Songkick Now A Viable Ticket Alternative

Social concert and ticketing app Songkick recently announced that it passed the 10 million user per month mark who have purchased $100 million in tickets via the app since 2007. The service is growing rapidly and expects to sell another $100 this year alone.

Songkick has diversified its partnerships to YouTube, Google, BBC, Spotify, Vevo and other music related sites, which may account for its recent growth. The London-based company also reports that 60% of its traffic comes from mobile devices, and half of its users are in the United States.

This is an increasingly competitive section of the business, especially with band-oriented sites like ReverbNation, BadsInTown and Bandpage offering show listings, but the company not only offers personalized concert tracking, but retail and aftermarket sales, which makes it different from most other services.

The site lists more than 100,000 upcoming shows and over 1 million artists. The app is available for both iOS and Android, and provides a Facebook app as well.
