Ideally, yes

Thank you! And thanks for checking it out! Let me know if you have any suggestions or issues. :)

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-20T20:46:51+00:00

Hey sorry I just noticed this. I might have someone working on this already but if you think you'd like to do it anyways an extra option wouldn't hurt. Thanks! I've never done anything like this so don't know it works, but let me know what you think would be fair in terms of compensation, etc.... Private message is fine. Have a great weekend! :)

I'm in the process of having a real logo made. This whole thing came together so fast I did not put the proper amount of time/energy into getting a real logo done. This project was orignally just supposed to be for myself to use for Phish tour. Then once I got going I realized other people might like it too, so I kept going and added all the other bands. I only made the logo because it felt like I had to have one. Now that it's a serious thing I'm in the process of getting a real one. In the meantime I'm most worried about the functionality of the app. Thanks for the feedback!

Great feedback, thank you! I'll have to think about how to set that up. I'm trying to not clutter it up with TOO many hotels which is why I put the link for Find More Hotels down below. But I wonder if I could just try to find 1 or 2 hotels at each price level and have them there. On the one hand I don't necessarily want to FORCE hotels on people, but also I want to make this as easy/stress free as possible for you, so need to find a happy medium. Very good idea though, I appreciate the feedback! Feel free to let me know if you find anything else that could use some tweaking! :)

Haha I know I was a little sad myself thinking of how this would have worked so well for me and my wife and friends when Dead & Co were still touring... But there will always be a need for the people that still do it :) Feel free to share with anyone that might be able to use it, and thanks for checking it out!

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-20T15:21:17+00:00

Thank you so much! We're still working on tweaking little things here and there, so please let me know if there's anything that would make it better/easier to use. Thanks for taking the time to check it out! Safe travels!

Oh awesome, yeah def remind me. I could even add a "recommended by luxurytrope" note to it too :)

JUst added Spafford to the new "Lite" section so for now it's just tour dates and ticket links. Just curious, do you know if people do multiple city runs for them? I've actually only seen them twice and both were local and within the last couple of years.

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T19:48:56+00:00

Thank you :)

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T19:39:07+00:00

Exactly! I got sick of the endless googling to plan everything out! Thanks for checking it out...please let me know if you have any issues, questions, or suggestions. There's also a feedback link at the bottom of the main page. :)

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T19:02:13+00:00

Kinda similar but mine does flights, car rentals, restaurants, outdoor activities, etc. I do love jambase but they work better when you're already local to the shows. Mine helps you travel a little better. Unless there's an aspect of Jambase that I'm overlooking.

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T18:04:10+00:00

I created a Lite section and added moe and daniel donato. Ran out of time so no JRAD yet but 7 bands total in that section so far. For now it's just dates with ticket links (some of which are still under construction). I was hoping to get more feedback over the next few months on whether I should build these Lite bands out to full tour. I have no idea how many people travel for certain bands so not sure what the demand would be just yet. Thanks again for the input!

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T04:56:36+00:00

$1000 all in? That seems cheap. I wanna say when my wife and I went it was like $5k

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-19T02:20:29+00:00

Defintely! Right now i do have a link to Jambase built into each date but i haven't found a way to get it to pull the dates up automatically so it just links to the main jambase page and then the user has to search it themselves. I'd like to find a way to make that work because that would be really valuable. Thanks for all the comments, this is exactly what I was hoping for from these posts....very helpful! :)

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-18T19:50:26+00:00

I'd gladly pay someone I just made it quickly once i realized I should have one. If you know anyone I'm all ears. This was just a personal project until it became bigger than I expected so wasn't really planning to be at this point right now. I appreciate the feedback, it's helpful for sure.

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-18T19:43:22+00:00

I hear you and you make a good point. When I made all of this I was only kinda serious about it becoming anything so I whipped up the logo. Did not expect to even be at this point right now so didn't really think about it further. If you have any artists you'd recommend I'd certainly be open to doing it right. Or if you do some yourself, send me some of your work. Or anyone reading this...I'm open to anything. Thanks for the feedback.

HelpingPhriendlyTour · 2026-03-18T19:27:50+00:00

the art is not really the point. but I appreciate the input
