Getting your hands on a ticket for that must see concert is not always plain sailing, whether it’s standing outside ticket retailers in the pouring rain or spending hours hitting the refresh button on sites like Ticketmaster or BoxOfficeHero, waiting to be first in line to buy hard-to-get tickets - buying tickets can sometimes feel like hell on earth. All is not lost however - there is light at the end of the tunnel - thanks laregly to the availability of a number of truly smart iPhone apps that make buying concert tickets a fun and enjoyable experience, believe it or not!
Here are what I consider the top four iphone apps for buying concert tickets.
1. Bandsintown (Free)
Download via iTunes
A personalized concert calendar based on the music stored in your iPhone Music library gives this app a really personal feel. No more scanning through endless listings of bands or artists that don’t interest you at all. Bandsintown will give you updates on tour dates and even line ups for different venues on your favorite artist’s tour. It’s also possible to sync Bandsintown with your iTunes, last.fm, and Spotify accounts making it a very user friendly app.
Verdict – Ease of use and great syncing abilities make this app one of the most popular ticket apps on iTunes. Definitely worth a look.
2. Live Nation (Free)
Download via iTunes
Finding local concerts and tickets on the Live Nation app is a very simple affair. Their most recent update has also done away with those annoying CAPTCHA boxes from the buying process which is a very nice touch. Live Nation’s most notable feature though is the ability to save tickets and then use your phone to gain entry to the venue.
Verdict – Tickets are easily forgotten or misplaced but with tickets saved to your phone the chances are you won’t be standing outside the concert searching your pockets for that missing stub. A nice little app.
3. eSeats (Free)
Download via iTunes
eSeats boasts that you can buy tickets to almost any concert even when the event is sold out. It’s a bold claim but, judging by their customer reviews, a pretty accurate one. It seems that eSeats’ most endearing quality is its devotion to customer service and when it comes to buying tickets, what more do you want other than pure satisfaction. They will deliver your tickets by FedEx or email so no matter how late you purchase they guarantee delivery.
Verdict – The ability to purchase tickets for sold out events and a 100% money back guarantee makes eSeats one of the top apps for customer satisfaction.
4. StubHub (Free)
Download via iTunes
The world’s largest ticket marketplace on your iPhone. This is the app to beat all others and StubHub does everything you could wish for in a concert ticket app. You can choose your seats from in app venue maps, you can share events via Twitter or Facebook so your friends know how lucky you are. You can even sell your extra tickets and make them available for instant download to the buyers. This wonderful app has it all.
Verdict – If you want one app that does it all then StubHub is your only choice. The must have app for buying concert tickets.
