Events are inherently social...and so is event promotion! Sign up as an affiliate of an event to earn money when you drive ticket sales to that event. Read on for more information about event affiliate programs.

Tip: When you join an event-specific affiliate program you are entering into an affiliate relationship with the event organizer, not with Eventbrite. We recommend getting in touch with the event organizer before promoting any event-specific affiliate program, especially those listed on the public event affiliate programs page.

More on event-specific affiliate programs

With the affiliate program tool, event organizers can create an event-specific affiliate program for their event. This enables event organizers to increase attendance to their event by offering a referral commission to third-party promoters. The payment can either be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the ticket price--it's entirely up to the event organizer. Eventbrite gives event organizers and their affiliates all the tools they need to send, receive and track traffic, as well as keep track of commissions. When you join an event-specific affiliate program, you will receive a unique URL which you must use to refer attendees to that event.

There are two ways to join an event-specific affiliate program:

You may receive an invitation via email from the event organizer. In this case, simply click on the embedded link to join the program.

You may also find an event affiliate program that interests you listed on the public event affiliate programs page. In this case, simply click the Join button. If you don't already have an Eventbrite account, you'll be directed to create one.

Once you've joined an affiliate program:

Keep track of your earnings on the Event Affiliate Program page, which you can access by clicking Account in the upper right. All of your event affiliate programs will be listed here, along with basic stats and earnings. Direct any questions you have about earnings or payments to the event organizer. Eventbrite provides a convenient Contact the Organizer link under the event name.

Note: Your PayPal account email address is listed at the bottom of the Payment Accounts page, which is accessed by clicking the Account tab in the upper right. Make sure this account email is accurate! If you don't have a PayPal account, open an account now. Affiliate program owners are responsible for making payments to your PayPal account unless otherwise indicated in their affiliate program description. Eventbrite is in no way responsible for any earnings owed to you by event organizers.
