Smartphone concert ticket apps for the best seats in the house
Getting a ticket for that must see show can be a tough job
at the best of times, but getting a ticket for the gig that includes decent
seats at the venue can sometimes seem like mission impossible. Some of us will
go to any lengths to get to a show but sitting behind a pillar or in a dark
corner with no view and terrible sound is not something you want to happen.
Sites such as TicketMaster and Concert ticket specialists BoxOfficeHero will help you to choose
your seats, with venue maps to help you through the process - but this is a
feature not always found in concert ticket apps. Here we’ll take a look at four
of the best apps for choosing great seats, and to ensure that you always know
what’s on wherever you are, and can get tickets as early as possible.
Songkick

Songkick has become one the most popular concert ticket apps
for Smartphones and it’s easy to see why. For every concert that is listed, you
can see the line-up, all the ticket options, invite friends, or add to your
device's calendar. But for choosing seats, the in app venue maps are very well
laid out and extremely accurate. You can also add worldwide locations so even
if you are buying tickets for a venue you’ve never been to, Songkick helps you
avoid any unpleasant surprises.

add new locations from around the world make Songkick an app that’s definitely
worth checking out.

eSeats claims to have the best customer service of any
concert ticket app and their money back guarantee for unhappy customers is an
offer not all ticket apps are so eager to make. eSeats is a great resource for
finding tickets to sold out concerts and they always seem to have a generous
supply of the best tickets for the best seats for all the top gigs. And their
color coded venue maps make choosing tickets a simple and pain free experience.

are already sold out, you should look no further than the eSeats app.
StubHub
(Free)
The world’s largest ticket marketplace has found its way
into the palm of your hand via this excellent little app. StubHub can provide
tickets to practically any concert that requires tickets from its enormous
database of ticket retailers. Of course there are excellent in app venue maps
to help choose your perfect seat but that’s not where it ends. StubHub allows
fellow concert goers to sell on unwanted tickets through the app so even when
all the best seats are sold out, there is a good chance that someone has a
couple of extras to offload here.
Verdict – An enormous selection of tickets available and
the ability to purchase unwanted tickets give users of this app better odds at
finding good seats.
SeatGeek
(Free)
A truly innovative app that is purely aimed at getting the
best seats at the very best value. SeatGeek is the first app to have
interactive venue maps that let you get right into the stadium. You can check
out different seating areas and even zoom in to individual rows. Their
excellent deal rating system makes finding the best deals incredibly easy, with
those seats that are considered good value highlighted in green and those that
are overpriced an ominous dark red.

that leaves nothing to chance when choosing seats. An absolute must have for
getting the best seats in the house.
