Gigmit is a great idea overall but I never had the opportunity to see if it's actually worth. I need to activate the pro feature but I never find a good momentum to try it for free, and I'm not motivated enough to buy it when the Black Friday deal comes without testing it. So basically I'm in the limbo where I think Gigmit could be great but at the same time I don't want to risk spending money or waste my free trial.

Gigmit lockt die Nutzer in eine Abofalle. Was das Portal an Gegenwert zu bieten hat (bzw. Vorgibt zu bieten zu haben), ist unterm Strich völlig nutzlos. Ich habe für meinen Partner das Probeabo getestet, es vergessen und sofort nach Abbuchung versucht mit GIGmit zu sprechen, aber keine Chance. 280 € sind unglaublich viel Geld für einen Solokünstler aber das ist Ihnen natürlich egal. Musikern helfen zu wollen ist auf der Plattform auch nur ein Marketingslogan.

Daraufhin habe ich versucht wenigstens noch etwas aus dem ProAbo herauszuholen. Leider finde ich die Plattform unendlich unübersichtlich, es gibt kaum Gigs, die paar die es gibt antworten nicht und Dinge, wie das verbinden von Spotify funktionieren nicht. Für mich schreit das nach Abzocke mit Fake Gigs. Nicht ein Auftrag kam zustande.

Hallo,
Leider bin ich voll enttäuscht.
Gerne würde ich mal mit einer Person sprechen, die mir weiterhilft.
Keine Angebote in Deutschland.
Bei getätigten Bookings steht beim Veranstalter immer eine 0.
Die Angebote sind sehr schlecht, weil keine Gagen gezahlt werden wollen.

Ich bin in einer professionellen Band. Wir nehmen ab 1000€ pro Gig.
Da finde ich bei Euch leider nada.

Deshalb hätte ich gerne mein Geld zurück oder sichtbares Engagement Eurerseits für mehr als 200€.

Gruß
Nathalie

Kein Kundendienst hat sich mit mir in Verbindung gesetzt.

Reason I chose this business:

Ich dachte mehr Veranstalter zu finden.

Reason I chose this product:

Ich dachte ein Portal zu finden, dass mir hilft Gigs zu finden.

I don't have anything bad to say about gigmit

Reason I chose this business:

Plus the working with the gigmit team is breathtaking cause the people on the gigmit panel are very understanding
Especially when it comes to working artists like myself

Gig it is definitely a scam and you should not waste your time. It is entirely too expensive. If you are an American artist, do not waste your time.

Ich habe vor zwei Jahren für 1 Monat bezahlt, probieren Sie es aus. Sie schicken mir Briefe mit einer Zahlung von 120 Euro.

Ich habe keine Einladung oder Rückmeldung erhalten. Ich habe nichts von dieser Firma erhalten. Sie sind nur Betrüger.
Ich denke sogar, dass sie die Ereignisse selbst erfinden.

Es ist zwei Jahre her und sie schicken mir immer noch die Zahlung für das Jahr.
Ich bin nicht einmal auf ihre Website gegangen, weil es nur ein Betrug ist.

BETRÜGER! SORGFÄLTIG!

I never write reviews about any company but I felt I had to write a review about gigmit.

This is a German based company and I have never seen one gig in or around London on their platform. They are tricking musicians into paying fortunes for nothing back. I have cancelled my membership and will not be paying ANYMORE TO THIS COMPANY! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THEM

The site has a great potential but living in Italy I'm conscious that nobody will gig me for a foreign event if I won't pay the travel costs or the b&b one. Maybe I lost my money

The idea is good! A platform where you can apply for gigs all around Europe. Great! I want that...

But then when you want to apply, the application itself is stuffed behind a premium account?! What the flipping hell?! That's you're basic product, you don't put that behind a premium account... What kind of rippoff is this - that's a scam - That would basically be the same for a Soundcloud to put any upload behind their premium account...

We have a Belgium platform doing exactly the same, offering a platform to apply for gigs (vi.be) they don't put it behind a premium account. It is free for use!

I'm a reasonable man, maybe 10 euro's for a couple of months won't harm me... I can/will see how it wil evolve, but more than a 100 € for an entire year? That's a 'no go' for me! What kind of utter **** is that

Reason I chose this business:

Because I want to play my music live in other countries too...

I want to like gigmit. You have a great "vibe" and attitude. But I have to say the free account is pretty much useless. One application per month would be ok (and fair considering it is free) but everything that I would potentially apply for is restricted to PRO only. If there are PRO only gigs, they should not be shown to non PRO customers.

Also the algorithm for matching musicians to gigs is not up to speed. I have been sent "invitations" for pop music videos or festivals in Chicago. There should be a way to limit invitations to particular geographies or musical styles.

Hope you work on these things. Otherwise, I dont (yet) see the sense or value of Gigmit.

I have cancelled my subscription through the site after a few days into the trial, but the cancelation must have not been processed properly by your team. I don't know if this is a website malfunction or an intentional fradulent action on your part, but judging on the comments on trustpilot I am not the only one who had this issue. My cancelation has only been processed after you already invoiced me for the annual plan. I am thus asking to rectify this on your part.

Darek

I used the pro service for not even a month and after realised is not helpful at all I wanted to cancel, and now they force me to pay for a year. This is pure. You cannot force someone to use the service if it doesnt like, there must be a probabtion period for the client to decide if actually wants to use the service.

Please no one use this company. They will demand payment when they clearly have no shows for anywhere in England. This company is a joke and a bunch of con artists. There are so many other booking agencies you can use. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE

We are a Copenhagen based band, and there's not much venues in the database.

When trying to use the Gigmit website on my mobile phone, the UX is poor. I get errors when trying to edit the artist page.

It's unclear how much utility is the platform for an new band like mine. It seems the main metric to be scouted by promoters is SoMe followers and Spotify listens.
It'd be interesting to see in the platform, small venues or small operation booker's, who focus on new music, or who want to work with bands that have just started trying to get out there.

Reason I chose this business:

The ad came up in my Facebook or Instagram feed, I think.

Reason I chose this product:

There's no many other platforms for this kind of service, so I gave it a go.

Great site helping artists like myself to find the right gigs and connect with promoters. They have a super useful PRO feature called the venue database allowing you to contact multiple venues and filter by city, genre, etc. Their customer support is great too, they really do their best to onboard artists well in order for them to find gigs. Would recommend!

Die Idee eine Plattform für Künstler zu schaffen, die es Ihnen ermöglicht an Bookings zu gelangen ist gut. Leider ist die Beteiligung der Veranstalter und Clubbesitzer schlecht.
Mögliche Clubs, die in der Datenbank vorhanden sind existieren nicht mehr oder Festivals wurden abgesagt, bestehen aber weiterhin in der Datenbank.
Für den Preis ist der Service definitiv nicht gerechtfertigt.

Schnelltext-Bausteine und keine korrekten Antworten auf meine Fragen. Wie in jeder Hotline ... nur schnell abgefertigt und weg damit.

Reason I chose this business:

Um Kontakt zu Promotern zu erhalten oder direkt mit Clubbesitzern und mein Netzwerk für Aufträge zu erweitern. Was leider mehr als nur fragwürdig zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt erscheint.

Reason I chose this product:

Um einen leichteren Zugang zu vorher genannten Personenkreis zu erhalten.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Live music inspires us. We exist to simplify the world of live music & to maximise its success.

We want everyone to get the chance to have a successful career in the live music business. We have created a platform that empowers the promoters and artists to craft the best career imaginable. By using intelligent data we enable you to make informed booking decisions fast and easy for both artists and promoters. gigmit helps you to connect with the right people to create and play successful live music events all around the world. Sold out shows, done simple.

Business History

Why hasn't the way how artists are booked for live events changed since the 1950s? Technology can do more for booking artists. I want to support bookers from festivals and clubs, artists, agents and managers to make artist-booking more fun and less stressful. Using the data to find matching gigs or book artists in no time. My very own festival-booking happened within a few weeks with gigmit instead of over 3 months without it. Artists should perform and festivals and clubs should focus on a great show full of people. Technology needs to support that. gigmit is that technology.

Since our foundation in 2012, we talked to artists, agents, managers and bookers from festivals and clubs. We never stood still to grow and make money. Instead, we invested everything and more to build better and solve pain points in the process of booking artists. Guess what? We are still doing it, never stand still and only invest. What is technology without artists, agents, festivals and clubs? Well, we are more than 200,000 users which makes gigmit one of the biggest communities for booking acts for live and virtual performances in over 120 countries. What do numbers tell? Have a look at some of the exceptional artists on gigmit.

In the last 5 years, we were always talking about fan data and being able to analyse which act sells the most. Now, since every fan and listener are on Spotify and Facebook, this becomes trackable and we are proud to present our first solution here. With gigmit you can now analyse local data around the artist.

After a terrible pandemic that caused a historic loss in the live entertainment industry, gigmit is here to help: To book artists that draw more fans, to become more effective, to involve virtual streaming, or to play more and gain more income as an artist.

More colours. More equality. More power!

gigmit enables a diverse range of great talent. Whether you want to book or play more locally or a female-fronted band is missing on your line-up. With gigmit that becomes not just possible. It is easy and fun. At gigmit, we are here to stay. We are fast-growing and developing the tools and features of the future. We won’t stand still till our problem is solved and every active artist is on stage. Join us to discover it yourself on www.gigmit.com

I love live music. I am the CEO of gigmit since 2012. Gigmit is a platform with over 200,000 users (bands, DJs, festivals, venues, promoters) that makes live booking easier, less time-consuming and more accessible. Since 2001, I've developed my career as a concert and festival promoter and a consultant and manager for musicians. In 2017, I founded the Innovation Network of European Showcases (INES) with 8 showcase festivals in Europe (now 20). Lately, I initiated several projects to help artists, festivals and venues make informed booking decisions based on data. I dedicate my career to make music booking fast, easy, open and accessible for everybody.
