OK, be CAREFUL. I checked a couple of this and it seems like it compares only third party websites, so make sure you check the OFFICIAL website for the attraction. An example: the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, on this website the lowest is 27 euro but from the official website you can get the same fast track ticket for 17(+4) euro.

Maybe you can find something good here, but always do some extra research.

> compares only third party website... the official website (was cheaper)

Not surprisingly all the links are affiliate tagged "&partner_id=2FA2B&partner_visitor_id=9lvgkk3kpaa8&psrc=partner_api" so yeah, they only want to show you things that will give them a kick-back.

So not really helpful as a one-stop-shop.

Currently for us the limiting factor is API availability. Most of the official sites don't offer an API so we would need to scrape them one by one. For sites which offer an affiliate program we joined to finance the project but our ranking is not dependent on what we earn but strictly on price.

Exactly, I went down the rabbit hole, saw $69 Book of Mormon Broadway tickets; decided to do the clickthroughs. Took me to headout.com where the listing occurs, boom total price $162 for 1 ticket ($130 ticket, $32 fees) - I don't even know where they got the $69 from without pulling out of thin air.

We double checked that. $69 (excl. fees) seems to be not available on all dates. We could not find a case where the price we show are not correct.

You can check prices by date by using the calendar button above the section with the product listings at: https://www.ticketlens.com/en/g7758

I'd say then the "Select an Offer" section feels a bit misleading.

Using our example, I'm seeing "headout.com - available today". The impression I get from this is I am able to get a ticket for today. Looking on the right, I see "from $86.25". This gives me the impression that I can get a ticket for today, starting as low as $86.

Clicking through the link however shows the tickets for today are $159. I get that on headout.com, when they say "from $69" they are implying there are days where tickets are $69, and I think it comes from nothing on their site saying "available today".

On your site however, I read it as I mentioned above. As my first click through resulted in an unexpected price hike (again, from my expectations, not reality), I had the same mental connection I have looking at coupons on RetailMeNot - I assume that most of the coupons are bogus or personal affiliation links. Not knocking the product, but this was my "user experience" interacting with it for the first time.

Thanks for the feedback!! We are planning on adding these! Our first version though includes 6 big providers which have worldwide reach. We did some test and vs some official sites we are cheaper (e.g. Empire State) however on some we are a bit more expensive (e.g. Vatican Museum). But as said we are planning to add all of them.
