Is there nothing more beautiful for you than a live concert of your favorite band or visiting festivals all summer long? Make sure you don’t miss anything with these six concert apps.
Concert apps so you don’t miss a thing
Find cool shows or festivals, buy tickets or sell them again and arrange everything properly for the event itself. As a music lover, there is quite a bit to consider if you regularly go to a live show. iPhoned list the most useful apps to have on your iPhone as a concertgoer.
1. Song Kick
Before you can go to a concert, you need to know which shows can be found. With Songkick you can keep an eye on all the concerts of your favorite artists. Follow artists and automatically receive a notification when a concert is planned near you. You will also see other tour dates and ticket prices.
Thanks to the possibility to receive an alert when a show is almost sold out, you will never be left empty-handed. Plus, you can easily follow all your favorite artists by importing your music library into Apple Music, Spotify, or likes on Facebook.
2. Eventbrite
Eventbrite not only gives you a clear overview of concerts, but also of festivals, parties or even lectures and workshops. By indicating what kind of events you are interested in and at which location, you can see what can be done in that area in the near future.
Found a great festival? You can immediately purchase tickets in the app itself, which are then also stored in it. With the push of a button, you can also put the tickets in your Apple Wallet app. Would you rather know what your friends think of it first? Every event has a share and like button, so you can save events or quickly share them via social media.
3. Ticketmaster Netherlands
For tickets for almost all large (and small) concerts, dance and theater performances, you can contact Ticketmaster. The ticket sales company makes it possible to access your tickets anytime, anywhere with the Ticketmaster app. As soon as you have downloaded tickets via the app, you can always open them offline.
This way you no longer have to print your ticket or look for the attachment with the right ticket at the entrance in your mailbox. Not only can you buy those tickets via the app, but also sell them if necessary. Via the app you can offer tickets purchased from Ticketmaster on their own ticket marketplace.
4. TicketSwap
In recent years TicketSwap has become a household name in the safe sale and purchase of tickets for all kinds of events. The app is very simple and lets you search for events by location or by name. By placing a call, you will receive an alert as soon as tickets are available, which is certainly a godsend at sold-out, popular events.
When selling your ticket, you go through a clear step-by-step plan where you can indicate a price yourself. A big advantage of TicketSwap is that the maximum price of a ticket is taken into account, so that no large extortionate amounts can be asked for wanted tickets. In addition, you must link your account with Facebook as an identity check, and the money from tickets sold will be back in your account within a few days.
5. AFAS Live Food & Drinks
Waiting endlessly at a crowded bar until you can finally order a drink, while suddenly you hear the band playing your favorite song. If you are in the AFAS Live, you no longer have to experience such situations. With the AFAS Live Food & Drinks app, you can already order drinks or food while you are in the hall. Collect the order from your friends, pay via iDeal and you will automatically receive a notification when your order is ready at the bar.
Thanks to a special pick-up point at the bar, you’ll have your order in hand in no time, and you can enjoy the concert without any hassle. Check the app to see if the service is offered at the concert you are attending.
6. Shazam
Are you enjoying a musical evening when you suddenly hear the DJ or band play an unknown song? Shazam will recognize the music for you by listening in for a moment. With Auto Shazam, the app will listen all night, even if the app isn’t open. That way you never miss a new gem.
By linking your Apple Music or Spotify account, you can easily place the song in a playlist afterwards. It is also handy that the app works with the Apple Watch, so you can just leave your iPhone in your pocket.
In addition to Shazam, there are other useful apps to recognize music. If, in addition to being a concert enthusiast, you’re also a musician yourself, there are plenty of handy music apps that help you produce or save new songs.
