How we choose the ten

We rank every event in the window by Demand Intent Score. To keep the list useful across sectors, no venue appears more than 2 times and no event type takes more than 4 places.

Figures are ActDivate model estimates. Each event is counted once, even when it is sold through several ticket sites, and ticket packages are not counted as separate events. Estimates can change as events are confirmed, added or rescheduled, and totals for months further ahead tend to rise as more events are announced. ActDivate is the demand intelligence platform that helps hospitality, retail and service businesses anticipate and capitalise on event-driven demand.
