End of July the swiss consumerism approached several points of sale who sell tickets for sports and music events. Doing that they asked for a statement regarding the model for a fair ticketsale the SKS presented in March 2009. This model contains amongst other that tickets can only be purchased at a sales desk and that those will be personalised.

Quickly it surfaced, that none of the points of sale thought of the model as realistic and most of them do not see the need to act regarding a new organisation of the selling system. The SKS classifys any selling-on of tickets as black market. This classification has no labor contract.

As a matter of course alltickets.ch responded to the survey and is in communication with the SKS. Like others, alltickets.ch does not believe in exclusive sale at sales desks. The selling by internet allows people to purchase tickets who’d have long way to go to the next sales desk. Sell-on-points like alltickets.ch also enables people to visit an event that has been sold out within a couple hours. Not everybody can arrange to buy a ticket in that short period tickets are oftentimes sold. Furthermore alltickets.ch garantees the sale of valid and certified tickets which inhibits the real black market. The alltickets-clients agree. The reproval that tickets are being sold for unreasonable prices, the alltickets-management has to decline, pointing out the fact that the tickets are bought already for more than they costed originally. Furthermore offers alltickets.ch a passibility to get rid of a ticket, if a person cant make the event.
