LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Ticketmaster has unveiled a fully functioning ticketing app designed to work with Facebook's Timeline, and according to Ticketmaster is the only fully functioning ticketing app on Facebook.
The app allows music fans to browse browse events, view events their friends are attending, read reviews, build their own upcoming show list by using the “I want to go” feature, RSVP to let their friends know which events they are attending and purchase any Ticketmaster ticket directly through Facebook.
The app is designed to deliver personalized suggestions or "Recommended Events" by integrating the "Listens" that people have chosen to share on Facebook from music services like Spotify and based off of the artists and teams they have chosen to Like. Fans can indicate “I want to go” and “I just bought tickets” to let their friends know about their plans.
