Swiss Indoors

What Swiss Indoors does

Swiss Indoors Basel is an annual ATP Tour 500 indoor hard-court tennis tournament held at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, and operated by Swiss Indoors AG, a privately held Swiss corporation founded in 1970 and headquartered in Allschwil. The event serves three distinct customer sets: tennis fans purchasing tickets and hospitality packages, corporate clients buying VIP boxes and hospitality experiences, and a broad multi-tier sponsor ecosystem ranging from Premium and National Partners to Official Suppliers and on-site advertisers.

The core product is a week-long professional tournament plus the surrounding commercial and fan-experience infrastructure (broadcast production, hospitality villages, on-site activations, and bundled travel packages such as "Swiss Sternfahrt" and "Basel erleben"). The technology footprint is primarily a fan-facing digital platform (web, ticketing, e-commerce through partners including Kitris Sports AG and DIG.ID) and an e-commerce merchandise line via hi-pro.ch, rather than a proprietary software product.

The business model combines three revenue mechanics: ticketing and on-site consumer spend, corporate/VIP hospitality sales, and tiered sponsorship and advertising sales. Distribution leverages a fixed high-capacity arena, established broadcast relationships, and an increasingly digitized fan relationship layer. The organization runs with 11–50 employees, consistent with a specialized event operator outsourcing production, broadcast, and digital platform execution to specialist partners.
