The five rankings

One leaderboard per use case, a common set of criteria.

The criteria that feed each ranking

  1. Fees: clarity of the total before payment and the presence of fees added late.
  2. Countries covered: geographic scope and relevance for a purchase outside your own country.
  3. Languages: depth of the multilingual experience all the way to payment.
  4. Payment: variety of methods and how the transaction is secured.
  5. Ticket delivery: timing, format and clarity of the terms.
  6. Service: channels, responsiveness and dispute handling.

Which ranking to consult for your need

If your priority is to pay the fair price without surprises, start with the fees ranking. For a concert outside your country, the Europe ranking and the languages criterion are the most useful. If you buy and show your ticket from a smartphone, the mobile ranking comes first. To buy or resell a seat between individuals, consult the resale ranking. And if you're looking for a versatile choice, the overall ranking aggregates everything.
