How to Use QR Codes to Promote Your Next Show or Tour

How to Use QR Codes to Promote Your Next Show or Tour

Every show is a chance to gain new fans and grow your music brand — but if people don’t know about it, they won’t show up. That’s where QR codes for concerts come in.

With MusicBizQR, you can turn every flyer, poster, and story into a ticket-selling machine — and track the results in real time.

🎟️ Promote Smarter, Not Harder

Traditional promo tools (flyers, posts, stickers) are static. Once you print them, that’s it. But with a dynamic QR code, you can:

  • Update the destination after printing
  • Track every scan and location
  • Customize the design to match your tour branding
  • Link to ticket sales, Spotify, merch, and video

📲 Where to Use QR Codes for Shows

Your MusicBizQR QR code is flexible — and powerful.

Here’s where bands are using them:

  • 🎤 On tour posters and flyers
  • 📦 Inside merch orders
  • 🎞️ In Instagram or TikTok stories
  • 👕 On T-shirts, badges, or lanyards
  • 🎧 Projected behind the stage
  • 📍 In record stores, cafes, and venues

Wherever your fans are, you meet them with one scan.

🔁 Update Anytime (Even After Printing)

Need to change a ticket link? Add a new opening act? Switch to a Spotify pre-save?

No problem. With MusicBizQR, your QR codes are dynamic — meaning you can edit the destination URL anytime.

This is crucial when you’re running fast promotions or updating tour info.

📊 Track Your Event Promo Like a Pro

Know exactly how your promotion is working:

  • Where fans are scanning (city/state)
  • What device they used
  • What time of day
  • What links they clicked

You don’t just promote your show — you learn what works.

✅ Example: The “Scan to Get Tickets” Tour Poster

Imagine this:

  • A killer poster design
  • Your tour dates
  • And a custom QR code that leads directly to your ticket page

Fans scan it in the wild and buy tickets on the spot.
Or they land on your smart MusicBizQR page with tour info, a Spotify embed, and merch.

Start Driving More Ticket Sales

Promotion doesn’t have to be complicated. Just smart.

With MusicBizQR, you turn your tour posters, flyers, and socials into high-converting fan funnels.
