INTRODUCTION
- Ticketmaster Schweiz AG (“Ticketmaster, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a company registered in Switzerland under company number CHE-447.882.410, with registered offices at Zürichstrasse 125, 8600 Dübendorf.
- We operate an online marketplace where you can purchase primary tickets and resale tickets, as well as other items in connection with events. The term “PrimaryTicket(s)” means primary event tickets (i.e. tickets allocated to us directly by Promoters (as defined below) for sale by us). The term “Resale Ticket(s)”, on the other hand, means tickets that have been purchased from us and are being sold on by the original buyer (i.e. they are not sold by us, we simply facilitate the sale via our fan-to-fan resale service whether by way of the Ticketmaster marketplace or enabling the original buyer to list tickets through sharing a social media or personal Ticketmaster URL (“Resale”)).
- This Resale Policy (the “Resale Policy”) sets out the terms and conditions applicable to sales and purchases of Resale Tickets using the Resale. This Resale Policy also incorporates our website Terms of Use.
- This Resale Policy does not apply to purchases of Primary Tickets from us. Please see our General Terms and Conditions for the full terms and conditions applicable to purchasing Primary Tickets from us.
- We provide the Resale so that customers who have purchased Primary Tickets from us are able to offer the same for resale on a safe and secure basis. The availability of Resale Tickets to purchase using the Resale is subject to availability and does not mean that Primary Tickets aren’t also available to purchase for an event or that an event is sold out or that tickets to an event are not available to purchase from other sources (e.g. the event organiser, the event venue or other primary ticket agents).
- The Resale further provides a safe place for customers to purchase Resale Tickets at a fair price, and we impose a 200% cap on the amount sellers can list their Resale Tickets for sale. Additionally, all Resale Tickets listed on the Resale are “verified”, which means that any Resale Tickets were first purchased from us as Primary Tickets, so we can verify that all the information within the ticket description is present and correct.
- Please note, Resale Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded after purchase, save as set out in clause 11 of this Resale Please also note that we are not responsible for organising or delivering events themselves.
- Nothing in this Resale Policy or our General Terms and Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACTS
- In order to sell or purchase a Resale Ticket using the Ticket Exchange, you must be 18 years old or more; be able to enter into legally binding contracts; have a Ticketmaster account; and have a valid credit / debit card or bank account issued in your name. If you are listing and selling a Resale Ticket, you may receive payment for any Resale Tickets you sell either via Adyen or Hyperwallet. Consequently, you will also need:
(i) an Adyen for Platforms account (which we will set up for you as part of the listing process and act as an authorised representative for you in relation to Adyen), and you will need to enter into a separate legally binding contract with Adyen by accepting Adyen's Terms and Conditions, as well as holding a valid bank account in your name that is able to receive funds in CHF; and
(ii) a Hyperwallet account (which we will set up for you as part of the listing process and act as an authorised representative for you in relation to Hyperwallet), and you will need to enter into a separate legally binding contract with Hyperwallet by accepting Hyperwallet’s Terms and Conditions, as well as holding a valid bank account in your name that is able to receive funds.
We will notify you of whether Adyen or Hyperwallet will apply upon confirmation of the relevant sale. Resale Ticket prices are displayed in the currency that they will be charged in. If you list and sell Resale Tickets and opt to receive funds in a currency other than as displayed, we accept no responsibility or liability for additional charges you may be subject to by your credit / debit card or bank / payment provider, or any currency exchange rate fluctuations, which are entirely at your risk. - By listing, selling or purchasing a Resale Ticket using the Ticket Exchange, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Ticket Exchange Policy, which form a legally binding contract between you and us in relation to your use of the Ticket Exchange. If you are selling Resale Tickets, you will also have a separate legally binding contract with Adyen and Hyperwallet respectively as described in clause 3.1 above. A further separate contract is entered into between buyers and sellers when buying or selling Resale Tickets using the Ticket Exchange (please see clause 3.4 for details). If you do not agree with this Ticket Exchange Policy or any other applicable terms and conditions, or if you cannot comply with any of them, then you must not use the Ticket Exchange.
- We reserve the right from time to time to make changes to this Resale Policy. Where we make any such changes, we shall post the updated version of this Resale Policy on our website. Therefore, we recommend you check this Resale Policy regularly to stay informed of its current terms and conditions. All listings, sales and purchases are subject to the applicable version of this Resale Policy that was published at the time of listing, sale or purchase. If you do not agree with any revised version of this Resale Policy, or if you cannot comply with it, then you must not list, sell or purchase Resale Tickets.
- When you sell or purchase a Resale Ticket using the Fan-to-Fan Resale, you enter into a separate contract directly with the buyer or seller (as applicable) of the relevant Resale Tickets as the Resale Tickets are owned by the seller and not us, and purchased by the buyer from the seller through the Fan-to-Fan Resale. That contract for sale/purchase becomes effective once we have confirmed your order on the Fan-to-Fan Resale.
- Please note: We facilitate sale/purchase transactions between buyers and sellers, we are not a party to the sale/purchase contract between a buyer and a seller of any Resale Tickets.However, buyers and sellers must not contact or attempt to contact each other directly (except where a seller is a “business seller” (as defined in clause 3(f) below), in which case a buyer may contact that seller directly in relation to any complaints using the contact details provided). Nonetheless, in case of a dispute or issues arising between seller and buyer, we recommend in all cases that buyers and sellers first seek resolution to any issues using our dispute resolution procedure, as set out in clause 15.
- In order to sell or purchase a Resale Ticket using the Ticket Exchange, you must be 18 years old or more; be able to enter into legally binding contracts; have a Ticketmaster account; and have a valid credit / debit card or bank account issued in your name.

SELLER TERMS (LISTING AND SELLING RESALE TICKETS)
-
LISTING RESALE TICKETS FOR SALE
- You will only be able to list a Resale Ticket for sale if you purchased it as a Primary Ticket on the Switzerland Ticketmaster website or app, and the Fan-to-Fan Resale functionality is available in relation to those Primary Tickets in your Ticketmaster account. In particular, the following are unable to be listed for sale on the Fan-to-Fan Resale:
- We cannot and do not guarantee that Resale Ticket listings will be published and active within a certain time or that listings will appear in a particular order or in any search results, or that listed Resale Tickets will sell. If any Resale Tickets are not listed due to a technical or other error and/or do not sell for any reason, we will not be liable or responsible in relation to the same.
- We reserve the right to delist any Resale Tickets if:
- you fail to comply with any listing conditions under clause 3;
- you are a business seller and fail to declare yourself as such and/or fail to comply with applicable law or regulation in relation to trading as a business pursuant to clause 4.3(f);
- any of the circumstances at clause 7(a)-(e) apply; and/or
- the Fan-to-Fan Resale functionality needs to be disabled for an event or for particular tickets for any reason (in which case all affected Resale Ticket listings will automatically be delisted or suspended and orders already placed will be cancelled and refunded to the relevant buyers).
-
SALE AND FULFILMENT OF RESALE TICKETS
- When a buyer confirms that he/she/it wants to purchase any Resale Tickets and makes payment, the order will be processed, and you (seller) will receive an “order confirmation” notification (the "Order Confirmation"). A legally binding contract between you and the buyer is formed upon the issuing of the Order Confirmation. Please note, once the legally binding contract is formed, you are giving up your rights to the Resale Ticket and are legally bound to supply the Resale Tickets to the relevant buyer.
- Whilst we try to ensure the accuracy of Order Confirmations, sometimes technical or other errors may occur. If an error results in an incorrect Order Confirmation being issued, we will notify you as soon as possible and reserve the right to cancel the order without any further liability.
- In rare circumstances, for example if the buyer’s payment for an order is recalled by the associated bank or payment provider, we reserve the right to cancel an order for which an Order Confirmation has been sent and, as the case may be, refund the buyer without any further liability. In this case, the purchase contract between you and the buyer – without any liability on our part – shall be deemed not to have been concluded and shall have no legal effect whatsoever.
- Upon receipt of the Order Confirmation, you must follow the exact instructions provided by us in order to fulfil the delivery of the Resale Tickets. This may be that no action is required (because we will cancel the original tickets and reissue brand new tickets directly to the buyer). Please note, you must not post print outs of e-tickets under any circumstances, unless otherwise expressly authorised or instructed in writing by us to do so. Failure to deliver the exact Resale Tickets that were listed for sale or failure to deliver Resale Tickets in accordance with our instructions and timeframes is a breach of this Resale Policy and may lead to order cancellation and/or the terms of clause 8 will apply and/or to seller's liability.
- If for any reason you are unable to fulfil any orders for Resale Tickets in accordance with our instructions, you must contact us immediately via our Fan-to-Fan Resale Help Portal in order to attempt a resolution and must not take any action (such as supplying alternative tickets to the buyer) without having first consulted with us. In certain limited circumstances and in our sole discretion, where you have contacted us under this clause, we may facilitate an alternative fulfilment method, in which case:
- you must follow all our instructions in relation to the same and provide all information and documentation required by us for such fulfilment; and
- where applicable, you hereby grant us permission to provide your full original order details (including the last four digits of the payment card that was used to pay for the Primary Tickets) to the buyer and/or the event or venue box office in order to assist with fulfilment.
- You should keep an accurate record of all details in relation to sales on the Fan-to-Fan Resale, including a record of which exact Resale Tickets have been sold to which buyer (including ticket barcode numbers).
- To the extent applicable, you may use buyers’ personal data strictly for the purpose of fulfilment of Resale Tickets only and for no other purpose whatsoever. You must also keep buyers’ personal data strictly confidential and secure and must not contact buyers directly unless directly authorised to do so by Ticketmaster. Once a buyer has safely received their Resale Tickets, you should delete and/or destroy all records of the relevant buyer’s personal data.
-
OTHER SELLER OBLIGATIONS
- If we need to make enquiries about any Resale Tickets you have listed or sold, you should respond promptly and within such timeframes that we notify to you. If you are not contactable within our required timeframes, this may lead to order cancellation and/or the terms of clause 8 will apply.
- If an event is cancelled in full:
- all live listings for the event (i.e. unsold Resale Tickets) will be removed from the Fan-to-Fan Resale, so sellers should check our General Terms and Conditions; you will be able to obtain a refund for any Primary Tickets that were unsold at the time of de-listing; and
- all orders for Resale Tickets that were confirmed prior to and at the time of cancellation of the event will be cancelled and the relevant buyers of such Resale Tickets will be refunded (and any buyers already in receipt of the Resale Tickets will have their tickets cancelled). In such circumstances, if you (seller) have already received payment for and therefore no longer have any rights to the relevant Resale Tickets, you will not be entitled to a refund in respect of such tickets under our General Terms and Conditions and/or this Resale Policyincluding where you sold any Resale Tickets for less than you paid for them as Primary Tickets. In circumstances where you (seller) have not already received payment for the relevant Resale Tickets, you will be able to obtain a refund from us in respect of such tickets.
- If an event is rescheduled or materially altered:
- the event listing page will be updated with the new information and all live listings will remain listed and available for sale. However, you (seller) may delist your Resale Tickets (provided they remain unsold at the time of delisting) so that you can request a refund for your Primary Tickets as originally purchased under our General Terms and Conditions; and
- buyers of orders for Resale Tickets that were placed prior to the announcement of the alteration or rescheduling of the event will be able to request to cancel their order. If a buyer does not opt to cancel their order, then the transaction will proceed as normal (and you (seller) will not be able to cancel your original Primary Tickets order in such circumstances). If a buyer opts to cancel their order, they will be refunded. In such circumstances, if you (seller) have already received payment for and therefore no longer have any rights to the relevant Resale Tickets, you will not be able to obtain a refund in respect of such tickets under our General Terms and Conditions and/or this Resale Policy including where you sold any Resale Tickets for less than you paid for them as Primary Tickets. In circumstances where you (seller) have not already received payment for the relevant Resale Tickets, you will be able to obtain a refund in respect of such tickets.
- If you are a business seller and are registered for VAT, you acknowledge and agree the price you set for each Resale Ticket is inclusive of any applicable VAT and any other applicable taxes. It will also be your responsibility to calculate and account to the relevant tax authorities for all applicable taxes in relation to the sale price of Resale Tickets. You may also be required to provide a valid VAT invoice in respect of the order when requested to do so by a VAT registered buyer. If in doubt about any of your tax obligations, you should seek specialist tax advice.
-
PAYMENT TO SELLERS
- Payment to you of any Resale Ticket proceeds minus the seller fee shall be made via Adyen MarketPay in accordance with Adyen's Terms and Conditions or Hyperwallet in accordance with Hyperwallet’s Terms and Conditions, usually within ten (10) days after the event. We will notify you of whether Adyen or Hyperwallet will apply upon confirmation of the relevant sale. Upon payment to you (seller), our contract with you (i.e. this Resale Policy) shall expire with respect to the relevant Resale Tickets sold, and we shall have no liability to you howsoever caused, including but not limited to where you have sold any Resale Tickets for less than you paid for them as Primary Tickets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Resale Policy which are expressly or impliedly intended to survive the termination or expiry shall survive such termination or expiry including clauses 5, 5, 6, 7.1, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
- We reserve the right to cancel orders and issue refunds to buyers where, in our reasonable opinion, a buyer is legally entitled to a refund for any reason and/or pursuant to clause 8, in which case no payment shall become due to you.
- If a dispute arises regarding payment, you shall submit to the dispute resolution procedure set out in clause 15, and we may not make payment to you unless and until such dispute is resolved.
-
ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST SELLERS
- We reserve the right to de-list any listings and/or cancel any orders selling Resale Tickets on the Fan-to-Fan Resale if:
- You fail to comply with any listing conditions under clause 3;
- You are a business seller and fail to comply with clauses 4.3(f) or 6.4 and/or applicable law or regulation in relation to trading as a business;
- The buyer is denied entry to the relevant event through no fault of his/her/its own as a result of any act or omission by you (including any failure to comply with the terms of this Resale Policy and/or any terms and conditions applicable to the Primary Ticket and/or any other applicable laws and regulations).
- There are any other issues or disputes in relation to any Resale Tickets you have listed or sold and/or are listing or selling.
- If we carry out any de-listing or cancel orders pursuant to clause 1, then we also reserve the right, in our discretion to terminate your Ticketmaster account and/or cancel any sale or purchase orders and/or prohibit you from listing Resale Tickets or making future orders and/or prohibit you from using the TM Services in future.

BUYER TERMS (BUYING AND USING RESALE TICKETS)
-
PRICES, PAYMENT AND PLACING ORDERS
- All prices for Resale Tickets offered for sale on the Fan-to-Fan Resale are inclusive of VAT and are broken down as follows:
- sale price of the Resale Ticket (“Sale Price”); plus
- any per-ticket service charges (“Service Charge”); plus
- any delivery fees (“Order Processing Fees”).
You will also be notified of the price paid for the Resale Ticket when it was purchased as a Primary Ticket.
- The Sale Price of a Resale Ticket may be higher than the price paid for the Resale Ticket when it was purchased as a Primary Ticket. This is because sellers are able to include an uplift of up to 200% more than the price paid for the Primary Ticket, such uplift to include any per-ticket Service Charges plus a relevant proportion of any per-order Order Processing Fees that the seller paid when he/she/it purchased the Primary Ticket.
- Sellers may also increase or decrease (within certain boundaries) the Sale Price of listed Resale Tickets at any time prior to an order being submitted.
- Whilst we try to ensure that all Resale Ticket listings are error-free, sometimes technical or other errors may occur. If an error results in an incorrectly confirmed order, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of confirming your order with the correct detail or cancelling your order (in which case you will receive a full refund). If we are unable to contact you to confirm your order with the correct details, you agree that we may treat the order as cancelled and issue you with a full refund, without any further liability.
- Because you can purchase items for events taking place in several different countries, not all items are priced in Swiss Francs (CHF). All prices are displayed in the currency that they will be charged in, and we accept no responsibility or liability for additional charges you may be subject to by your credit or debit card provider, or any currency exchange rate fluctuations, which are entirely at your risk.
- Accepted methods of payment include TWINT, Visa, MasterCard and American Express debit or credit cards. Gift cards cannot be used to make payments for Resale Tickets.

We will not be responsible for any costs or losses you incur if you assume that an order was or was not placed because you failed to receive an Order Confirmation.
- All purchases are subject to credit or debit card verification (if applicable), other security checks, and collection of payment by us. Your order may be cancelled if it has not passed our verification process or if payment is not received in full. In rare circumstances, if your payment is recalled by the associated bank (a “chargeback”), we reserve the right to cancel such order even where an Order Confirmation has been sent. In this case, the purchase contract between you and the seller shall be deemed not to have been concluded and shall have no legal effect whatsoever. We accept no responsibility or liability for such cancellations, as these are outside our control.
- It is prohibited to obtain or attempt to obtain any Resale Tickets through unauthorised use of any robot, spider or other automated device or software, or any other illegal or unauthorised activity. We reserve the right to cancel any orders that we reasonably suspect to have been made in breach of this Resale Policy, without any notice to you, and any and all Resale Tickets obtained as part of such orders will be void.
- To prevent fraud and protect us, we reserve the right to carry out checks and/or request that additional information be provided in order to verify purchases.

- Neither the seller nor we shall be liable for, and you will not be entitled to any refund as a result of your failure to provide correct and complete delivery information and/or failure to ensure you are available to receive delivery of Resale Tickets via email, or your failure to download Tickets from your Ticketmaster account, as applicable.
- Where Resale Tickets may be fulfilled by way of “Collection” (either from us or the relevant event box office), such collection may be subject to certain conditions and restrictions (including that you may need to present proof of your identity). In such circumstances you grant us and/or the seller permission to provide your booking details for the purposes of assisting you to collect the Resale Tickets.

EVENT CANCELLATIONS
