## How we chose and ranked them

How did we choose and rank these platforms?

Ticket Fairy publishes this list and features its own platform first. You can run your whole venue on it, from tickets and seat maps to artist contracts, crew and the doors. Other platforms rank by how many of these five capabilities they include: payouts, reserved seating, door scanning, marketing tools and your buyer data. Ties are decided by fit for a venue, where seat maps, fast doors and bringing regulars back matter most. Tessitura, AudienceView, Ticketsolve, Showpass, SimpleTix, TicketLeap and Eventbrite include all five, Showpass with assigned seating on its Professional plan. Etix does not publish its payout timing, and on Ticket Tailor each reserved seat uses an extra credit, so each counts four of the five. We describe every platform from its own published pages, and every fact links to its source, so you can check it before you choose.
