"And I preferred the old way of being able to pay a a fee so I can follow more than 10 artists and/or venues."

Uhhh, the new site allows for up to 99 free auto notifies but I'm sure Pollstar would be happy to take your money if you want to pretend its the old site.

This new version is horrible! It looks like a high school kid designed it.

And I preferred the old way of being able to pay a a fee so I can follow more than 10 artists and/or venues.

Luckily for me, other sites are capitalizing on Pollstars errors...

I have to agree with many of the negative comments regarding the new site. The old GUI was so simple and easy to navigate...why do you think Craigslist still works so well? Please go back to old Pollstar - New Coke still sucks.

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better." --King Whitney Jr.

Sorry, but I did NOT ask for this! Please go back to what we had before. This is just all wrong and very uncomfortable. Whomever sold you this package as being what the customer wants has no idea what they are talking about. Get you money back, and give us back the old way of doing things. Thank you!

It would help to have specific repeatable examples so we could work on the issue. These can be submitted to the 'Send Beta Feedback' link at the top of the page.

The city/venue/artist search feature is less organized and when cities are requested for (especially large ones) there are obviously fewer dates and artists listed than the older format which makes upcoming show events hidden and unnoticed. Unless its still in its testing phase, I get a lot of error responses when searching for certain cities and artists.

I don't see anywhere on this site where "suggestions" may be sent, so I'm going to to do it here.

One - How about a "suggestion box" link?

Two - How about a page where users can request specific artists and bands to come to their city? I've seen it on at least one other site and it would seem to be a good fit for Pollstar given that you've got a longer history in the music business than most and have a legit professional site to boot.

Overall the site is great and enjoy coming back as often as possible. I for one, am glad you changed the design from the old site. It was so - 80's - even though there wasn't an internet then!!!!

Keep up the good work.

Why are they trying to turn Pollstar into a Social Networking site? This is HORRIBLE. I don't WANT video content, user comments, profiles, and all that. I just want concise listings. Easy, and clear.

When you type in, for instance, "LONDON", it shows are ALL OF THE results! It shows every band, city, and venue with the word 'london. The page is too cluttered. What happened to the drop downs?

This new Pollstar needs a LOT of work still...

I think perhaps something that would be useful for all the many many people who still can't seem to get it, is a tutorial. Maybe after being shown how to do things, this site wouldn't seem so bad? I did read a comment that suggested customized color schemes for the site though, and I completely agree with that.

explain to people how they get starcred, por favor?

everyone thinks you have to leave comments, when IN FACT you can rate artists, stories, pictures, leave REVIEWS of artists, and comment etc. for cred.

Ya got lovreall the naysayers that want to go back to the old site... radicals, all! HA HA!

If the recent elections have taught us anything, it's that CHANGE IS GOOD! Pollstar - the new site - is definitely GOOD.

Get used to change as it's happening all around us. Personally I absolutely love the new design and features. Well done, Pollstar!
