# Great Gig Guarantees Ticketometer Guarantees Great Turnouts for Fans and Performers By Jared Lindzon | Published 2011-08-11 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticket-service-guarantees-sales References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/entertainment/ticketing-service-guarantees-sell-out-gigs/) & [ticketometer](http://www.ticketometer.com/) Arriving at a [concert venue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/td-coliseum) to find that it's mostly empty can be a real downer for both audience and performer, but a new [ticketing service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sailgp) called Ticketometer has found a way to guarantee a [good turnout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/add2calio). Essentially, the system makes it easy for bands and fans to rest assured knowing they won't arrive to an empty show. While entering their information into the website, bands put in their "set-off point," or the amount of tickets they need to sell in order to assure that the event is profitable and well attended. The set-off point is visible to all hopeful attendees, as the artist then sells their tickets through Ticketometer. If the set-off point is not reached the show is canceled and the fans are fully refunded for their tickets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/market) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Guaranteed Turnouts:** Ticketometer guarantees a good turnout by ensuring that bands set a minimum ticket sales threshold for their shows. - **Transparent Ticketing:** The Ticketometer system allows bands to display their set-off point, giving fans visibility on the number of tickets needed to make the event profitable. - **Risk-free Ticket Purchasing:** Through Ticketometer, fans can purchase tickets with the confidence that if the set-off point is not reached, they will receive a full refund. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Ticketing:** The event ticketing industry can benefit from adopting Ticketometer's model to provide guarantees for both performers and fans, increasing attendance rates. - **Music Industry:** Ticketometer disrupts the music industry by creating a system that minimizes the risk of empty shows and allows bands to focus on their performances. - **Technology:** The use of Ticketometer's ticketing platform showcases the innovative ways technology can be implemented to improve concert experiences for all stakeholders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surprise Concert Tickets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-nation-shuffle-tickets.md) - [Live Music Booking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gig-app1.md) - [Music Ticketing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fix-tixflation.md) - [Anti-Theft Peer-To-Peer Transaction Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peertopeer-transaction.md) - [Data-Driven Ticket Reselling Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seatgeek-next-fan-up.md) - [Social App-Sourced Tickets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktok-7.md) - [Music Service Concert Tickets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-tickets.md) - [TikTok Event Tickets Feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticketmaster.md) - [Concert Discovery Platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shazam-events.md)
