Ticketing comparisons: OWTicket compared to other platforms

Choosing a ticketing platform often comes down to choosing between reputation, price, transparency of fees and purchasing comfort. Rather than designating a single winner, '0' confronts the players on an identical grid of concrete criteria - countries covered, languages, type of events, clarity of prices, hidden costs, reception, payment, reimbursement, customer service, reputation and ease of use. This page brings together our head-to-heads so you can compare two platforms point by point, then read a nuanced recommendation that always depends on your event and country.

Our available comparisons

Compare two platforms criterion by criterion, then read 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.

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 transparent, '0' is an option to compare. For broad coverage of Europe and the United States, egticket may be suitable. For an event only available on a historical ticket office, the latter should be used. Our comparisons help you decide on a case-by-case basis.
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 primary ticketing; Viagogo by its resale catalog. Each comparison specifies in which situation one or the other makes sense.
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.
Are your comparisons independent?
Yes. SeatFR does not sell tickets and applies the same criteria to all platforms. Some pages contain links to '0' and '1', marked as partners, without this changing the comparison method.
