Some ticket links are tagged.
When you click Get Tickets on a Showbase event page, the destination URL sometimes carries a partner-program tracking parameter. If the ticketing site honors it and you make a purchase in that session, Showbase may earn a small commission from the ticketing company — not from you. Your price is unchanged.

What affiliate revenue doesn't influence
- A show's score or tier. The ranking engine never considers which ticketing source a link points to. Whether a show is wrapped with an affiliate code or not, it gets the same score.
- Rail placement. Trending Tonight, Must See, Underground Picks — none of them consider whether a show's source pays us.
- Which events make a digest. The weekly email (when you follow an artist) is scoped to matches on your follow list + a minimum quality score.
- Search ranking. Free-text search uses the same score as the rails.
- Your price. Affiliate commissions are paid by the ticketing partner out of their margin, never added to the ticket price.
FTC compliance
This page exists in part because we're required to disclose affiliate relationships under the FTC's Endorsement Guides. Every event-detail page also shows a small "affiliate link" note next to the Get Tickets button when the outbound URL is wrapped, so the disclosure is point-of-click, not just buried in a footer page.
