Owngig.com is changing the face of 'live' music and comedy, putting the fan in control.

It is also incredibly simple.

Just register at the site, tell us about the acts you want to see, where you want to see them and how much you would be willing to pay.

Owngig.com then regularly tracks such requests and identifies trends across all users. This then enables us to negotiate on your behalf with artist management companies and their agents to commission exclusive shows wherever and whenever demand dictates.

This might be as simple as adding tour dates to an artist's existing schedule who would otherwise not have visited your region, or even creating a 'one-off' private gig at a local intimate venue.

For many years artists have played private shows, often tailoring their set to a specific audience. These performances happen under the radar and are only possible because of the wealth or status of the organisation booking the act. Owngig.com is set to democratise that process so it caters to a wider group of similarly minded fans willing to pay slightly more than the average ticket price.

As a member of owngig.com you will be contacted by us if we feel any show may be of interest to you, so make sure you provide a wide spread of artists that interest you in your profile.

Once contacted, if you wish to attend you will have first refusal on purchasing a ticket for a limited period of one week only. If you fail to respond then the tickets will be offered to the next highest bidder.

Membership is free and all invites will be personalised and strictly non transferable, even to other members. We will take legal action against anyone making invites available through secondary ticketing channels.

For some shows we will also be offering backstage passes and access to VIP areas to meet the artists themselves, which will be issued on a first come first served basis.

Its as simple as that, but if you have any further questions then please refer to the FAQ or feel free to contact us with any problems or queries.

We hope you enjoy owngig.com and please dont forget to tell your friends!
