We can’t say enough great things about Bradley Smith from Bandsintown for Artists. We had multiple old and duplicate artist accounts floating around Bandsintown, and Bradley took the time to trac... See more

PRIVACY CONCERN
Tries to access your Facebook account without permission
On the band pages there are buttons and links to buy tickets to a particular show. Clicking to get tickets will open a new tab to another site. Before bandsintown.com sends you there, it attempts to access your Facebook account.
I got a warning from Facebook because my permissions are all turned off.
If you want to to see this:
1. Log into Facebook in another tab
2. Turn off "Apps and Websites" permission
3. In another tab go to any band page
4. Click a button to buy tickets to a show
5. You end up on a page in Facebook asking if you want to turn on "Apps, Websites and Games" so that the website can "request my facebook info" and interact with my facebook features.
This is bad. Stay away.
The problem isn't the destination website. It's bandsintown.com that's interacting with Facebook. I confirmed this by looking at the url sent to Facebook.

Do not trust for ticket alerts
Do not trust for ticket alerts. I saw a gig I wanted to attend, tickets not on sale yet and couldn’t see the date when they would go on sale.
I decided to sign up for notification when they go on sale.
The notification came through almost 2 hours after the tickets sold out, completely useless.
Use other means to find out when tickets go on sale!

One of my favorite apps
One of my favorite apps. Always good to pick out a show on the fly or to see what’s coming up. Very convenient to order tickets through as well.
