Moments · Concert and event planner

The ticket is only
the centrepiece.

You have the ticket. The rest of the night is unplanned. Where to eat before. How to get there without arriving stressed. What to do after when ten thousand people are all trying to leave at the same time. That is what Plansorted builds the plan around the event.

What the app plans

ArrivalWhat time to actually get there, not just when the event starts. Buffer for queues, parking or train delays.
TransportTrain versus driving versus rideshare — which is actually better for this event, this venue, this night.
Dinner beforeWhere to eat, how far from the venue, how much time to allow. Not every restaurant near a major venue is worth the visit.
Drinks afterWhether to go somewhere after, or whether the crowd logistics make getting home the better call.
Crowd bufferFor sold-out shows and big footy games: extra time, exit strategy, where to wait if you need to.
Weather backupOutdoor events and anything involving a walk between locations needs a plan that holds when Melbourne decides to be Melbourne.

The before and after matters as much as the event itself. A rushed, overpriced dinner near the venue kills the mood before the show starts. Ending up on the wrong platform after a stadium show because the exit plan was vague adds twenty minutes of chaos to an otherwise good night.

Tell Plansorted the event, the venue, how many people and what kind of night it should feel like. It will build the rest.

The planning journey

7 days before

Book dinner if you are eating near the venue — the good options fill up fast on event nights. Confirm transport mode and lock in arrival time. For big stadium shows, check if there are any road closures or event-specific transport changes.

3 days before

Check the weather if any part of the plan is outdoors. Confirm the event start time has not changed. If driving, confirm parking options and price.

1 day before

Final clear plan: where you are meeting, what time, who has the tickets, transport plan, dinner booking confirmation. Nothing to figure out on the night.

Example situations

MCG footy

Arrive early enough to get a beer without fighting the first-quarter rush. Know which gate. Have a plan for food before or after so you are not eating a pie in the concourse as a matter of necessity.

Rod Laver Arena concert

Dinner in the precinct beforehand. Know that parking is expensive and the train is better. Have a plan for the thirty minutes after the show ends and the crowd pushes toward Flinders Street.

Marvel Stadium

Different transport calculus to the MCG. The surrounding precinct has options — knowing which ones are worth it before versus after makes a difference.

Comedy or theatre

Dinner before matters more than it does for a loud concert. The mood is different. The timing is tighter. The plan needs an earlier start.
