What is The Local Ticketโs Affiliate Network?
At its core, our affiliate feature is a fully-integrated marketing tool that allows you, the event organizer, to launch your own customized affiliate program in just a few clicks.
Think of it as giving each of your key stakeholdersโyour athletes, your band members, your dance crew, your community influencersโtheir very own ticket booth. We provide them with a unique, trackable, personal referral link. When they share that link with their network, and a sale is made, you can see exactly who sold that ticket.
It transforms your attendees from passive purchasers into active participants in your eventโs success. It turns your talent into your marketing team.
How It Works: A Simple 3-Step Process
Our system is built on simplicity. We handle the complex tracking technology so you can focus on building relationships and putting on a great show.
Affiliate Program: Ready to Go
Set your event ticket commission rates & your all setup
No setup required. When you create your event, simply activate the feature and set your terms. Choose percentage or flat-rate commissions, select eligible ticket types, and you're done.
Generate & Distribute Custom Links
Invite your network to join your affiliate program. Generate custom links
Once your commission is set, invite your network to become affiliates through your event dashboard. They'll instantly receive unique referral links to start selling tickets. Types of people to invite;
Athletes: Friends and family already love watching their athletes compete. Now, make it easy for them to share the event on social media and rally the whole community.
Performers: Generate a specific link for the lead singer, the drummer, and the backup dancers to share amongst their network.
Promoters: Give local influencers and street teams their own affiliate links. You simply copy these links and send them out via text, email, or WhatsApp.
Track, Analyze, and Reward
Find out who your MVP sellers are
This is where the magic happens. As your affiliates share their links on social media, in group chats, or at work, you watch the sales roll in on your organizer dashboard. You gain instant visibility into:
Whoย your top sellers are.
How manyย tickets each affiliate has moved.
How muchย commission they have earned.
In the world of live eventsโwhether itโs a high-stakes athletic competition, a captivating music performance, or a community festivalโword-of-mouth is your most powerful currency. But what if you could systemize that word-of-mouth, track its impact, and turn your biggest fans into your most effective sales force?

This isn't just a ticketing page; itโs a growth engine designed to turn your athletes, performers, and dedicated promoters into a high-performance marketing team. By utilizing our integrated affiliate tools, you can expand your reach exponentially, incentivize your community, and gain granular insights into exactly where your ticket sales are coming from.
The Problem: The Limits of Traditional Event Marketing
Letโs face it: marketing an event is hard work. As an organizer, you are likely juggling dozens of tasksโsecuring the venue, managing talent, coordinating logistics, and handling finances. When it comes to promotion, many organizers rely on the same few channels:
-
Social Media Ads:ย Effective, but costly and require constant optimization.
-
Email Marketing:ย Great for your existing list, but doesn't reach new circles.
-
Flyers & Posters:ย Difficult to track return on investment (ROI).
The biggest missed opportunity?ย The people already invested in your event.ย Your athletes want their friends and family in the stands. Your performers want a packed house. Your local promoters want to prove their influence.
The problem has always been the "how." How do you give them the tools to sell? How do you track their success? And most importantly,ย how do you reward themย for bringing in new business?
Our Built-In Affiliate & Promoter Network solves all of these problems effortlessly.

Use Cases: How Organizers Are Using The Affiliate Feature
Case Study 1: The Team Fundraiser Model
Imagine telling your basketball team that they can raise money for their own travel fund just by selling tickets to the big game. Each player gets a link. They send it to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors. Not only do you fill the bleachers with supportive fans, but the team also earns a commission to pay for new uniforms or tournament fees. Itโs a win for the organizer, a win for the athletes, and a win for the families.
Case Study 2: Dance Recitals & Theater
Every dancer has a fan club. Parents, grandparents, and friends are desperate to watch the recital. Give each dancer their own link. Watch how quickly tickets sell when the marketing is handled by proud parents sharing their childโs unique link on Facebook. You can even create a leaderboard to motivate the castโthe dancer who sells the most tickets gets a small prize or recognition during the show.
Case Study 3: Gigs & Concerts
The local music scene runs on networks. Give the opening band a link. Give the headliner a link. Give the local promoter a link. You instantly create a friendly competition to see who can draw the biggest crowd. Since you only pay commission on the sales they drive, you are essentially paying for guaranteed attendance.
Case Study 4: Races & Tournaments
In a CrossFit competition or a 5K race, participants are highly motivated to get their friends to come cheer them on. By giving each participant a referral link for spectator tickets, you turn every single athlete into a marketer.
Frequently Asked Questions โ
Q: Is it difficult to set up the affiliate program?
A: Not at all. It is built directly into the event creation process. If you can create an event on The Local Ticket, you can launch an affiliate program. It simply requires ticking a box and entering your commission preferences.
Q: Do my affiliates need to create an account?
A: No. The beauty of our system is its simplicity for the affiliate. They don't need to sign up for anything. You simply generate their unique link for them and send it over. They just copy, paste, and share. The tracking happens invisibly in the background.
Q: How does the tracking actually work?

Q: What happens if a customer clicks multiple affiliate links?
A: Our system uses a "last-click" attribution model. This means the commission is awarded to the affiliate whose link was clickedย lastย before the purchase. This is the industry standard and encourages affiliates to be the final touchpoint in the customer journey.
Q: Can I run an affiliate program for free?
A: The feature is available on our platform. You only pay the standard transaction fees for ticket sales. The commission you pay to your affiliates is set by you and is paid out of your ticket revenue.
