Here are five top-rated ticketing apps for concerts
If you love live music and going to concerts, it’s probably worth your while to download a ticketing app.
Buying tickets online can save you money -- and some apps will even let you know when your favorite artists are coming to town, so you can get tickets early.
Some ticketing apps will even let you sell your tickets, see the view from your seat or listen to artists’ music before you buy a ticket.
To see which ones those are, here are five top-rated ticketing apps, based on their iTunes rankings and number of reviews.
StubHub: 4.8 stars

It also lets you see the view from your seat, listen to iTunes previews of artists’ music or sell your tickets if you decide you can’t make it to the event, according to the app’s Apple page. Even website Top Ten Reviews deemed StubHub the best overall ticketing app for concertgoers.
