International Ticketing Report 2024 out now

The Report features in-depth profiles of the top 66 live entertainment markets around the world, as well as features, interviews and insights

By IQ on 27 Sep 2024


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.

Since it was first published in 2015, the ITR has been the only global guide to the live entertainment ticketing market.

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.

“Ticketing has frequently adopted and integrated with many third-party platforms, including access control and ID verification; queue management and anti-bot systems; payments, wallets, and chargebacks. Plus, ticketing companies are typically the first point of contact for consumers. But at its core, ticketing is about ensuring that ‘tokens granting access to live entertainment’ get into the hands of music fans…

“In such a dynamic landscape, the International Ticketing Report is your guide to the latest information for all these elements of the business. For example, as detailed on page 22, recent developments in AI could affect the ticketing industry even to the extent of redefining what a ‘ticketing’ company is.”
