  • 300x higher earnings compared to streaming platforms
  • Exclusive content and direct artist interaction
  • Integrated merchandise and music sales

Data & Analytics

  • Free ticket scanning app tracks attendance
  • Detailed fan engagement metrics
  • Valuable data for labels and promoters

Show4me combines features from platforms like Eventbrite, Sofar Sounds, Indiegogo, and social media into a single ecosystem. With $13.5 million in funding, the platform aims to provide artists with comprehensive tools for:

  • Concert organization
