I have a ticket from the canceled 2021 edition that I want to exchange for the And& Connect Festival.

In 2021, it was promised that tickets could be exchanged for the next edition. However, the next edition in 2024.

This year we are organizing a smaller (and cheaper) festival called “And& Connect”, focused on startups and scale-ups. You are welcome to exchange your ticket for the upcoming big edition.

Is it correct that I had to pay for my tickets by transferring money to a bank account in Estonia?

We cooperate with Fienta, a ticketing platform headquartered in Estonia. Payments are processed through them, so it is normal for the account number to be from Estonia
