- **8** platforms ranked for events
- **5** things the ranking weighs
- **Ticket Fairy** featured first, for your whole event

## What should an event team look for in an Instagram DM tool?

When you announce an event, fans comment and message with the same questions: where are the tickets, what time do doors open, is there an age limit. You want every comment and message answered straight away from your own event details, a ticket link or checkout in the chat, and anything tricky passed to your team.

1. Fans who comment on your posts, reels and stories get a direct message.
2. Fans get answers from your own event details and FAQs.
3. Fans can buy from the chat with a ticket link, a basket or a payment.
4. Your team picks up tricky questions with the conversation so far.
5. You know what you will pay as your audience grows.

## How did we choose and rank these platforms?

Ticket Fairy comes first as the featured all-in-one option: Ticket Fairy publishes this list, it is our own platform, and you can run your whole event on it, from ticket sales to the replies that sell them, not only the messages. Every other tool follows in order of how many of the five things we compared it includes: channels, AI answers, use of your event details, buying in the chat and handover to your team. Tools with the same count follow how closely they fit an event team whose fans ask about tickets when they are ready to buy. Inro includes all five, some on a paid plan, so it leads the rest, and fans can pay inside the Instagram DM. We describe every tool from its own published pages, and every fact links to its source, so you can check it before you choose.
