We are happy to announce a full refund for ticket buyers. All ticket buyers who purchased their tickets via the official sales channels (Ticketcorner and event organizers) have received an e-mail with the details of the process. Those who purchased their tickets through another channel will have to contact the respective seller.

“This is probably the largest refund effort in Switzerland’s event industry,” said Andreas Angehrn, CEO of Ticketcorner. “We ask for patience and understanding as the reimbursement of approximately 300,000 tickets in 51 different countries will take longer than usual.” International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Ticketcorner

Following the cancellation of the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Zurich and Lausanne, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has decided today not to apply to the International Ice Hockey Federation to move the event to 2021. Consequently, the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship will not take place in Switzerland in 2021 either and ticket holders will receive a refund. The corresponding modalities will be communicated next week.

All fans who bought tickets through the Organizing Committee or via Ticketcorner will receive a refund. Ticket purchasers will be informed by e-mail next week (‪until 8 May 2020‬) about the further procedure regarding the refund process. Hospitality customers will be contacted directly by the Organizing Committee. Swiss Ice Hockey International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF)

We hope you are all doing OK in this difficult time. 🙏🏽
We are pleased to announce that we will provide you with details about the modalities of reimbursement via e-mail and at 2020.iihfworlds.com by the end of April at the very latest. We are currently still in the process of clarifying the matter with all the relevant partners. In addition to the definite cancellation of this year’s event, we are also looking into the possibility of applying to host the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Switzerland. This decision is still pending. Until a definite decision has been taken, please do not send any tickets back. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear ticket holders, dear hockey community,

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) announced on Saturday, March 21, 2020, that the 2020 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship Switzerland, which was to take place from May 8 to 24 in Zurich and Lausanne, will not be held due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Switzerland.
This new starting position is accompanied by many open questions, which must now be analysed and clarified in detail. We are striving to find a satisfactory solution for you, as our valued customers. However, in view of the special circumstances we ask for your understanding and a bit of patience.

Should the IIHF World Championship definitely be cancelled, it is our aim and ambition to refund the tickets in full. Whether the 2020 IIHF WM will be cancelled and rescheduled for 2021 will be decided by the IIHF at its next annual congress. The date for this congress has not yet been fixed. Currently, clarifications with all parties involved are in full swing. Until a final decision has been made, all tickets and hospitality packages purchased will remain valid. We kindly ask you to keep your tickets for the time being and not to return them.
You will be informed of the latest developments and the next steps in no more than 14 days.

The corresponding information can also be found at 2020.iihfworlds.com
