Calendar Sell Event Tickets through EventBrite

[Alpha1]

Eventbrite APIv3 Developer Documentation - Eventbrite Developer Center
Please add a function that displays 'buy ticket' and makes use of the EventBrite API.
This will allow us to gain affiliate revenue through ticket sales.

As Google is giving microdata warnings about the missing 'offer' schema, please add this microdata when this is implemented.

How would you earn affiliate revenue from this? You've linked API docs but there's nothing there (from a brief look around) about affiliate revenue, etc.

Eventbrite affiliate programme members use a special URL for an event, sales through visits to this URL gives the commission to the affiliate.

The API can only expose the details for users to purchase a ticket. i.e. price, eventID, etc.
If the admin has an affiliate account with EventBrite and the event organizer has invited the admin then affiliate commission will be earned. The link always contain the same affiliateID, but the eventID is different. The EventID can be retrieved from the API so that a 'Buy ticket from EventBrite for $30' link or button can be created.

It is a little tedious to request an affiliate invite per event, but once an Event organizer has the admin email address, then they will generally keep sending an invite for every new event.
I can see potential for Organizer profiles as well.

Thanks both, that's handy. I'll give those links a read and see what can be done.

Did anything ever come of this?

Nope, no real interest and unlikely to happen TBH.

I've been messing with the idea of event tickets recently though but, if it was something I added to the add-on, event tickets would be sold using the XF payment system.

That could only be useful for cases where the poster is both the organizer and the site admin. Because the buyer would then pay to the site owner. IME most events are posted by community members who are not the admin and often also not the organizer. Its a nice idea, but I doubt it would be useful.
