Shopping Process

Open/Close section

Why do CTS Eventim tickets have another price as is given on the official home page of the event?: CTS Eventim Schweiz AG is responsible for the reservation, booking and delivery or provision of advance sale tickets. Therefore we charge advance sale and delivery or provision fees. Very often the ticket price without any fees is given on the official home page of the event.
Why can tickets only be picked up in the designated CTS Eventim Schweiz AG centres?
Why does CTS Eventim Ticket not offer the possibility of pick up at the box office for all events?: Due to the multitude of events that CTS Eventim Schweiz AG offers it is for organisational and promoter specific reasons not possible for all events.
Why can’t I find the event of my choice in the category search?: Because of the merging of several systems it might happen that not all events are shown in the right categories. Therefore please always try the quick search or the detailed search without the use of category if you can’t find an event under category.
Why can't I purchase Wheel Chair Tickets online?: For technical reasons it is not possible for us at the moment to activate the ordering of tickets for wheelchair places directly on the internet. Information on wheelchair places and their availability can be obtained telephonically at +41 43 444 68 68 (MON-FRI from 09:00 to 18:00 o’clock) or by e-mail at order info@eventim.ch. Thank you for your understanding.

Payment, Pickup and Delivery Methods

Open/Close section

I want to pay by credit card – where do I find the CVV / CVC verification code on my credit card? What is CVV/CVC?: These are the verification codes of the credit card known as Card Value Verification (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC). Both expressions mean the same, Visa uses the term CVV and Mastercard the term CVC. The verification code is an additional security feature that is required by ÖsterreichTicket when tickets are bought over the phone or the internet. This is to ensure that the person ordering has the card in his possession.

The verification code can be found on the rear of the credit card as a small number in the signature field. The CVC / CVV code is the last group of digits (the last three digits ) in the series.
Why doesn’t CTS Eventim Schweiz AG offer a box office pick up for all events?: Due to the numerous events that CTS Eventim Schweiz AG offers it is not possible to offer this service for all events for organisational and promoter specific reasons.
