  2. Performances covered
  Subscriptions relate to series of performances as detailed in the publications of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions cannot be used to obtain seats for external or 'one-off' events, performances of THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG, performances by the Staatsballett Berlin or specially priced events. A subscription entitles the holder only to a single seat at any of the performances attended.
  
  3. Subscription agreement
  The Deutsche Oper Berlin rents seats to interested parties, who, by signing the agreement, enter into a legal contract and become subscribers. The subscriber rents the seat(s) for the duration of the season and is liable to the Deutsche Oper Berlin for the full price of the subscription covering the performances relating to that subscription. There are no reimbursements for performances not attended.
  
  Before tickets for the next season go on general sale each subscriber will be sent information on subscription renewals and prices.

  6. Programme alterations
  In cases where, due to unforeseeable circumstances, the Deutsche Oper Berlin is unable to honour a particular date covered by the subscription as a result of a change of programme or the cancellation of a performance, the Opera reserves the right to specify a replacement date. Where the staging of a production or any other technical/organisational imperative prevents subscribers from occupying their rightful seats, tickets for replacement seats will be issued.
