Add Your Ticket Links

Next, add your ticket links:

You can:

  • Add a single ticket link

    • It will appear as a red “Get Tickets” button at the top of your festival page

    • Add a label for each one (e.g. VIP, GA, etc.)

    • Each ticket link will be displayed on your festival page as a separate button using the label you provide.

  • Toggle ticket link visibility on or off at any time.

    • When Display is toggled off, the ticket link is hidden from your public festival page, but it can still be used in Fan Alerts

Publish Your Festival Page

Once your profile information and ticket links are finalized, click Publish Profile to make your festival page live.

All changes are applied immediately.

Set Up and Publish Your Lineup

Your festival lineup is prominently featured on your Bandsintown festival page and helps power fan alerts and discovery across the platform. Each artist’s set also gets its own event page, which is discoverable on Bandsintown and distributed to partners like Spotify, Google, YouTube, Apple, and more.

Fans can RSVP to individual sets to build a personalized schedule and get reminders when it’s time to catch their favorite artists.

Your lineup is managed separately from your profile details.

Go to the Lineup section to:

  • Add and schedule artists

  • Designate headliners

  • Edit set times

  • Publish your lineup

Note: Your lineup must be published before fan alerts are sent

Set Up and Schedule Fan Alerts

Save time and sell more tickets with automated email & push alerts targeting qualified fans at your key moments.

Go to the Fan Alerts section to set up and schedule your Fan Alert(s) in advance.

  • Fan Alerts must be scheduled at least 24 hours before the send date/time.

  • Your festival page and lineup must be published in order for fan alerts to be sent
