Ticketfly is an innovative new concert app that is the result of the Ticketfly company's take over of the WillCall app.
With WillCall due to be retired, Ticketfly will now take over as the leading app for live music enthusiasts interested in checking out and purchasing tickets to curated concerts in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Interestingly, TicketFly will only include concerts that it sells tickets for directly, and so will exclude concerts whose tickets are being sold through Ticketmaster or EventBrite.
Ultimately, this concert app is a great choice for people who like the idea of getting notifications about their favorite musicians' concerts, and accessing curated lists of concerts that enable them to even discover new musical acts.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Curated Concert Apps
- Ticketfly and similar apps curate concert listings for users.
- Ticket Sales Consolidation
- Ticketfly's acquisition of WillCall consolidates concert ticket sales under one app.
