TechCrunch recently ran a profile on Jukely, a new service offering users an unlimited subscription to concerts for just $25 a month.

“We asked how much people would pay — $100? No. $50? Still too high. Then we asked if they’d pay $25 and that seemed to spark their interest,” Jukely co-founder Bora Celik said at the SF Music Tech Conference.
The app uses an algorithm to match your music taste, connect you with people from the same music scene and then suggests concerts you should check out together. So that solves this problem: “Ew, none of my friends listen to the same music as me. I have no one to go to shows with.”
The company raised $2.5 million from a group of investors. According to TC, “You won’t find bigger names like Taylor Swift or Gaga on the subscription list. The idea is to fill the room and expose folks to bands that are just starting to blow up, but have enough of a presence to sell a few of their own tickets, too.”
Something tells me our scene could clean house with this service. It’s still in beta and only available in limited areas—so let 'em know if you want it. Check out some screenshots of the app below, and visit their official website.
