Straight answers

Three lines we do not claim.

A card you can trust has to name what is missing from it. These three are true about Getvnt no matter which platform you are holding it against.

No marketplace

You bring the audience

Your public events can be listed on the Getvnt browse and search pages, but a listing is not a marketplace's built-in audience. What actually fills a room is your own schedule page, an embeddable calendar, a follower QR code, newsletters, and an interest list that emails people when tickets go on sale.

Seat maps are Enterprise

Ticket types, then seats

On Free and Pro a ticket type has a name, a price and a quantity, and buyers are not choosing a specific seat. A reserved-seating house needs Enterprise, where a venue schedule draws the room once and buyers pick their seats from the map.

One team member on Free

Extra members are Enterprise

The free plan is one person per schedule. Adding team members is on Enterprise and is capped at five on the hosted platform, so do not plan on inviting a whole staff for nothing.

Everything else on this page is a line you can check for yourself. Back to the card

The margin marks

Where the marks fall our way.

7 of the 13 lines above carry a diamond. Here are the 6 advantages over Songkick that most often decide it, in plain language rather than table cells.

Tickets on Your Own Page

Songkick links fans out to other ticket sellers. Getvnt takes free registrations with QR tickets on every plan, and paid tickets on Pro with zero platform fees.

For Venues Too

Venue, talent and curator schedules link to each other, so a show a venue lists can appear on the performer's schedule as well.

Your Own Audience

People who sign up on your schedule get an email when you add dates, and you can write to them yourself from inside the app.

Two-Way Calendar Sync

Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync both ways, free, so the dates in your calendar and on your page never disagree.

Event Graphics

Turn your upcoming dates into a shareable graphic for social media in one click, free.

Open Source

Read the code and selfhost it on your own server. Songkick is a hosted service only.

Both columns

Read both sides before you sign.

Getting Started guide

Bring the events across

Paste a listing or upload the flyer and the parser fills in the name, date, time, venue and description for you to check. Fifty a day on the free and Pro plans (ten during a Pro trial), a hundred on Enterprise.

AI Import guide

Bring your list across

Export the addresses you already have and paste them in or upload a CSV, up to ten thousand rows, on any plan. What the newsletter allowance counts is sending to them, not holding them.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about switching from Songkick.

Does Songkick sell tickets?

No. Songkick lists dates from hundreds of sources and links fans to outside ticket sellers, so orders and refunds are handled by whoever sold the ticket. Getvnt takes free registrations with QR tickets on every plan, and paid tickets on Pro with zero platform fees.

Can I use Getvnt alongside Songkick?

Yes. Keep your Songkick listing for its fan alerts and add your Getvnt event page as the ticket link in Tourbox, so fans who find a date there land on your own page. Paste your dates in and the AI parser fills in each show for you to check.

Can venues and promoters use Getvnt?

Yes. Venues, talent and curators each get their own schedule, and a show a venue lists can appear on the performer's schedule too. Songkick's Tourbox is only for artist teams, and venues and promoters cannot add ticket links themselves.

Songkick is free for artists, with paid email campaigns to their fans. Getvnt is free for listing dates, registrations and newsletters, and Pro is 5 NGN/mo for paid tickets with zero platform fees.
