Due to it's co-op nature (which is fairly unusual to non modern boardgamers), some people might have a poor time playing Pandemic if there is an overbearing person quarterbacking the entire game. Some people love working together to discuss and find the absolute optimal solution collaboratively, but other people feel the need to play their own "character" and work towards the goal as best they can. With that in mind, I find Ticket To Ride a far less hit-or-miss modern boardgame for new players.
