Calendars and Emails Updated

We just rolled out a few updates to make it easier to find and buy tickets to that next awesome show. Since our launch we have been working tirelessly to improve our data so that we can efficiently bring you the best shows. So, we’ve gone ahead and made a few changes that you guys have been asking for.

1. We are now automatically adding shows to your calendars.

This means that you can now place the Bandsintown widget on your myspace / blog / or other social network and your concert listings will automatically update itself. This will make it easier for you to hear about the shows you want to see without having to do the work of manually updating your calendar. You may still remove shows on your calendar by going to the event and removing it if it’s something you just don't want to see.

This change also automatically adds you to the list of "who's going" to the event on your calendar. This is temporary and we will be adding a better way to indicate if you will actually be "attending" a show or not.

2. You will now receive emails about your shows earlier, as well as when tickets will go on sale.

The second change we made was our biggest feature request. When we launched we were sending out one email a week that would include show reminders. We often heard complaints that all too often tickets were sold out or people had already made plans, and although they were excited to hear about the show, they wished they had known earlier. So we went ahead and now in your weekly emails you will also receive early announcements for when tickets go on sale as well as when new shows are announced.

We are pumped about the positive response we’ve been getting about Bandsintown. We’ve been working on a lot of improvements so definitely let us know if you have any suggestions at: http://www.bandsintown.com/feedback
