Digital EVZ

In August 2018, the EVZ launched a new digital platform, which is the leader in the Swiss sports club market.

We have expanded the core system of the new platform, which had already been successfully introduced at two German Bundesliga football clubs, with additional components to form a powerful overall system.

In line with Industry 4.0, we have networked the most important system components using data technology. If an EVZ customer logs on to any system (e.g. website), he is automatically logged on to all other systems (e.g. ticketing). If a customer changes his master data (e.g. postal address) in one system (e.g. fan article web shop), these changes are also automatically changed in all other systems (e.g. ticket web shop).

Register as a user on our website (see icon in the top right-hand corner) in order to benefit from all the advantages. You can view and manage your season ticket on the ticketing portal (tickets.evz.ch) no later than 5 working days later.

The digital platform launch was a major challenge for all involved, as no comparable solution has yet been implemented throughout Switzerland. EVZ, renowned for its innovative strength, is thus also playing a leading role in digitisation.

In your customer profile under "My Tickets", you can remove a single match from your season ticket by clicking on the "Print@Home or Generate Mobile Ticket" button. This creates a Print@Home and also a mobile ticket, which you can send to a friend by e-mail.

ATTENTION: As soon as you remove a game, your season ticket is no longer valid for that single game. The step cannot be undone. If you still want to come yourself, you must take the Print@Home or Mobile Ticket with you instead of your season ticket.
