendees. It’s possible to transfer the ticket to someone else, but the deadline is 2 days prior to the event start date!
- You can get a full refund for your ticket if you cancel it no later than 1 week prior to the event start date. Exceptions are sponsor and super-sponsor tickets which can be refunded until 4 weeks before event or in case of upgrade to higher tier ticket.
- It’s possible to buy the ticket for somebody else – simply fill in the details of the ticket holder.
- Children under 12 are admitted for free, however, they need adult accompaniment. In this case, please buy the ticket for the accompanying person, and in the “Note” field state “Accompaniment”, plus the number of kids who will you accompany (within reason – Fire and Safety regulations apply).
- There is a limit of one ticket per ticket holder. Although it would be nice to have a millionaire pay for all of them, having 1 person on the entire event would be rather… strange.
- We reserve the right to cancel and refund the ticket in any case. Although we do not expect to ever use this rule, it has to be there for legal reasons so yeah, here it is.
Attendees under 15 years of age
- CZ/SK bronies z.s., Winter Karaoke Party, or any of its staff cannot be held responsible for the behavior and actions of visitors that are inside the event grounds nor for any injuries or damages caused.
- Attendees under 12 years of age must be accompanied by a parent/responsible guardian.
- Attendees from 12 to 15 years may attend the event without their parent or responsible guardian however, they will have to present a signed letter (filled form for admission) from their parent. This letter includes the name and date of the event, the name and birth date of the attendee as well as the name and mobile phone contact of their parent. This letter will be required for obtaining your entry ticket at the entrance of the event.
- Form for admission of visitors from 12 to 15 years of age can be downloaded here.
Behavior – keep it cool!
- At all times, please adhere to instructions provided by the organizers and staff (volunteers).
- Winter Karaoke party is a family-friendly event – therefore no sexual, political, or otherwise inappropriate content should be displayed or featured. Breaking this rule will get you a swift ride out of the event grounds and ticket removal without a refund!
- Although the venue will be our own bit of Equestria for the day, the laws of the Czech Republic still apply and will be upheld. Breaking the laws will not be tolerated – this includes forbidden substances and symbols.
- Bins will be provided for the rubbish so thank you for using them! (don’t wear them as a hat though!)
- It’s forbidden to connect any electronic devices to power sockets without further consultation and permission from the staff.
- If you have a vendor pass, please do not sell goods outside of the assigned area or anywhere in the venue if you do not have vendor pass. Let’s keep it fair for those, who’ve paid and put a lot of effort into it!
- Please behave in a good manner towards the other attendees, staff, and guests – explaining a problem in a calm matter will get you further than shouting!
- Any violent threats against guests, organizers, or other attendees during the event or in advance will not be tolerated and may lead to the ticket removal without a refund!
Safety, Security, and Salmon
- You may use skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, and such as part of cosplay. However, it is forbidden to use them as a means of transportation.
- Emergency exits must not be obstructed at any time. During an emergency, please do as instructed by staff and clear out the way for emergency services.
- In case of fire, please let the staff and, if present already, fire services by shouting “FIRE!”. Do as instructed by the emergency services and don’t try to take on the fire on your own.
- All weapons and their real replicas are forbidden. This also applies to airsoft, paintball, and laser guns, or anything explosive (ie fireworks).
- LARP and safe-to-use soft weapons are allowed for cosplay purposes.
- Staff’s rulings on safety are always supreme. If you are unsure about your cosplay accessory, please contact us via email or via website/forum to make sure, thank you! You are saving us and yourself time in the case that we would have to disallow entry with a dangerous item.
- If you are found in possession of a weapon that is forbidden by the Czech Republic’s laws, we will be obligated to call the police and resolve the situation. There is no point in bringing such items to a My Little Pony event.
Food, drinks, and all sorts of hay
- There will be no paid-for catering in the venue available during the event. There is a restaurant next to the event building and a supermarket nearby where you can order/buy food and drinks.
- Own food and/or drinks are allowed at the event. When consuming, be sure to keep the place clean – any leftovers or packaging belong in the trash bins.
- Home-baked muffins and cupcakes/cookies for showcasing your baking skills to others are encouraged 🙂
General rules
- Everybody and everypony are responsible for their own stuff.
- Please try to follow the rule 6-2-1: at least 6 hours of sleep, at least two meals, and at least one shower every day. Also do not neglect to drink regularly. You will be able to enjoy the event more and the other participants as well.
- Drunk visitors or visitors under the influence of any drugs will be escorted out of the event and will lose their tickets. We would like to remind you, once more that all of the Czech Republic’s laws do apply on the event grounds, and breaking them, especially by consuming illegal drugs, will result in police calls.
- For smoking, please use designated areas outside the event building to not annoy other attendees! This applies also to water pipes/hookahs and electronic cigarettes.
- Live animals of all sorts including small pets are not allowed. The exception to this are guide animals for people with disabilities. In this case, please contact us in advance via e-mail at info@czskbronies.cz.
- The organizers and the volunteers are here to help – do not hesitate to ask them for advice, help, or to share a complaint. If an unusual situation occurs, please consult the staff rather than try to resolve it on your own. Thank you!
- Violating these rules may get you expelled from the event grounds without a chance for a refund or re-entry.
