Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArtsWave at 71% against HRC Tickets's 0%. ArtsWave also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). HRC Tickets's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HRC Tickets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArtsWave has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HRC Tickets's written reviews are positive against 71% of ArtsWave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HRC Tickets ships an update every 5 weeks, ArtsWave fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
