O2 Academy App

[Anonymous]

Just downloaded this.

"Since it’s pretty difficult to fit an O2 Academy venue in your pocket, we’ve got the next best thing in the form of our new O2 Academy App which helps you find gigs, buy tickets and go behind the scenes with exclusive footage of your favourite artists.

Whether it’s swagging out with Snoop Dogg or pogoing to Panic! at the Disco, the O2 Academy App helps you book, prepare, enjoy and share your ultimate gig experience.

All from the palm of your hand.

What’s New?

Full show listings for each venue, giving you easier navigation so you can see what’s on and plan your upcoming events.

Share your gig planning on Facebook and Twitter and see which events your friends are going to.

Build up to the gigs you’re attending by downloading Gig Hub. You’ll get a countdown to the show, directions to the venue and it’ll even tell you what the weather will be like on the day.

Check the latest from an artist’s or venue’s Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages
Fan Cam lets you share your night by uploading a video.

You might make it on to O2 Academy TV!

Light Show (this is our favourite). When you’re at a gig, wave your phone in the air and watch the screen pulse with colour in time with the music.

Find gigs. Buy tickets. Go behind the scenes. Get closer to the artists you love with the O2 Academy app.

Download it today.

Coming to Windows devices"

It's a shame it's not yet available for windows phones. 😞

I can confirm that this works flawlessly on BB10. I installed it from the Google Play store via Snap and...it just... works!

Its a really good looking app and I've already added a few of the upcoming gigs that I'm going to at the O2 Academy to the Gig Hub within the app.

Once you have added a gig to the Gig Hub the app counts down to the second haha! It also shows you the latest Tweets or Facebook posts by that artisit or group.

The Event "tab" shows you the line-up and allows you to buy tickets. Opting to buy tickets via the app takes you to what appears to be the TicketWeb website where you can choose how many tickets you want and pay for them, etc.

It hasn't added the gigs I am going to into my Calendar, but I'm not sure if its a feature or if its because its an Android app running on BB10.

All in all, a great app...well done O2! If you go to gigs at O2 venues regularly this is a great app to download to your device.

I have to admit to having this app for many months without actually using it so didn't appreciate exactly what it did. Thanks for the mini review @Anonymous and perhaps you might want to compose a help guide to be added here

I was planning on it just a soon as I get time 

I'm not 100% certain that it will be accurate for both Android and iOS users since its essentially installed into the Android Runtime within BB10, but I'll give it a go anyway!

That could be cool

Thanks @Anonymous for adding the info and @Anonymous for your thoughts!

Thanks for pointing that out. I don't go to many gigs (sadly!) but this could come in useful!

I've just had a look - I'm impressed! There's quite a few bands I want to see now. Unfortunately none of my local friends share my taste in music so my poor husband might have to suffer!
