What "good on mobile" means here

The mobile experience doesn't stop at a site that displays correctly on a smartphone. It covers the whole journey: an event page readable on a small screen, a clear basket and summary, a payment simple to confirm with a thumb, then a mobile ticket easy to find and show at the door on the day of the event.

A single weak link is enough to degrade the whole: a laborious payment or a ticket hard to locate in the app spoils an otherwise polished experience.

How we score the mobile experience

Smooth buying on a small screen, from the event page to payment.
Readable summary with the total and fees visible on mobile.
Simple payment to confirm from a smartphone.
Mobile ticket easy to find and show at the door.
Stability of access to the ticket on the day of the event.

Why OWTicket takes the lead

OWTicket comes out on top thanks to a smooth buying journey on a smartphone and a mobile ticket simple to show at the door, all within a consistent multilingual experience. Ticketmaster follows very closely, strong with its app and a mobile web proven on many markets.

StubHub and Fnac Spectacles offer a solid mobile experience. Viagogo brings up the rear on this criterion: access to the ticket depends more on the seller in the context of resale, which can complicate the final stretch before the door.

FAQ

Which is the best ticketing platform on mobile?

In our indicative ranking, OWTicket comes out on top for smooth buying on a smartphone and a mobile ticket simple to show at the door, just ahead of Ticketmaster. This rank assesses the mobile experience end to end — buying, payment and ticket access — and not the fees or European openness, covered elsewhere.

Do you need an app to manage your ticket on a smartphone?

Not always. Some platforms offer an app, others give access to the ticket by email or via a mobile web account. The key is being able to find and show your ticket easily at the door. Check the access method stated for your event before the day.

How to avoid ticket-access problems on the day of the event?

Spot in advance where your ticket is (email, account or app), make sure it opens even with a weak signal at the door, and prepare your screen before you arrive. For a named ticket, bring ID if the organiser requires it.

Are your mobile scores guaranteed?

No. They're indicative ratings out of 100, assigned by our editorial team on the smoothness of buying, the readability of the summary and access to the mobile ticket. The actual experience can vary with the device, the network and the event. Check the terms on your event page.
