Changes in Ticketing Software Threaten Big Companies Like Ticketmaster

For many years, the entertainment industry has used ticketing software to manage events, sell tickets, and track attendance. Although Ticketmaster has been the leading company in this field for a long time, the emergence of new ticketing software platforms is challenging its dominance and transforming the industry.

Many people have been unhappy with Ticketmaster for a while because they charge high fees and have confusing prices, plus they give early access to tickets to certain people. Because Ticketmaster is such a big company, they have a lot of control over how much people have to pay for tickets. Some people also say that Ticketmaster doesn’t play fair making it hard for event organizers to use other companies for selling tickets.

New ticketing software platforms are now available, which are disrupting the traditional approach. These platforms provide better user experience, lower fees, and transparent pricing compared to Ticketmaster. They offer various features such as social integration and personalized recommendation to help users find and purchase tickets more conveniently.

These changes are greatly affecting the ticketing industry, and it is uncertain how they will affect the industry in the future. Nevertheless, new ticketing software platforms are altering the industry terrain and giving customers a wider selection and improved purchasing experiences for event tickets.

Ticketmaster’s Monopoly

For many years, Ticketmaster has been the main company in charge of ticket sales, with a market share of around 80%. Their strong position in the industry has allowed them to dictate prices and fees, leading to increased costs for customers. Ticketmaster’s pricing model is complex and includes several types of fees, like convenience fees, processing fees, and delivery fees, which has resulted in criticism from both the public and politicians.

In addition, Ticketmaster has been criticized for their ticket presales that are only available to certain customers, such as rewards program members or certain credit card holders. This practice makes it tough for the general public to obtain tickets, resulting in accusations of bias and many fans being unable to purchase tickets for popular events.

The Emergence of New Ticketing Software Platforms

Ticketing software platforms like TicketsCandy are challenging Ticketmaster’s monopoly by providing consumers with more ticket-purchasing options. These platforms offer advantages such as greater choice and convenience compared to Ticketmaster.

Lower Fees

New ticketing software platforms are now available that charge lower fees than Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster has traditionally charged various fees such as convenience fees, processing fees, and delivery fees. The pricing structure of these new ticketing software platforms is more transparent and has fewer hidden fees. For example, TicketsCandy is free for event holders and is transparent about how they can do that.

Better User Experience

Compared to Ticketmaster, new ticketing software platforms are often more user-friendly and provide a better user experience. They offer features like personalized recommendations, social integration, and simpler navigation to enhance user experience.

More Transparency

New ticketing software systems offer better transparency than Ticketmaster by providing consumers with detailed information about ticket pricing, availability, and associated fees. This enables consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

Innovative Features

Compared to Ticketmaster, new ticketing software platforms are often more innovative by offering features such as virtual reality previews, interactive seating charts, and real-time updates on event information.

The Future of Ticketing Software

Companies are likely to improve their services and offer more transparent pricing in the ticketing industry, leading to increased innovation. Some potential trends that may emerge include:

Increased Use of Blockchain Technology

The ticketing industry can be revolutionized by using blockchain technology. It offers a secure and transparent system to track ticket ownership and prevent fraud.

More Personalized Experiences

In the future, ticketing software platforms may offer more personalized features like customized event recommendations and tailored pricing based on a customer’s purchase history.

Integration With Social Media

In the future, it may be possible to buy tickets through social media platforms and share them with friends, as ticketing software becomes more closely linked with social media.

Virtual Reality

The use of virtual reality might be integrated into the ticket-buying process, which would enable customers to see a preview of their seats and the event before buying a ticket.

The Ticketing Industry Is Changing

The ticketing industry is experiencing disruption with the emergence of new software platforms that challenge Ticketmaster’s monopoly. These platforms offer consumers more transparency, a better user experience, and lower fees, which promote innovation in the industry. Although Ticketmaster still rules the market, it faces rising competition from new players, and the industry is currently in a state of change.

Innovation and technology are set to shape the future of the ticket industry, alongside heightened competition between software platforms. Customers can anticipate a more personalized experience, greater use of blockchain technology, and social media integration. Keep an eye on up-and-coming ticketing platforms like TicketsCandy as they continue to make a huge impact on the ticketing industry.
