Command a new search

Your first search is free — no account needed. Every search adds events to the public map.

Searches run live web research in the background (in parallel — yours doesn’t wait for others) and expand the public map — existing events are never removed. Your first search is free — after that, logged-in users pay a flat $0.20 per search, or use focused bulk pricing (per event, for 300+ event sweeps), charged from a prepaid balance (signing up requires a top-up — the PayPal fee is deducted from the credited balance; top up in the Account panel below). The admin searches free. A numbered dot (e.g. "38") marks several events at the same venue — click it to expand them into individual dots. The list beside the map shows the events in the current view; click one to fly to its dot.

The Map Digest

Your saved searches are only doing half their job. The Map Digest re-runs up to 3 of your saved searches every week while you sleep and emails you the new events — map, color-coded dots, and your pinned favorites highlighted in gold. One glance a week, and you never miss what’s coming.
