BlueHaze

The $2.5B merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster into Live Nation Entertainment is actually a good thing for consumers and a good thing for the industry. In short, consumers will benefit as average ticket prices will come down for three reasons: (1) more competition in ticketing, (2) more incentive to fill Live Nation tours and venues, and (3) greater scrutiny from artists, fans and government. Let’s take them one by one:

Blue Haze’s iPhone Concerts App is a tremendous success with over 50,000 downloads worldwide in its first 3 weeks.  The app allows you to share and view concert photos in real time from around the world.  Now able to receive local upcoming concert listings, the iPhone concerts app is a must have for live music fans.

BlueHaze is officially live. Here's our press release and check out our story on TechCrunch.

I recently read that you should never announce your public launch to the world on your own blog. Great advice. So for our current private beta members, thanks for your support and feedback. It's been really helpful. So as a notice to our members, we're no longer behind closed doors and you can now start inviting friends to join BlueHaze. PR campaigns and more coming soon.

We're very, very happy to announce that BlueHaze is now in private beta. If you'd like to check it out, email us and we'll send you an invite. Goal of our private beta is to hammer away at the code, get feedback on the relevancy of our features, and find out how you like the user experience. Did we fulfill our promise? Of course, it's only a start... but hopefully it's a good one. Let us know.

Today we closed our first round of seed financing. Thank you to our investors for your support.

The paperwork is done. It's official. Today BlueHaze is born.
