Beware ticket touts!

Buy your tickets only from advance Ticketcorner sales outlets authorised by the Baloise Session.

For professional and private resellers, buying tickets from official advance ticket sales offices in order to resell them at a much higher price is increasingly becoming a lucrative business.In the process, artists, organisers and the general public all lose out.

To avoid excessively-priced tickets or fakes, we strongly advise you to purchase tickets only from official advance ticket sales offices authorised by us, and never from websites run byso-called ticket brokers such as Alltickets, Viagogo, Onlineticketsshop, Worldticketshop, Vienna Ticketoffice, Ticketbande, Ebay, Ricardo and others.

For more information, visit the website of the Swiss Music Promoters Association (SMPA).

FAQ: Status at 12 August 2022

At the end of March 2022, the Swiss government lifted all pandemic-related measures. Fortunately, this means that cultural events can also once more be held and attended without restrictions. We comply at all times with the official directives and the valid regulations, and closely follow the recommendations of the canton of Basel City. The focus in this context is on individual responsibility. Since the health situation and official directives can change at short notice, please check our website for the current status of protection measures shortly before attending an event.

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

As a concert-goer, what do I need to know?

The health of our public and of everyone involved is our first priority. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, we ask all visitors to follow the instructions of the Festival Team. Despite taking every care and making every effort to protect your safety, we cannot accept liability for infections or the resultant effects. At all times, you visit our events at your own responsibility and your own risk. The principle of individual responsibility applies.

Do I have to wear a mask?

No, wearing a face covering is not obligatory. Needless to say, concert-goers and all other persons involved are free to choose whether or not to wear a mask.

Do I need a Covid certificate?

Since 17 February 2022 it has no longer been necessary to show a Covid certificate. For this reason, we too no longer require Covid certificates for any of our events.

What must I do if I am showing symptoms?

If, on the day of the event, you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, please do not come to the Baloise Session evening concert.
