Skiddle swipe feature
Introduced to improve transparency, promote good events and weed out poor ones; music fans will rate the success of an event by swiping left or right, depending on how much they enjoyed a set.
(PRWEB UK) 4 October 2017
Swipe left, swipe right… It’s a format many dating app users are familiar with, but for the first time the feature has been applied to the live music industry, giving gig-goers a warts-and-all opportunity to review events, club nights and festivals.
Introduced to improve transparency, promote good events and weed out poor ones; music fans will rate the success of an event by swiping left or right, depending on how much they enjoyed a set.
Designed by event and ticketing outlet Skiddle to give music fans a greater say in the success of events, this is the first time the technology will be used outside of dating apps like Tinder. The feature is the most accurate reviewing platform on the market, with updates available on the app in real-time, free of charge.
Swiping right for yes and left for no, the platform will prompt users as soon as they leave a venue. Taking less than a minute, other aspects of the evening will also be available to rate; such as the venue, drinks prices and atmosphere.
Ben Sebborn, Co-Founder and Director of Skiddle, commented:
“In the past, the process of reviewing events has been slow and clunky, meaning many music fans haven’t had a proper opportunity to speak out. This means poor experiences go undocumented, leading to more disappointing and unsatisfying events in the future.
“We want to overhaul the way gig-goers rate their evenings, making sure the industry becomes more transparent. This new swipe feature will ensure music fans have their say in a fun and hassle-free way, capturing thoughts in real-time. There is no room for poorly organised or badly managed events to hide. The feedback will be available to everyone: fans, promoters and venues and will paint the most accurate picture of the live scene on the market and will help organisers better arrange events going forwards.
“Our industry is driven by customers, so it’s incredibly important that their voices are heard. This new feature is being rolled out in the coming weeks and is designed to do just that.”
