Affiliate disclosure

The one rule that matters most

Commission never affects which events we show, how we rank them, or how visible they are.

Our discovery and ranking are driven entirely by relevance, recency, and trust signals — not by whether an event has a paid ticket link. An event with no ticket link and an event that earns us commission are ranked by exactly the same rules. This separation (we call it a revenue firewall) is deliberate and absolute.

Which relationships are paid

ThatEventSite may earn a commission from ticket and experience partners — including Ticketmaster, TicketNetwork, and Viator — where applicable:

• Ticketmaster (via the Impact affiliate network). When a “Find Tickets” button routes through our Ticketmaster affiliate link, that is a paid link.
• TicketNetwork (via the Impact affiliate network). TicketNetwork is a secondary-market (resale) marketplace, so prices are set by sellers and may be above or below face value.
• Viator (a Tripadvisor company). When you book a tour, activity, or experience through a Viator link in our things-to-do listings, that is a paid link.

Which partner a given button uses depends on the event and where the tickets are sold, so not every listing carries a paid link. Other services we pull public information from — such as Eventbrite, venue websites, and civic calendars — are information sources, not affiliate partners, and we are not paid a commission on them.

Where you will see the disclosure

In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidance, the disclosure appears right next to each paid ticket link — not only here. On any event page with an affiliate ticket button you will see, in plain language:

“We may earn a commission if you buy tickets through this link (paid link). This never affects which events we show or how we rank them.”

This page is a centralized, plain-English summary — it supplements, and does not replace, the disclosure shown with each link.

Why we use affiliate links at all

Affiliate commission helps fund the work of mapping a city’s events — discovering venues, verifying listings across multiple sources, and keeping information current — while the platform stays free for visitors. It is one revenue stream among several we are building, and it is held behind the firewall described above.
