Event Ticketing UX research

Give ticket buyers the information they need earlier

A ticket purchase commits people to a particular event, time and seat. Hidden fees, unavailable options and unclear sightlines can undermine that decision. Explore research on the information buyers need before booking, and the interactions that help them compare tickets without repeatedly starting over or leaving the site.

Explore research-backed guidelines, annotated examples and industry benchmarks to inform design reviews, briefs and the improvements your team wants to test.
