Fan Street Team

What Fan Street Team does

Live On Stage, Inc., also operating as LOS and referenced as Fan Street Team, is a private Nashville, Tennessee-based company founded in 2002 that operates a centralized national artist booking and routing platform serving volunteer-led nonprofit Community Concert Associations across the United States. The company curates two annual artist rosters (2025-2026 and 2026-2027, each containing approximately 20+ touring acts spanning folk, country, classical, pop/rock, jazz, tributes, and comedy) and handles contracts, routing, deposits, payments, and billing on behalf of its 120+ affiliated associations through its Director of Operations, Director of National Sales, and a regional network of Area Representatives.

The core technology platform is Live Concert Tix, a customized online ticketing and subscription management system co-developed with a ticketing software provider in a 2012 pilot, offering online subscription sales, donation acceptance, credit card processing, general admission or assigned seating, Facebook integration, print-at-home tickets with bar coding/scanning, a centralized subscriber database, and built-in email/marketing tools. Supporting offerings include a Press and Publicity Support Program (maintaining a database of 1,000+ media contacts and having facilitated 100+ artist interviews), a Strategic Planning Service (rolling 2-year board workshops led by the Senior Vice President since 2009), a WordPress-based Website Assistance Program (with 1GB hosting on the LOS registrar), and an annual Virtual National Conference (with 2026 registration handled via Agile Ticketing). Print campaign materials are supplied via a channel partnership with Printertainment.

The business model combines professional services revenue from artist booking and routing with transaction-fee revenue from Live Concert Tix and customization fees from the Website Assistance Program. Most value-added services are provided free of charge to affiliates, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates with approximately 10 national staff plus four area representatives, holds no patents and has no disclosed funding, and reaches customers exclusively through direct sales via Area Representatives and the annual National Conference, with self-serve online ticketing as a secondary channel.

Broad incumbents

• Tessitura Network: A widely adopted unified CRM, ticketing, and fundraising platform for performing arts organizations, used by large theaters and orchestras. Comparable to Live On Stage's Live Concert Tix offering for the nonprofit arts segment, though Tessitura targets larger institutional clients.
• Eventbrite: A large self-serve event ticketing and registration platform used broadly across live events including concerts. Comparable as a competing ticketing option to Live Concert Tix for community concert associations evaluating alternatives.
• Wasserman Music: A division of WME that books and routes contemporary, jazz, and classical artists at scale. Comparable to Live On Stage's artist booking function, but operating at much higher artist tier and broader geographic scope.

Direct peers

• Concert Artists Guild: A nonprofit artist management and booking organization that represents classical and recital artists and places them with community concert presenters across the U.S. Directly comparable to Live On Stage's booking and routing function for nonprofit Community Concert Associations.

Emerging players

• Bandsintown for Artists: A direct-to-fan live music platform that enables artists to promote concerts and manage tour routing. Comparable to Live On Stage's artist routing function, but Bandsintown serves artists directly while Live On Stage aggregates demand from nonprofit associations.
• Spektrix: A cloud-based ticketing, CRM and marketing platform purpose-built for arts and nonprofit organizations in the UK and North America. Comparable to Live Concert Tix as a software platform serving nonprofit performing arts organizations, though Spektrix is more software-led and Live On Stage is services-led.
• Gigmit: A European live music booking and tour routing platform connecting artists with promoters and venues. Comparable in routing and booking intermediation function, though focused on club-level rather than community-concert routing.
• Patron Technology (PatronManager): A Salesforce-based ticketing, marketing, and fundraising platform purpose-built for arts and culture organizations. Comparable to Live Concert Tix as a technology solution for nonprofit performing arts ticketing and subscriber management.

Others

• Printertainment: A campaign materials partner that supplies Live On Stage branded season tickets, subscription forms, and reminder cards to affiliate associations. Already an explicit commercial partner of Live On Stage; comparable as an adjacent ecosystem supplier serving the same customer base.
• Alliance for Performing Arts Conferences: Industry association for the presenting/performing arts field that convenes community concert associations and presenters. Comparable as an ecosystem organization that serves the same nonprofit community concert association segment that Live On Stage operates in.
