TicketNews Exclusive Rankings and Power Scores are based on ticket sales from the TicketNetwork Exchangeâ„¢, the world’s largest secondary market exchange. A Power Score illustrates a given event’s category-specific significance. Two factors are used to calculate a power score: total ticket sales from the given event and total ticket sales within the category. As such, power scores should only be used to compare events within a particular category.
