- “Fans already cross borders for shows - they just do the math across six browser tabs. We do the math on one page.”- Vladyslav Poyikhalo, founder of Soundtrip
- “The same tour can cost half as much two countries over. That gap is the whole story of gig-tripping.”- Vladyslav Poyikhalo, founder of Soundtrip
- “We never invent prices. If a number is an estimate, it says so - that's the only way a planning tool earns trust.”- Vladyslav Poyikhalo, founder of Soundtrip
Methodology, in one paragraph
Concert data comes from the Ticketmaster Discovery API (upcoming rock & metal shows across Europe, refreshed daily). For every city we price one standardized basket: two nights in a budget-tier hotel near the venue plus the cheapest return transport option - the same basket our public trip planner uses, so the study and the product can never disagree. Estimates are labelled as estimates; ticket prices are excluded (Ticketmaster does not publish them for Europe).
