TicketNews.com developed the algorithm for the exclusive weekly rankings of
the industry's ticket sellers. Top sellers rankings and power scores are
based on web traffic received by a ticket seller's website. The power score
is highly correlated with the number of transactions from the TicketNetwork
Exchange(TM), the world's largest secondary ticket market exchange. A top
seller power score illustrates a given seller's category-specific
significance. Three factors obtained from multiple independent resources,
including comScore and Hitwise, are used to compare sellers within a
particular category.
1. Number of unique visitors (IP addresses visiting a website in a
24-hour period).
2. Number of visits (a series of one or more page requests by a visitor
without 30 consecutive minutes of inactivity).
3. Page views (the average number of unique pages viewed by a unique
visitor).
Top seller power scores should only be used to compare sellers within a
particular category. TicketNews.com also ranks the top events weekly. For
