The latest edition of the International Ticketing Report (formerly the International Ticketing Yearbook) is now available in print, digitally, and on the dedicated year-round mini-site.

The ninth instalment features in-depth profiles of the top 66 live entertainment markets on six continents, as well as insights and information from 150+ companies in each market.
Also included are features on how AI will transform ticketing and what cutting-edge tech firms are innovating.
“In the near-decade since IQ first launched this annual report, we have mapped many of the evolving technologies, services, and commercial operators in the on-sale-driven global ticketing industry, so we thought it would be useful to review how things look currently,” writes ITR editor James Drury and consulting editor Tim Chambers.
