LOS ANGELES, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Live Nation Entertainment has released the Live Nation Concert Calendar Facebook® app -- the most robust personalized concert calendar app for fans. The Concert Calendar combines official concert listings, gaming features, music related badges, a point system, leaderboard and a loyalty/rewards platform. Fans are able to earn real-world rewards like Concert Cash® which can be used towards thousands of Live Nation items, from concert tickets to band T-shirts to signed merchandise and more.

"Enjoying a concert is one of the most social activities and we think discovering and planning for them should be too," said Jackie Wilgar, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Live Nation Entertainment. "The Concert Calendar takes advantage of the innovation in social technology to help make fans aware of what shows are happening, enable them to discover what their friends are doing, make plans and share their favorite shows all within Facebook."

Fans are able to make plans directly with friends around shows of interest through Facebook by clicking on a show to RSVP, buy tickets, invite friends, or visit Ticketmaster to see where your friends are sitting. Fans will earn music related badges and points for activity within the calendar including daily visits, trivia, recruiting friends to shows and more.

Show recommendations are based on users' Facebook "Likes", "RSVPs," actions fans take inside the calendar, affinity artists, plus artists they're listening to on Spotify and other services through Facebook's listening API (application programming interface). Official listings are pulled from all music and comedy shows ticketed through Ticketmaster and partner sites. The more you use the app, the more it learns to personalize your calendar according to your activity. Fans are also able to add shows and events through an easy to use "add your event" button directly within the app's easy-to-use interface.
