Ticketing comparisons: choose where to buy with confidence

Choosing where to buy your tickets often comes down to comparing reputation, price, transparency of costs and comfort. Rather than designating a single winner, we put the platforms face to face on an identical grid of concrete criteria, in the spirit of a peaceful purchasing journey: countries covered, languages, type of events, clarity of prices, hidden costs, reception, payment, reimbursement, customer service, notoriety and simplicity. This page brings together our face-to-face meetings to help you decide with confidence, point by point, before taking out your card.

Our available comparisons

Compare two options criterion by criterion, then follow our nuanced recommendation.

The eleven criteria we compare

To remain honest from one face-to-face meeting to the next, we always apply the same grid: 'T0' countries covered 'T1', 'T2' languages available 'T3', 'T4' type of events 'T5', 'T6' price transparency 'T7', hidden fees, receipt of tickets, secure payment, refund, customer service, awareness and ease of use. No platform dominates on all these axes: this is precisely the point of comparing rather than ranking, and the best way to buy where you feel confident.

Frequently asked questions

Which ticketing platform to choose?
It depends on your event, your country and your priorities. For a multilingual European purchase with prices highlighted as clear, '0' is an option to compare. For broad coverage of Europe and the United States, egticket may be suitable. For an event only sold through an official ticket office, the latter should be used. Our comparisons help you decide case by case, with peace of mind.
Is '1' better than '0' or '2'?
There is no universal answer. OWTicket stands out for its European, multilingual approach and its claimed transparency on prices; Ticketmaster by its notoriety and its official ticketing status; Viagogo by its resale catalog. Each comparison specifies in which situation one or the other makes sense to buy with confidence.
Why compare official ticketing and resale?
Because they are two very different models. The official ticket office sells at the original value on behalf of the organizer; resale brings individuals into contact, often above face value. The guarantees, prices and risks are not the same: our dedicated comparison puts them side by side to help you choose with peace of mind.
Are your comparisons independent?
Yes. Webookticket does not sell tickets and applies the same criteria to all platforms. Some pages contain partner links to '0' and '1', marked as such, without this changing the comparison method.
