PassAlong Networks Launches OnTour 2.0 at Canada Music Week
New version of concert-finder application includes multiple ticket providers, support for Canadian artists, concerts and venues
Franklin, Tenn. — Mar. 6, 2006 — PassAlong Networks, developer of innovative technologies for digital music, announced Friday at Canada Music Week the launch of OnTour™ 2.0, the quickest and easiest method for music fans to stay up-to-date with their favorite artists' touring schedules, ensuring they Never Miss A Concert Again™.
OnTour 2.0, a free software download for both Mac and PC at http://www.OnTour.net, matches a user's library to their zip code to notify them when their favorite artists will appear in their town. Users are then prompted to search for tickets from a variety of ticket providers, to map directions to the venue, and to shop for more great music from artists they already enjoy and those recommended to them based on similar tastes at http://www.PassAlong.com.
Version 2.0 includes the following updates:
• Concert notifications for users in the United States and all Canadian Provinces
• Support for multiple ticket providers
• Partner branding integration
• Brand new look and feel
"OnTour is part of our p2pREVOLUTION platform that helps connect artists and fans," said PassAlong Networks CEO Dave Jaworski. "Artists and their management are empowered to reach their fans and build communities very cost-effectively. Fans are empowered to receive current concert information of their favorite artists without having to specifically search for it."
"The Internet is where most fans today find out about concerts," said MTS Centre Operator Mark Chipman. "Finding the right online marketing vehicles to reach fans is another matter. OnTour is the best online approach I've seen yet. Everybody wins — artists, fans and venues."
The release of OnTour 2.0 closely follows PassAlong's introduction of the Concert-of-the-Future™, a WiFi-enabled experience featuring exclusive pre-concert footage, artist interviews, and a digital store for wireless purchases, all accessible before, during and after a concert to any attendee carrying a WiFi-enabled device. PassAlong's p2pREVOLUTION™ platform is available to venues, artists, labels and managers today, providing a better overall concert experience, from convenient notifications of events through OnTour to additional revenue streams provided by exclusive, on-demand content powered by the Concert-of-the-Future.
