Best for arenas and attractions running ProVenue
Tickets.com sells ProVenue, a ticketing system for arenas, theaters and attractions, with a web shop, access control and email marketing. No price is published, only a demo request, and it is sold to venues, not small organisers.
Who Tickets.com is for
- Fits if you run an arena, theater or attraction with a back office
- Works for venues that want ticketing, access and email from one vendor
Who Tickets.com is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, as the site offers only a demo
- Not for you if you sell a few tickets for an event, since it is sold to venues
- Watch out: the consumer site at tickets.com is a resale marketplace and is not this product
- Watch out: implementation and developer programs are separate services

Keep Tickets.com, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Tickets.com you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 57 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Tickets.com’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
