Which is the best app for buying concert tickets in 2026?

I'm trying to go to an Anitta show in São Paulo, but I get confused with so many ticket apps. There's Ticketmaster, Sympla, Ingressos.com... which one do you guys actually use? Which one is more reliable and doesn't charge crazy fees?

Don't fall into the trap of buying straight from random websites or sketchy marketplaces, because that's how you end up with fake tickets. In practice, I always check what the official platform is that the venue is using - like, if the show is at Allianz Parque or a bigger stadium, they usually make it pretty clear which system is selling them. Between Ticketmaster and Sympla, the real difference is that Sympla tends to charge lower fees for smaller events, but for a big show like Anitta in São Paulo, both will be there and the final price ends up being similar. The safe bet is to go straight to the stadium's or event's official website and buy from there, without jumping around between apps.

Have you already checked if the venue's own website is selling tickets directly? Because usually Ticketmaster and Sympla are the two biggest ones, but it really depends on the event - a lot of shows in São Paulo go through Sympla and you end up paying less in fees. Ingressos.com exists, but I see more people using the first two. The thing is there's no universal "best"; what matters is where the Anitta show is going to be on sale, then you just buy there. If you have the option between Sympla and Ticketmaster for the same event, Sympla usually ends up cheaper because of the fees, but that varies.

Sympla tends to be cheaper on fees than Ticketmaster, at least from my experience. It's worth going straight to the stadium or venue's website to see which platform they list as selling that specific Anitta show, because sometimes the fees vary from one place to another. Once you find out which is the official platform, search Google reviews for the most recent complaints about ticket delivery, because that really does vary a lot.
