We have made our official launch of GigsWiz Tickets for UK promoters and venues. The launch took place today at Midem, where we are a MidemNet Lab finalist. We also announced agreements with a number of UK promoters including FeedMe Music, HotVox, and Substance Gigs.

This means that all promoters, artists and venues in the UK can now join in the revolution and benefit from the next generation ticketing service where artists, promoters and venues work together to sell more tickets for live music events. The launch comes as the landscape of gig promotion is changing rapidly. Fans are increasingly linked to bands online and the traditional marketing methods used by promoters are increasingly inefficient at reaching fans.

Here’s a video showing how it all works:

For a more complete description of both of the services check out GigsWiz Tickets How-it-works and GigsWiz Backstage How-to-use.

We are on a quest to make the promoters’ and artists’ life easier and according to Matt Lockwood, president of London-based Hot Vox Promotions we feel we are on the right path as it takes a huge amount of time to update all the different websites with gig info at present. “Not only does GigsWiz save us time and trouble, it also helps us increase ticket sales with the direct access to artists’ fans online.”

Andy Boyd of Lazy Eye Management (Pete Doherty, Babyshambles, Vaults, The Valentines) adds, “We believe that these days artists can do as much as promoters to promote and sell tickets for live shows, and we’re looking at GigsWiz as one of the best ways to do just that”.

Details of GigsWiz’ upcoming US launch will be announced shortly.

That’s all for now folks! We’re always looking forward to hearing your feedback and ideas, so send them to support@gigswiz.com or post straight to our community support forums at GetSatisfaction.
