GiggedIn, the Australian-owned live music subscription service, is going national. And, perhaps, heading further afield.
From next year, the app-based platform, which currently operates in Sydney and Melbourne, will roll out its pan-Australian footprint, starting with Brisbane.
Speaking with TIO, GiggedIn founder and CEO Ed Onggo says the crowdfunding approach makes sense for a company deep in the business of connecting music fans with upwards of 150 gigs, festivals, films and stand-up comedy shows each month.

Samwise Holmes was always an athletic kid, regularly spending time "running around, jumping fences, having fun as teenagers do". But, with his Asperger syndrome, he also found it difficult to make friends, and was an easy mark for bullies.
Now, with his partner Cynthia Guthrie, Mr Holmes has found a way to blend his athleticism with his passion for fighting back against bullying. And they're doing it with a twist: parkour.

Tammi Jonas spent 10 years as a vegetarian.
Coming from a cattle ranching family in Oregon, in the US, it wasn't exactly a smooth decision to make.
Her decision to go vego came after she read Australian author Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation. In her view, the book detailed the horrible things done to pigs and poultry in sheds.
Tammi's now speaking out about factory farming and the way animals are bred in captivity in the US, as the spokeswoman for a new documentary, Eating Animals.
The documentary, based on a book of the same name and narrated by Natalie Portman, aims to highlight the cruelty of factory farming and pushes for more traditional, sustainable and ethical farming practices.
