Ticketmaster Affiliate Widgets
Affiliate Program: Ticketmaster Affiliate program
Developed By: Ticketmaster
Use On: Web site, blogs, e-mail, social networking sites.

Just last month Ticketmaster, through its affiliate program, launched a selection of interesting widgets called Event Engine Widgets. These new widgets let affiliates post relevant content about upcoming events on their blogs and Web sites. Ticketmaster widgets are a perfect match for anyone publishing content that, for example, pertain to city guides or those with music-oriented fan sites. What's unique about these widgets is that they are dynamically updated with the latest relevant information from Ticketmaster. When you choose a location or specific artist, if there is no current event information, the widget will still display relevant information for your site readers. Ticketmaster offers the following widgets through its affiliate program which pays a commission per event ticket sold through your referral link.

• Artist/Performer: A widget for your favorite performer. When the performer is on tour the widget will dynamically list all upcoming dates. If there are currently no shows available users on your site will see artist info page links and bios.
• Regional Event: This widget will help site visitors find events close to hotels, restaurants or local neighborhoods by listing upcoming events that are nearest to the location you specify.
• Regional Venue: A bit like the Regional Event widget, the regional venue displays live entertainment venues nearest your specified location.
• Venue Calendar: Here you select a specific venue and the widget will display a list of upcoming events at the venue you specify. This would be an excellent widget for those maintaining city guide and directory type blogs and sites.
