A visitor may enter the premises of O2 universum and move within such premises only with valid ticket (accreditation). Entry and stay of each visitor is strictly regulated according to ticket (accreditation) type held by the particular visitor or according to the tenant’s instructions for the particular event. Other persons entering O2 universum must possess a valid personal card or accreditation issued (approved) by the Operator and their movement within the premises of O2 universum is always subject to performance their tasks in given premises (e.g., Operator’s employees, employees of O2 universum Operator’s suppliers, tenant’s employees).
