Ticketmaster is helping fans discover tickets to live events by integrating with social, entertainment and music apps. Through a new collaboration with Shazam and existing partnerships with TikTok and Snapchat, Ticketmaster powers more event discovery by meeting fans where they are, making it easier than ever for artists to connect fans to their live events.
I love that you can now Shazam a song and immediately buy concert tickets on Ticketmaster, said Meghan Trainor. Its genius!
Ticketmasters integration with Shazam, available in all Ticketmaster markets, enables artists to link their Ticketmaster events directly in the app, so that fans can see where their new favorite artist is playing whenever they Shazam a new track. Its the latest addition to Ticketmasters existing platform integrations on Snapchat, fans can browse Ticketmasters complete catalog of upcoming events anywhere in the world by using Snap Map. And on TikTok, Certified Artists can easily share links to their Ticketmaster events so that fans can get tickets without leaving the app. All three help facilitate easier event discovery and ticket buying for both artists and fans.
To celebrate their platform expansion, Ticketmaster has tapped Trainor, NIKI and Peach Tree Rascals to show fans how easy it is to find Ticketmaster events using TikTok, Snap and Shazam in a new campaign called Music Finds You.
For us, music is all about connection. Ticketmasters integration with Snap Map means that our fans can easily discover when were in town performing, creating a space for us to unite and vibe together live, said Peach Tree Rascals. Its a win-win situation bringing us closer to our fans and spreading the love.
Im so excited for fans to be able to scroll through TikTok and buy Ticketmaster tickets for their favorite artists shows right away, said Niki. This Ticketmaster integration makes the concert-going process a lot more streamlined. It feels like it should have always been this way in the first place!
Ticketmaster was the first ticketing platform to partner on a product integration within TikTok in 2022, and was the only ticketing company to integrate with Snap Maps Layers feature, which allows users to view events near them directly in the Snap Map. Ticketmasters Shazam integration is the newest tool for artists to connect with their fans innovating the live event experience and bringing fan engagement offline and into the real world. This year, 42% of fans have reported that they didnt attend a concert they wanted to, simply because they didnt hear about it beforehand now, Ticketmaster is giving artists the tools they need to ensure fans dont miss out on their shows.
At Ticketmaster, we are constantly working to enhance the live event experience. Our collaborations with platforms like Shazam are designed to make it easy for artists to connect their fans to their live events, says Dan Armstrong, Executive Vice President of Distributed Commerce at Ticketmaster. By seamlessly integrating ticket purchases with moments of musical discovery, were not only ensuring fans never miss out on unforgettable live shows but also fostering a deeper connection with the artists they love.
