BritishConcerts.com was launched in 2006 to serve the rapidly-growing live music scene in the UK. No longer are events restricted to large arenas and stdiums, but Academy-sized venues are opening up on a monthly basis to cater for the explosion in new bands and artists. Festivals, too, have seen a huge growth in numbers in recent years, and open-air summer concerts are more popular than ever before.

Tickets for these events sometimes sell out quickly, and that is where BritishConcerts.com comes in. We do not deal with ticket touts who take your money and never deliver the goods. We deal with established ticket exchanges who make sure customers get their tickets BEFORE the sellers are paid, thus ensuring a complete transaction from start to finish. Indeed, one of our partners, GetMeIn!, was bought by Ticketmaster in 2008, a sure sign of crucial role that ticket exchanges now play in getting people to the events they want to go to. Yes, in some cases, prices are above face value of the tickets, but it is estimated that nearly 70% of secondary ticket sales are transacted at or below face value.

In 2008, BritishConcerts.com added Experience Days to its inventory, a huge range of gifts  from sailing, flying and motor racing to pampering and fashion design. Also in 2008, we have expanded into the vast North American market with TixCompare.com, providing the same excellent price comparison service users of BritishConcerts.com have come to expect.
