Shipping, accessibility, delivery or unlocking takes place only after receipt of payment from the buyer by MWF, regardless of the method of payment.
2.2.5 Custom Tickets
The organiser has the right to customise the tickets. For this purpose, it may print on the ticket the personal data of the person entitled to it. Only the person whose name appears on the ticket will have access to the reserved event. If a buyer buys tickets for more than one person, he will have to make sure that the personal data of all persons are indicated on the tickets in a complete and faithful manner.
2.3.1 General
2.3.1.1

The ticket buyer is required to check the tickets directly after receipt. In the case of personalised tickets, the ticket buyer is required in particular to check whether the personalised data is correct. The buyer of the ticket must notify MWF of damages to tickets sent electronically in relation to tickets ordered within 3 working days.

2.3.2.3
The ticket buyer receives only one access authorisation for each ticket purchased. Any reproduction, copy, modification or imitation of the print@home ticket and any electronic distribution to third parties of the corresponding PDF file are expressly prohibited. But in case of loss or damage to the print@home ticket, the buyer may reprint the print@home ticket, knowing that he is aware that access to the event may be refused in the cases mentioned in 2.3.2.4. The damaged print@home ticket must be destroyed immediately. If the ticket buyer has already deleted the PDF file at the time of loss or damage, they can reprint the ticket in their online account. The ticket buyer is aware that the print@home ticket cannot be blocked. In this case, it is also the Regulation under 2.3.2.4 that applies.
2.3.2.4
The organiser may refuse access to an event if several printed tickets, reproductions, copies or imitations of a print@home ticket are in circulation and the owner of a printed ticket, copy or imitation of the respective print@home ticket has already had access to the event. In particular, the organiser is not required to check whether the identity of the ticket holder corresponds to that of the ticket buyer or to check the authenticity of the print@home ticket. If the owner of a print@home ticket is denied access for this reason during the access control, he is not entitled to a refund of the price paid.
2.4 No resale of tickets
Any exchange of tickets purchased for business or commercial purposes is prohibited. Violations of this rule may result in the loss of the service related to the purchased ticket and the rights to damages, as well as claims for restitution of profits vis-à-vis the original purchaser of the ticket and the persons who purchased the ticket. Persons who violate these rules may be excluded from the purchase and return of tickets. For resale via electronic platforms, MWF recommends the official resale platform fansale.ch.

2.7.4 Specifications in the event of a move of the date of an event or modification of an event venue
If MWF decides to postpone an event or move an event venue, the ticket is valid for the postponed date or new venue, regardless of the reasons for the postponement. This also applies if the event is postponed or transferred repeatedly. In this case the tickets cannot be returned, refunded or exchanged. Any change in the date and/or location of the event, whether the event is organised on the new date with the same content, the same teams or with characteristics and criteria different from those of the initial event is considered a postponement.
