Goldstar events

Thank goodness to Goldstar! Last year, when I moved to the east coast due to my job, I learned about Goldstar. Being in a new city, apart from friends and family, it is quite difficult to keep yourself busy. My roommates and I decided to sign up for Goldstar to seek out events going on around the city to keep ourselves occupied. This is an awesome tool that allows for customization based on location and special interests. I have been a member of Ticket Master in the past; however, it lacks the personalization that Goldstar allows for. While Ticketmaster is a useful tool to find special events that you have been predisposed to, it's difficult to learn about events nearby. Although, Ticketmaster has a more expansive category for sporting events, Goldstar promotes independent and small events to users. On the other hand, Ticketmaster may only reveal more mainstream events.

While Ticketmaster is able to recognize events similar to your interests and recommend them to you, Goldstar focuses more on the location and the type of events you are interested in. Ticketmaster bases search on category types while Goldstar focus its searches on location, date.

Users of both communities are able to purchase tickets for events, but they focus on different aspects. Ticketmaster enables its users to purchase pre-tickets, while Goldstar offers users advantages in purchasing discounted tickets. What's more useful to you?
