We’re so proud to work with these venues and to be celebrating them with our award series,” said Tiqets CEO Laurens Leurink.

 

The selection of the winners is based on 1.1 million+ customer reviews on Tiqets.com, with the exception of the Best Hidden Gem and Most Innovative Venue awards, which are based on applications evaluated by a panel of judges.

All regional winners have been automatically entered into the competition to win the title of Global Winner in their category. To become a Global Winner, venues will have to be voted best in their category, which will be decided by a round of consumer voting between now and October 19.
