TicketCorner. Is this legal?

So in 2020 we bought tickets for Eric Clapton at the Hallenstaion 5 June 2020, it was delayed twice until 17 May 2022. On the 16th, after we had arrived in Zurich, they delayed it again due M. Clapton having contracted the disease.

Today we received a message saying it’s rescheduled for 7 October. It goes on to say if we don’t like the new date we can claim against their insurance IF we had purchased it. (I don’t think they offered it when we bought the tickets) Or our household insurance may cover it. Otherwise we might be able to resell the tickets using their website.

Well F***. We have been very patient waiting for them and we have spent a lot of money travelling to/from Zurich. Now, if WE don’t like their dates, well f*** off.

At very least they can give us our money back.

So, is this legal or do they have an obligation to refund us in full?

Ticketcorner is just the organization facing the customers. However, who's the person/organization that is in charge of the event and effectively has your money?

update:it seems a company named Gadget abc entertainment group AG has your money and there's not much to do beyond finding a greater fool:

I suspect that clause appeared after we bought the tickets. In any case it is so one sided giving them all the benefits with none going to the purchaser. I can’t see how it has any validity. Contracts must be balanced n’est pas?

That would be very interesting. If you got your tickets and then they changed their general terms and conditions there's something to do.

Chargeback or is it too late ?

Much too late ... Tickets were bought in spring 2020.

I feel for you. I have had the same ...

1) Concert when the 3 reschedule falls on Sunday of long weekend in 10 days and hence cannot go...

2) Concert that was now scheduled for May 7th (3rd date) and now pushed to Dec (by which time I am sure we will have the 73rd wave).

I find it annoying but there is not much to do and I decided to just live with it as life is too short.

Ticketcorner, ticketmaster, all these companies are a bunch of .....s.

That said, the concert is sold out ( guess a lot of people still want to see the old racist ) surely you'll be rid of them if you were to post them on Ricardo.

Their T&Cs prohibit that. You can only resell via ticketcorner.

Chargeback is not magic, it is usually refused if you are using to circumvent the terms of a valid sale.

I’ve posted the tickets on TickerCorner’s Fan Sale site. https://www.fansale.ch/fansale/eric-...8948.htm?ptc=2

The Bar-Stewards are charging us 10% (CHF42) for the privilege and will charge the purchaser CHF 30 “service” charge.

If anyone would like to cut out the middleman I’ll sell them at the 420 face value directly. Send me a PM.

They are really good seats in Row 13.

I suggest you put it on the for sale forum as well.

How will they know though? I bought tickets a couple of times from there and while the ticket has my name on it, they never ask for id at the venue.
