Another stupid idea by politicians who try to fix the service they don't understand.
“The subsequent bureaucracy of cancelling ticket bookings and transferring the money back would be over with.”
Good one. I had a flight (DUS 2 MUC) cancelled yesterday (due to strikes).
Two clicks in the app, and the money was back in my account 20 minutes later.
This law will only do 2 things:
a) Increase prices for tickets
b) Will create a lot of friction. Just imaging you credit card being stolen/lost a day before the flight. Or you accidentally spending your credit on something else before the money is taken.
If you buy a cinema ticket for next weeks premiere, do you want to pay now, and have the ticket safe, or pay when you actually go to the cinema.

But you can already reserve a seat at the cinema and if your local cinema happens to screw up on a frequent basis then you'd probably get a reservation instead of paying for the ticket beforehand.
- mihaaly 4y agoProbably you never fly budget airlines. Getting back your money is not two click and 20 minutes there. Also you could loose ticket (phone, paper) too, not only credit card. Actually you could drop your phone into the toilet at the airport or on the floor or run out of charge, etc, not like a credit card. Preauthorise/hold amount charged later is something there for long time already. I start to wonder who have no understanding here...

- mihaaly 4y agoWhich cannot be lost, unlike the card. : ))
