Zigabid Offers Fair Market Value Ticket Sales

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Music

If you are planning to attend a concert, play, or sports event, Zigabid allows ticket buyers and sellers to negotiate by direct interaction. It also lists the most active events and current highest, lowest, and average prices to give you something to go on when haggling. Free for all, the site keeps a 15% connection fee from sellers and 10% from buyers. They then give a portion back to the entertainment source or charity. The service includes overnight shipping.

Pitchfork TV to Feature All Music Online

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Movies, Music

Pitchfork Media is launching an online music TV channel April 7. Think of it as “YouTunes.” The site will feature mini-documentaries, music sessions, concerts, interviews, and music videos. They will also offer films, concerts, and music DVDs at no charge. With full creative control, the original site already has events, reviews, and news tidbits, and is simply moving up the technological ladder with Pitchfork.tv.

Pitchfork promises a hi-res display and will be adding personal playlists so you can save your faves. Let’s hope that the company sticks to its standards and offers music other than a monotonous Billboard Top Ten.

We have mentioned the practice before and it seems to be spreading in popularity. Barenaked Ladies released Barenaked on a Stick in 2005 and since then other artists, such as JLo, have followed suit.

All Access, which put out drives by Ringo Starr and Matchbox Twenty, has gotten together with EMI, Warner Music Group and Universal Music to make USB bracelets. These have previously been sold at concerts from such musicians as Willie Nelson and the Black Crowes. If you saw the last Grammys, you might have noticed that Ringo wore one of his own. We call that free advertising at its finest.
