Visitors share a simple personal code with their friends. From then on, their friends’ favourite acts show up right in their timetable, as small avatars on the shows they’re going to. At a glance, visitors see where their friends are heading and which unknown act is suddenly worth checking out.

Tips by Friends: turn your audience into your best promoters
Every programmer knows the feeling. You’ve built a line-up full of gems, but most visitors only know the headliners. And no poster or push notification moves people like a friend saying “you have to see this”. One enthusiastic fan tips their friends, they tip theirs, and that unknown act on the small stage suddenly draws a crowd. That’s why we built Tips by Friends.
Word of mouth, made visible
Why it matters for your festival
- Recommendations that drive attendance. People follow their friends. Tips by Friends turns personal recommendations into a direct nudge towards your stages, before and during the event.
- More downloads, more active users. Tips by Friends works best when friends use the app together, so every visitor who shares brings new users to your festival app.
- Fuller stages, beyond the headliners. Friends’ tips steer visitors towards acts they don’t know yet, which is good news for your new talent and your early slots.
- Privacy-friendly by design. No social logins, no address books. Visitors connect only through a code they choose to share. As always, TMSQR doesn’t sell data and is hosted 100% in Europe.
Tips by Friends will be available soon for all TMSQR partners with a Base or Pro package. Curious for more? Request a free demo.
