| Switzerland Secondary Ticket Market Legal - Ricardo.ch Takes a Stand for Tickets to Concerts |
 Switzerland's homegrown version of eBay, called ricardo.ch, has come out in the Swiss press in support of the Secondary Ticket Market, after a huge rush on tickets for the upcoming AC/DC concert in Bern, of which a small percentage are expected to appear in the secondary market, including ricardo.chIs this resale is legal in Switzerland? Yes, the resale of legally purchased tickets is allowed even if the final sale price is higher than that printed on the ticket in question. This is the view of a professor of private law at the University of Bern, Thomas Koller, which was stated in the Berner Zeitung, January 14, 2010. "As long as fans are willing to pay a certain price for their tickets, the prices will increase. However, if the primary ticket seller asks for a ticket price too high, nobody buys. It is the prevailing principle in terms of supply and demand," noted Barbara Zimmermann, from ricardo.ch. Swiss fans expect a sprint for tickets concert by U2 September 11, 2010 in Zurich.
