The travel claim form is personal and you can use it to claim reimbursement only for your own expenses. The travel reimbursement form is used to claim reimbursement for journeys made by one person, and the person claiming reimbursement must be the ticket user.

If you are buying a ticket for another person, please do the following:

1. Buy a ticket and send the ticket and all receipts for the purchase to the person who uses the ticket.
   After the event, the person who used the ticket should fill in a reimbursement form for their own travel expenses.
   The reimbursement will be paid into the account of the person who used the tickets and filled the form, who can then reimburse you for the cost of the tickets.

We will only reimburse the use of a personal car for those legs of the journey where using public transport is not an option. The reimbursement rate is based on the Finnish governments payment per Kilometer rate.

We recommend arriving at the event at least 30 minutes before the start of the first programme. You can find the schedule for the day on the Programme page.
