Hello Charise,
Welcome to our website! Sure you can purchase the Swiss Half Fare Card in Switzerland. However, since you mentioned your budget, it’s cheaper to purchase in advance. The Swiss Half Fare Card page lists all purchase options, both in Switzerland and online. Be sure to fill out the upper right section (country, pass, travelers) to get the purchase options that suit your needs specifically.
Switzerland is beautiful, even when your options are somewhat limited due to your budget. Are you going next Saturday? If you’re there after September 1, you may want to look into this Regional Pass offer. More money saving tips are here.

we go this Saturday so unfortunately we will have to buy the pass in Interlaken (if we do this at all) It seems a lot more expensive to buy it in Switzerland, why is this? 🙁

Hello Charise,
All resellers have their own prices and promotions. Buying in Switzerland is just one of the options. In most cases, that’s one of the more expensive options. You need to pay in Swiss francs there. The rate of the franc is quite high at the moment, so if there is a local reseller charging in your own currency, such as in your case, that would be one of the reasons for a better deal. We’ve listed all offers in such a way that you can easily see what the best/cheapest offer is. You know where to check next time 😉
Anyway, have fun in the Alps!
