Entertainment
Ticketmaster is the dominant US ticketing platform, selling primary admission to concerts, sports, and theater for venues nationwide. Charges here usually code as entertainment or ticketing rather than dining or travel, so a card with an entertainment bonus earns the most. Many premium cards also unlock presale access or reserved seats, which can matter more than the points themselves.
