The current presale system is failing artists and fans. You would assume the original purpose of artist presales was to give loyal fans a head start to secure a ticket, allowing them to avoid scalpers, long queues, and the potential horror of dynamic pricing. But we all know that's not what's happening. All it takes to join most presales is an email address, putting scalpers & bots on an equal start with superfans. It's chaos. And both real fans AND artists lose. But at Openstage we're creating a new blueprint. One where an artist controls more of their tickets, identifies top, genuine fans, and rewards them with concierge pre-sale access tied to their identity. No stress. No scalpers. In the last few months, we've rolled out hugely successful pilot campaigns with none other than Oasis and Lana Del Rey. (More about those in M-iQ this week) Know your fans. Value your fans.
