I’ll admit it, I was a band geek in high school – so this video makes me extra happy and giddy, although I never was able to work in video game music to our marching sets.

So this one is for all of you Europeans over the pond – today we’re going to be talking about Viagogo, a tickets hub that services the Euro community. The site looks nice and easy to use when you first bring it up – major navigational elements are at the top of the page, with more down the side and then featured tickets right down the middle.

One thin that struck me is that although they presented themselves as more of a concert ticket site, you do find a front page section for both Sports Tickets and Arts and Theatre tickets as well – it’s nice and all inclusive there. This isn’t a site like you would normally think about when it comes to tickets – you are buying them from actual fans instead of something like ticketmaster. You can also sell your tickets as well, which makes it a nice little site to take a look at if you want to offload your RBS Six Nation Tickets or your ICC World Twenty20 Tickets .

The signing up process is very easy, with just a quick form to go through. I got my welcome email right away, and then it was back to the site to see how everything worked.

One section you’ll probably like are the Exclusive Tickets, which is a section filled with tickets you are only going to find at Viagogo. There are VIP tickets here for concerts like Madonna, exclusive tickets for Oktoberfest Munich, and they even have some movie premiere tickets in here. Now that’s pretty cool.

The selling process seems to be fairly secure, as all sellers are required to guarantee their tickets with a credit or debit card. There are three different types of listings: Fixed Price, Auction, and Declining Price. This gives you a lot of flexibility on getting your tickets out there and sold. They also handle getting your postage paid packaging, so you aren’t even paying shipping to get your tickets out to customers, along with taking care of all of the customer service.

Buying is as simple as selling, and you get all of the information on each ticket including the section, the face value, and other relevant bits of information. Overall I’d say that Viagogo is a nicely laid out site with a lot of ticket listings for the concerts and events I looked at. Couple that with a user friendly layout and easy to use features and you have yourself a great site if you’re based in the UK.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s physically possible to actually get enough of Final Fantasy music. I don’t personally think so, but I could eventually find out I’m wrong. I hope not though, because not being able to enjoy bands like the Video Game Cover Band would make me very sad.
