Methodology, sources and inaccuracy reporting

Methodology: The matrix above includes only dimensions we can verify from TicketWiz's own published material on the date listed. Where a competitor capability would require speculating, we leave it off the matrix and instead list TKKT's own features in a separate "What TKKT is built around" section. Where we quote a specific percentage or rand amount, it is taken from the source linked below and was correct on the review date. Where a platform does not publish a specific figure, we describe only the existence of a fee rather than guessing at its size, and we never take a competitor's fee figure from a rival's comparison page.
