How it is counted
Counted are the events listed on Ventranet whose first day falls in September 2026, by the date and time in Zurich. Events taken off the site are not counted. Only finished months with at least 10 events get a report.
Cities are the 20 city hubs the site sorts events into. An event in two sectors is counted in both, so the sector rows add up to 89, not 77. Prices are in Swiss francs, as the organisers state them; for each paid event, its cheapest ticket counts. An organiser is new in the month of its first event on Ventranet.
