About ticketbande
ticketbande – Europe’s pioneer in ticket marketplaces
The story of ticketbande began in 2001 with a visionary idea: anyone looking for a ticket to a completely sold-out event should still be able to get one. What began as a direct ticket sales service evolved in 2003 into Europe’s first commercial ticket trading platform – a marketplace where professional sellers pool their ticket allocations. Since 2005, ticketbande has also been open to private individuals. Anyone unable to attend on the day of the event can now pass their ticket on to other fans securely and hassle-free.
Today, ticketbande is the global go-to platform for sold-out concerts, festivals and sporting highlights. Whether it’s the Bundesliga, the Champions League or international arena shows: when official advance sales have long since ended, our marketplace offers a reliable solution on the secondary market. With a presence in ten European countries and services in the respective local languages, fans worldwide trust us. Over two decades, more than a million customers have already benefited from our expertise – as impressively confirmed by positive Trustpilot reviews.
How ticketbande works
On ticketbande, you don’t buy directly from us, but from verified commercial sellers or private individuals. To guarantee the highest level of security, we check every listing after it is published.
- Comprehensive protection: We safeguard every purchase with our special buyer protection scheme, which protects both buyers and sellers. You can find details on our Buyer Protection page.
- Personal support: Our customer service team is available daily from 08:00 to 22:00. We resolve issues directly and personally – without days of waiting.
- Data security: A state-of-the-art server system protects your data using the latest technology.
Innovation: The patented seat rating
ticketbande sets new standards in transparency. We have developed our own patent for assessing seat quality at concerts. The system analyses each seat individually: viewing angles, the exact distance to the stage and the acoustics are mathematically assessed, making the quality visible even before you buy. The integration of this system on our website is coming soon and will help you make an even more informed decision for your perfect live experience.
ticketbande is no ordinary ticket shop. We are the marketplace for that moment when everyone else says: Sold out.
