[New App] Live Nation Releases Its App To The Play Store, Lets You Score Tickets On The Go

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News

As predicted by Nostradamus, the "buy concert/event tickets from your mobile device" revolution has been underway for sometime now. But how can I buy tickets without a Live Nation app?! Has been the question on the minds of event-going revolutionaries for many months; it seems time of prophecy is upon us - the Live Nation app is now available in the Play Store.

^{Props to Live Nation for featuring Rush in their Store listing. Excellent choice.}

This app will allow you to see the future [events in your area], bypass the gatekeepers of said events [by purchasing your tickets], be forewarned [of possible sales], and locate like-minded revolutionaries [by using the in-app seating chart].

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, News

If you spend an unhealthy amount of time looking for event tickets, then you've probably been to Ticketmaster a time or ten. And if you've been to Ticketmaster, then you know just how many events are covered under its umbrella.

However, if you're not sitting at your computer when you hear about an event or the mood strikes you to buy tickets of some kind, you were pretty much out of the loop until you made your way to a PC. Now, though, that all changes: Ticketmaster has released its official Android app in to the Play Store.

^{Yep, it's ugly.}

Ticketing Marketplace StubHub Gets Punched Into The Android Market

Posted by Will Shanklin in Applications, News

Say you have some extra tickets to next week's A Flock of Seagulls concert that you want to unload, but you don't particularly want to stand outside of the gate four hours early, calling out "Need tickets?". Starting today, your Android phone can save you the time and humiliation. StubHub, the world's largest ticketing marketplace, has released an app into the Android Market.

Bought by eBay in 2007, StubHub is an online venue for buying and selling second-hand tickets. The popular website has been around for over 10 years, and thankfully, the new Android app does exactly what you would expect it to.

The Peak Of Desperation - Google I/O 2011 Tickets Going For As High As $2000 On eBay

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Google, News

Google's upcoming I/O conference generated quite a bit of commotion earlier this month when all of the tickets offered to the public sold out within 59 minutes in a messy mash-F5-to-get-through-the-crashing-servers rampage. In fact, it got so ridiculous that at first Android Police ended up with no tickets of our own either (don't worry though, I will still be there to provide coverage).

Considering most of the public attention at the conference will be concentrated around Android, it is pretty incredible just how popular it became since last year, when tickets were available for 50 days after going on sale. Whether this year's attendees are after an inevitable prize that historically comes with each ticket (a free phone 2 years ago and 2 free phones a year ago) or are really interested in Google's technologies is unclear, but what is clear is the desperation around making it to the event.
