Hallenstadion

What Hallenstadion does

Hallenstadion Zürich operates Switzerland's largest multi-purpose indoor event venue, founded in 1939 and located in Zürich's exhibition district with direct access to public transportation and hotels. The venue serves consumer event attendees (concerts, shows, sports, family entertainment, comedy) and corporate clients (AGMs, congresses, product presentations, employee events) across a capacity range of 300 to 15,500 guests. Its infrastructure includes a 3,900m² divisible arena, a 1,900m² foyer, five configurable layouts (Compact, Split, Arena, Gallery, Foyer), 4 themed restaurants and 19 takeaway stations operated by the Wüger family since 1939, and 450 digital screens for branding and visitor guidance.

The company monetizes through four primary revenue streams: ticket sales and event hosting commissions (via partnerships with Ticketcorner, Ticketmaster, and Live Nation Switzerland), VIP hospitality packages (Starlounge, 12er Loge, STUDIO, permanent loge rentals), corporate event space rentals (SPACES sub-brand for 20-200 persons, plus full arena rental from CHF 39,000), and on-site gastronomy. Pricing spans CHF 309-439 for Starlounge VIP packages, CHF 2,300-6,100 for loge rentals, CHF 550-1,500 for corporate meeting rooms, and CHF 32.40-227 for standard event tickets. Technical infrastructure is provided by Habegger AG, and the venue shares geographic synergies with Messe Zürich.

AG Hallenstadion is a privately held Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) with no parent company or external investors. The company recorded FY2025 revenue of CHF 23.1 million (up from CHF 17.4M in FY2024) and net profit of CHF 1.65 million (up from CHF 0.89M), with 110 event days and approximately 937,000 visitors. It was recognized in December 2025 as the #2 arena in Europe and #3 worldwide, and holds consecutive Green Globe and Swisstainable sustainability certifications. The venue is approved operationally through 2026-2027.
