Quickstart Guide

This guide walks you through the core TixTrk workflow in about five minutes. By the end you'll have a show on your wishlist, a trip built around it, and a working sense of how everything connects.

1. Create Your Account

Head to tixtrk.com and tap Sign Up. You'll need your email address, first and last name, date of birth, and a password. After submitting, TixTrk will send a verification email — click the link inside to confirm your address, then log in.

→ For more detail, see Creating an Account.

2. Set Up Your Profile

Before you dive in, take a minute to add a profile photo and set your Home Base — both make TixTrk more useful right away.

Profile photo — Go to Settings and tap your avatar to upload a photo. This appears on any trips you share with friends, so they know who's planning.

Home Base — Also in Settings, set your home city. TixTrk uses this to distinguish local shows from trips that need real logistics — hotel reminders and travel alerts won't fire for shows you can drive to.

→ For more detail, see Setting Up Your Profile and Home Base.

3. Find a Show and Add It to Your Wishlist

Once you're logged in, open Artist Search from the sidebar. Type an artist's name — TixTrk searches Ticketmaster in real time and returns upcoming events.

Find a show you're interested in and tap Add to Wishlist. The show is saved with an Interested status, which means "on my radar but not committed."

TIP

You can add multiple shows from the same artist in one session. Browse their upcoming dates and wishlist any that catch your eye.

4. Confirm You're Going

Open My Wishlist and find the show you just added under the The Radar tab. Click the row to expand it, then change the status to Confirmed (you've decided to go) or Ticketed (you have tickets in hand).

Confirmed and Ticketed shows move to the Locked In tab and start appearing on your Dashboard.

5. Build a Trip Around It

From the Wishlist, click Plan Trip on your Locked In show — or open Trip Hub and create a new trip manually.

Give the trip a name, set your travel dates, and pick a destination city. TixTrk takes it from there — your trip gets a map, a photo, and will start showing weather and reminders as the date gets closer.

Once the trip exists, import your show into the Itinerary. From there you can add hotels, restaurants, flights, and anything else connected to that trip.

TIP

Use Discover Events (the binoculars icon in the Itinerary header) to find other shows happening in the destination city during your trip dates — a quick way to fill out the schedule.

6. Share the Trip (Optional)

When your trip is taking shape, open Trip Hub, select the trip, and click the share icon. You can:

  • Generate a link — anyone with the link and a PIN can view the trip read-only
  • Share directly — enter a friend's email address to notify them; if they have a TixTrk account, the trip appears under their Shared with Me tab automatically

Your display name and profile photo from step 2 will show on the shared trip.

→ For the full sharing reference, see Sharing Trips.

7. See Your History

Every show you attend becomes part of your concert history. After a past show's date passes, it moves automatically from your Wishlist into History — no manual action needed. Attended shows imported via the History Importer also live here.

Open History from the sidebar to browse every show you've logged, sorted by date. Click any row to expand it and see the venue setlist pulled from Setlist.fm, along with any notes you want to add.

TIP

Just getting started? Use the History Importer to bring in past shows in bulk. Paste a list of concerts you've attended and TixTrk's AI will parse and import them automatically. Find it via the Add Past Shows button on the History page.

→ For more detail, see Concert History and History Importer.
