Nov. 19, 2017

These days, music streaming websites are on the rise, especially with the added benefits of interaction with artists and content creators alike. While Spotify and Apple Music have already had artist-to-fan connections, the next streaming service to join the race is YouTube. Google’s media giant has partnered with TicketMaster, that will allow the former service toview the artists’ concert tickets and tour information directly on their YouTube video pages.This new integration will include all information about the concert, including the nearest shows as well as upcoming tour dates. By default, only a few will be shown, although the user has the option to further expand and view the entire list.

With over 1.5 billion monthly users, the partnership comes as a great move of expansion for TicketMaster, after having previously partnered with Spotify as well as Facebook. While the terms of the deal are unknown, the partnership seems like a win-win for everyone. YouTube gets more users, TicketMaster’s sales go high, andthings seem to be a lot simpler for the general consumer.But what’s your take on this?
