What Are Bandsintown Trackers and How Do I Gain More?
Building up your trackers on Bandsintown is a great, free way to connect with your community of live music-obsessed fans. In the simplest terms, trackers are fans who want to be alerted when you announce shows near them, or want to know about rad updates from their favorite bands.
How can my fans become trackers?
By downloading the Bandsintown Concerts app. When signing up, users can choose to scan their phone’s music library, their socials, and their streaming services. The artists that they’re connected with on these platforms can then be automatically tracked on Bandsintown.
Going directly to an artist’s Bandsintown page on our website or in the app.
Visiting an official website, which has the Bandsintown Widget, API, or Track button.
Being directed to a Bandsintown Landing Page, which is shared by an artist via social media.
How do I gain more trackers?
Install the Bandsintown Widget on your official website to easily list your events and ticket links on your website and convert visitors to trackers. It is automatically synchronized with your Bandsintown account, so you can just manage all your events in one place. Your visitors can see where you're performing next and get tickets without leaving your site. The Widget automatically matches the color scheme on your website. But you can also customize it to fit your exact taste.
Install the Bandsintown Track Button. Our Track button is a very convenient way for your fans to become trackers—you can customize the color and the icon of the button to match your website design.
