As announcement after announcement continue to fly out of HotPress.com for new year gigs and concerts, it can becoming a little taxing trying to keep up with the who? what? where? and whens? necessary to ensure you don't miss a beat in 2013.

Ticketmaster Ireland have recognised the needs of music fans, and the way they access gigs and concerts by launching a brand new app for the iPhone and Android application markets. The apps are currently available on the App Store and Google Play to download for free.

Smart Phone users can use the apps to discover events, browse event details and purchase tickets. The apps allow users to log into their MyTicketmaster account for a seamless purchasing experience on their mobile device.

The apps have the ability to scan the user’s music library to understand music preferences and users can choose to have the smart phones built-in location services activated to automatically recommend relevant upcoming local events. Fans can further personalise the recommended events by using more than 40 preset filters.

In addition to browsing, searching and discovering events, the apps offer ticket on sale information and notifications, show reminders, set lists from past concerts worldwide, venue information and seat maps.

The apps also allow fans to easily Tweet and Facebook when discovering events or after purchasing tickets.

“We’re constantly looking to innovate and the Ticketmaster apps for iPhone and for Android accommodate the needs of fans and the way they access live events”, said Eamonn O’Connor, Managing Director, Ticketmaster Ireland. “These apps will become the definitive way for fans to find and purchase tickets for events when on the move. “
