The leader in online ticketing
The story of this industry giant begins when Live Nation merged in 2010 with Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc., acquiring the ticketing site Ticketnet the same year. While the latter had been around since 1997, it was rebranded as Ticketmaster in 2014, the year the platform launched as what would become the world's largest ticket retailer.
Ticketmaster truly lives up to its name. Whether you are looking for tickets to a concert, theater production, festival, exhibition, musical, circus performance, or a football or rugby match, you can find just about any ticket on this site, which functions like a massive digital event kiosk.
Every event on one platform
To be clear, the tickets sold on Ticketmaster belong to the event organizers. Ticketmaster simply acts as the official sales channel, making them available through its websites and apps across roughly 30 countries. It serves as the official ticketing platform for thousands of artistic, sporting, cultural, and recreational events.
To help you navigate such a massive online catalog, the site offers specific categories for each type of event to help you find the right schedule. You can also filter your search by city.
Ticketmaster perks
Beyond being intuitive and easy to navigate, the platform offers a 3D seat selection map that lets you preview your view before you buy.
Another major advantage is the variety of delivery options. Once you have purchased your tickets, you can pick them up for free at over 900 locations in France, have them mailed to you, print them at home, or download them directly to your phone.
For die-hard fans or a unique gift idea, Ticketmaster offers the BilletCollector, a souvenir ticket printed on a commemorative pass featuring the artwork of your favorite show, artist, or festival.
Finally, keep an eye out for the promotions available on Ticketmaster throughout the year.
Ticketmaster is one of the sites I use most to book tickets for concerts or shows. It is very well designed and easy to use. You can easily choose your seats, and the payment is fast and secure. Plus, you get the tickets by email right away.
