Company Summary
In the past, if you wanted to book a live event, you made a risky, painful guess about whether ticket sales would cover your costs. RABBL's social booking platform fixes that. We focus on the $9B live music business, where a handful of venue owners & bookers are swamped by millions of bands who need to perform to survive. We help artists tour, venues book with confidence, and fans have a real voice.
