Home Base

Home Base is TixTrk's way of knowing where you live. Once set, it allows the app to tell the difference between a local show you can drive to and an out-of-town trip that requires a hotel and flights — which changes what you see on the Dashboard.

Setting Your Home City

In the Home Base section of Settings, start typing your city into the search field. TixTrk uses Google Places autocomplete, so you can enter a city name, neighborhood, or full address and select the correct result from the dropdown. The location is saved as soon as you confirm your selection.

Local Radius

The local radius defines how far from your home city a concert can be before TixTrk considers it a trip rather than a local show. The default is 50 miles.

You can increase the radius if you regularly attend shows in nearby cities, or decrease it if you want TixTrk to treat anything outside your immediate area as a trip.

How Home Base Affects the Dashboard

Setting a Home Base changes two types of Dashboard alerts:

• Local shows — concerts within your radius will not trigger a "link to trip" reminder. TixTrk assumes you don't need a trip plan for shows you can easily reach from home.
• Local trips — if a trip's venue falls within your radius, TixTrk will not flag it for missing hotel or flight bookings.

For concerts outside your radius, the normal logistics alerts apply: if a trip is coming up and has no hotel or flight attached, the Dashboard will warn you.

TIP

Set up Home Base before you start adding concerts. The Dashboard alerts are most useful when TixTrk already knows which shows are local and which ones require travel planning.
