In case of bad weather or technical issues:

The FIFO committee reserves the right to interrupt or cancel a performance if safety can no longer be guaranteed due to extreme weather conditions or insurmountable technical problems.

Unless in extreme cases, the shows will go on regardless of the weather. Please be prepared for rain (note that umbrellas are prohibited).

Show Tickets: If a performance were to be canceled or interrupted before half of the total duration of the show, tickets for that show would be automatically valid and exclusively for the rescheduled date. If it is not possible to offer a rescheduled date, the ticket price will be refunded by FIFO*, or the tickets will be exchanged free of charge for vouchers valid for the next edition. Refund or exchange conditions will be at the discretion of FIFO. However, train tickets and other travel expenses are not refundable. If a performance is interrupted after 50% of the total duration, it will be considered as played (no refund).

Pass: In case of cancellation before half of the total duration of the performance, CHF 35.- per pass and per cancellation will be refunded by FIFO*, or converted into a voucher valid for the next edition. Refund or exchange conditions will be at the discretion of FIFO. However, train tickets and other travel expenses are not refundable. If a performance is interrupted after 50% of the total duration, it will be considered as played (no refund).

*) If a refund is applicable, tickets along with bank account or postal details must be sent to the following address within 14 days after the date of the canceled or interrupted performance:

FIFO – Martigny
P.O. Box 473
1920 Martigny

In case of cancellation of the evening due to pandemic or force majeure reasons, the ticket will be refunded at 93% of its purchase value (after deduction of fees).

For all other measures, tickets are neither refundable nor exchangeable (cancellation insurance is not included in this service: it is the ticket holder’s responsibility to have one privately).

We hope, like you, that all upcoming festival performances will take place under ideal conditions.
