INTERNATIONALE EVENTS

​

Just tickets for a concert in Bern, a soccer match in Basel or an opera in Zurich are available through dozens of ticket booking portals.

It becomes more challenging when your wishes are more extensive than just buying a seat or the event is already fully booked on the official channels. This is where Perfect Switzerland's consulting and implementation capabilities come into play: "Meet & Greet" services on site with personal handover of tickets are already good.
And it gets even better when you can gain access via the artist entrance, meet the artists in person or be shown around the backstage area.

​

In addition, many international events of world format take place in Switzerland. To many of them the access is much more difficult. 

In this case Perfect Switzerland is there for you.
