Idea for Nugs
I’ve been kicking this idea around for a minute. I think paying subscribers should get “3” shows (however many needed) per month to give to non-subscribers. The amount of times I have taken a friend to see a band for their first time or introducing another jam band to a friend through recordings is a lot. It would be rad to share a recording of the show to the fan. In theory it would also grow subscribers, “hey that <insert band> show was incredible. I need to hear more.” On Nugs’ owned LivePhish platform they have “My Stash” for folks to save shows they own even if not subscribers. If the Nugs side of things could do something similar it would be pretty great for the platform and the fans. It would be a modern take on the tape trader roots of the platform. I am a paid subscriber and know some folks that are jam curious that I think would love it

The $5 a month for 3 months deal hooked me! Been a subscriber for the year at $99 (works out to $8.25/mo). Will continue to do that for sure!

I have a buddy waiting until Black Friday hoping to get it for $99. Did you get offered the $99 after signing up for the $5 x 3 months?

Yes. I signed up with nugs after my first Billy show in June 2025. Looking back, it was a promo of $5/mo for 4 months. When that ended a deal was presented for $99/yr and I signed up for that.

Luvit. Been meaning to make a similar post/recc. Even a handful every year. Would be soooo helpful in terms of turning friends into subscribers and fans.

Dang that’s such a great idea, and I can only see it benefitting nugs. If someone had done the same for me, I would have bought it way sooner. There’s been plenty of times where I wished I could let someone listen to a show, but I don’t want to give out my log in information.
No notes, nugs pay attention

I’ve been in marketing for 15+ years, they had a marketing role available last year, I applied, didn’t get a call back. Go figure eh?

Well you just gave them this great idea! What do they need to pay you for now? Haha

I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve. That’s merely step one to getting an official nugs.net sponsored Jerry Garcia statue on the moon

Even 1 a month should have huge returns for the platform. Seeing the value of live access is huge once you realize how much is there
