Is there a fast way to get the Songkick artist page by musicbrainz ID?

Assuming 251546 is Aphex Twin's Songkick ID and  f22942a1-6f70-4f48-866e-238cb2308fbd is his Musicbrainz ID I hoped that http://www.songkick.com/artists/251546 and http://www.songkick.com/artists/mbid:f22942a1-6f70-4f48-866e-238cb2308fbd pointed me to the same page, just like the API does.

Are there similar ways so I can save an API call to get Songkick ID starting from a musicbrainz ID?

I'm not sure if that quite answers your question, but you can use the Echonest Rosetta Stone project (http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/index.html#rosetta) to return ids in various formats.

Using your example,
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/artist/profile?api_key=[your_api_key]&id=musicbrainz:artist:f22942a1-6f70-4f48-866e-238cb2308fbd&bucket=id:songkick
.. will return the Songkick artist ID for the musicbrainz id provided.

HTH,
Mario.
