(CelebrityAccess) — Bandsintown announced the launch of an expanded Presale system, allowing artists to launch ticket presales for tours and events through the concert and music discovery platform.
The system allows artists to publish tour dates on their website and socials using free Bandsintown for Artists tools, allowing fans to sign up phone number and email to be automatically notified when presale tickets become available in their market, regardless of the ticketing company used by the venue.
Additionally, all events are recommended to fans with relevant interests, drawn from the company’s 90+ million global users as well as through integrations with Spotify, Google, Shazam, and Apple.
The self-serve feature also allows for unlimited free presale signups and email alerts and Bandsintown is offering free SMS alerts for all artists through the end of the year and will introduce competitively priced SMS alerts beginning January 1, 2025.
Hundreds of artists, including Chappell Roan, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples, Tinashe, and Kehlani, have already found success with presales using Bandsintown, the company said.
“Presales have become the new onsales, and our new Presales feature gives artists of all sizes everything they need to control their own presales.” said Bandsintown co-founder and managing partner Fabrice Sergent. “Presales are an important moment when artists reward their superfans, grow their email and SMS lists, own their data, and can continue to engage fans on their own terms.”
The new system can be used on both the Bandsintown platform, as well as through a white label custom presale service that is available for major artists and tours.
