DENAIL TO ENTER THE TERRAIN
The organization generally reserves the right to deny certain people (further) access to the event or to remove them from the event. If in their opinion this is necessary to maintain public order and safety during the event. This also applies if, in the opinion of the organization, a visitor wears or carries a piece of clothing, texts or football statements and signs which could be offensive, discriminatory, insulting or cause aggression or unrest for other visitors and for undressing during the event.

IS THERE A DRESS CODE FOR SHIFT SERVICE FESTIVAL?
No, there is no specific dress code. Wearing football shirts and/or discriminatory and/or offensive clothing is in any case not allowed.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE
It is a known fact that there are risks associated with the use of alcohol and/or other narcotics. Therefore, be extra careful with the use of alcohol and/or other narcotics at a temperature above 20 degrees. Alcohol and drugs raise the body temperature. So, if you’re dancing for a long time and haven’t had a lot to drink, it increases the chance of overheating. So, make sure you drink enough water, but not too much: a maximum of 1 or 2 glasses per hour. When you drink too much water in a short period of time, there is also the risk of water intoxication. When someone dies due to the use of alcohol or drugs, this is often due to overheating or water intoxication because of alcohol/drugs. So be extra careful and make sure to cool yourself down every now and then. So, watch each other and do not leave each other’s side. For more information and health risks, visit www.drugsenuitgaan.nl and www.unity.nl. 

HEARING PROTECTION
Hearing protection is sold at our cash registers and merchandise stand, we think it is important that you can enjoy great music, not only now but also in 20 years’ time. So always take your hearing into account, especially for this reason!

Forced and unprotected sex is more common when people are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Respect each other and visit https://sense.info/nl/soas for more information about unsafe sex. In addition, the use of alcohol and drugs can lead to concentration problems and a lower reaction time, which makes you a danger to yourself and other road users. So do not get in if this is not safe. So, stop on time and adjust your transport accordingly. In addition, don’t forget to drink water or isotonic drinks to replenish your fluids before you go to sleep.

Anyone who does not comply with the above rules may be refused or denied entry to the event or handed over to the police. Every visitor is expected to inform themselves of the conditions that apply to them.
