In their own words
"Songkick is a comprehensive concert listings website that makes it easy to go to shows. It was too much work to keep track of when our favorite bands were coming to town, organize to go with friends, and buy tickets. We subscribed to band/label/venue mailing lists, used multiple tour trackers, and read music blogs/Pitchfork religiously for tour news. We did all these things because we never found a single site we could safely trust to know we would never miss our favorite bands play. So we built the music listings website that we wanted.
We cover more than just Ticketmaster events. A band's tour often has different vendors selling tickets. If you went straight to Ticketmaster, you wouldn't find out about many performances. We have listings from 10 ticket vendors in the US and UK: Ticketmaster, TicketWeb, Live Nation, Tickets.com, Groove Tickets, See Tickets, We Got Tickets, Ticketline, StubHub!, and Seatwave. We have no affiliation with Ticketmaster, TicketWeb, Live Nation, Tickets.com, or See Tickets, but tell you what tickets they're selling so you see all the options.
When there are multiple vendors for a single show, you can choose the cheapest ticket. We have tens of thousands of concerts currently in our database, and we add more every day."
Why it might be a killer
SongKick.com is easy to navigate and has detailed information on all of its applications. The SongKicker and BandManager are great ideas for tracking concerts. All users have to do is download the applications and they instantly receive information on concerts that interest them. The BandManager goes even further and helps users filter their playlists. The site's blog is a good way for users to get information on music concerts and tours from reliable music critics. SongKick.com offers many ways of finding affordable concerts that interest the user.
Some questions
SongKick.com could add some images or media, or maybe music to its homepage, since it tracks concerts. The interface is a bit dull. When you get the listings of concerts it does not say when the tickets will be on sale or how much they are. When will this information be added to SongKick.com? Once SongKick.com has worked out any remaining kinks it has, are there any plans of expanding to include international concert listings in the future?
