About

Roadtrip Eventures

Read full description

Roadtrip Eventures is the app that helps you find an epic roadtrip featuring your favorite events! Enter artists, sports teams, comedians, musicals, festivals or any other acts, and RE will find upcoming events that are close enough in time and distance to drive to. Don't hope for your favorite artists to all perform at the same festival and risk not seeing them in their prime, or put the work into digging through schedules of your hometown sports teams to see them all in one away game trip. RE is your best bet for combining the thrill of seeing your favorite events with the adventure of driving to new places, so you can have two vacations in one! Most events are in North America, Western Europe and Australia. If you are not in one of these areas, try the free version first to see if you get any results. Finding a roadtrip is not guaranteed, but you can change your entries before each refresh, which happens once per month. The free plan allows users to enter 15 artists and teams. The paid version allows users to enter up to 40 acts and teams for $3/year Discounts on next year's subscription are available if trips are shared on social media. With each share (up to 3 shares), a discount is applied to next year's subscription, now matter which tier you've subscribed to. The discounts corresponding to # of shares are as follows: 1 share = ~10% discount 2 shares = ~25% discount 3 shares = ~45% discount Calculations are rough because Apple does not allow precise pricing. Not all social media sites offer the same functionality in creating posts with event details, and bugs can prevent certain posts from being made. Recurring billing is done by default - users can switch off auto-renewal from Subscription menu in Settings Users can unsubscribe anytime after purchase, by turning off subscription from Subscription menu in Settings Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
