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

• TicketNetwork (via the Impact affiliate network) is our one proven affiliate relationship. When you see a “Find Tickets” button that routes through TicketNetwork, that is a paid link. TicketNetwork is a secondary-market (resale) marketplace, so prices are set by sellers and may be above or below face value.
• Ticketmaster and other sources are data sources, not affiliate revenue. We read public event and ticketing information from sources like Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, venue sites, and civic calendars to build the listing — but we are not currently paid an affiliate 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.
