Last year, they issued 250 fines across 11 events, and are already booked for six more this summer. Attendees unknowingly sign away rights when they buy tickets, giving these firms legal power to fine you on the spot—with penalties up to 600 euros. While promoters tout no criminal record, legal experts say courts rarely prosecute small amounts, making the threat feel exaggerated. But the real issue? No oversight. These private enforcers are doing police work without accountability—raising the alarm about what happens when the rules vanish.
