That’s a strategy that perhaps plays into a changing music industry where streaming now dominates over paid-for downloads and artists are hoping to plug the gap in download/streaming revenues with increasing performance revenue. While the company says it remains dedicated to helping fans discover concerts they might be interested in attending, and therefore helping tackle the fact that 40-50 per cent of concert tickets go unsold every year, it’s now in the business of actually selling those tickets - and working directly with artists to do so. In a blog post, Songkick is also disclosing that, post-merger, it has tripled ticket sales across Europe in the last 6 months, a strategy that has seen it partner with artists - including Kenny Chesney, J Cole, Jess Glynne, Metallica, Mumford & Sons, and Stereophonics - to enable them to sell more tickets directly to fans. It follows a $16 million Series C from Access, Sequoia, and Index, announced in June. We'll see you down the front.Songkick, the concert discovery app and ticketing company (after it merged with white-label artist-to-fan ticket seller CrowdSurge), has raised a further $10 million in funding from previous backer Access Industries, owner of WMG.
