Bandsintown Boost offers paid concert promotion for a one-time fee, with placements running from purchase through show day. The tool targets listeners by location, musical preferences and engagement.
Placement and audience targeting
Boost distributes promoted events across Bandsintown‘s homepage, website, app and emails, drawing on an audience of more than 100 million concertgoers.
Targeting includes existing followers, followers of similar artists and people actively searching for concerts. It can also reach listeners who do not already follow the promoted artist.
Promotion can begin within minutes of purchase and requires no setup or ongoing maintenance. Multiple events can be included in one purchase, allowing users to promote several dates or a full tour.
Fees and promotion period
Each event carries a flat fee based on venue capacity. Promotion continues until the concert date, so purchasing earlier extends the time an event receives paid placement.
When venue capacity cannot be verified, pricing instead follows the promoted artist’s Bandsintown follower count:
- Fewer than 10,000 followers: $50
- 10,000 to 49,999 followers: $100
- 50,000 to 99,999 followers: $200
- 100,000 to 499,999 followers: $300
- 500,000 followers or more: $500
Taxes may apply.
