Adding concerts to TicketStumbler will be huge. I have always hated trying to find concert tickets on Ticketmaster.

Another problems I've always found with concert tickets is that as soon as you get away from the mainstream, tickets are difficult to find. Sometimes you have to purchase them in person at some obscure shop, which is very inconvenient, especially if you're coming from out of town.

Hey Omakase, if you've had trouble finding tickets check out Songkick. We've built the largest database (over 20 ticket vendors now) of ticketed concerts in the world so hopefully can help.

Hey Ian -- I've used Songkick before, the itunes plugin is a brilliant idea and I like seeing your widget on all the music blogs I read.

Unfortunately, most of the time the shows I'm interested in only show up on very niche forums -- but services like Songkick are definitely making things easier than they were four years ago.

hey man i'm sorry to hear we've missed some of the stuff you go to. it's a big priority for us to go right to the very end of the tail.

we have though got pretty much every ticketed concert in the UK and US listed so would love to see examples of stuff we're missing when you come across them (ian at our domain).

Keep at it & get down under. We like music too & we can't find it ;)

I like how TicketStumbler threads always turn in to Songkick threads. Good thing I like you guys. ;p
