I've not had a chance to look at it - just stupidly busy this time of year - tho now you've reminded me I'll make extra efforts to get round to investigating soon.

It wasn't a nag (wouldn't dare  ) just curious if there was anything to it.  Anyway you can't be that busy, you only do Glastonbury stuff anyway, right?

there's bound to be something to it - my rubbish programming, probably.

I'll post back here when I've found a few minutes to take a look.

Have found and fixed the problem, tho it's raised another more minor problem (visual rather than anything else) which I'll live with until I have more time to put into it.

thanks, will get it fixed.

update: it appears to be caused by a bug in the forums menu manager, so i've raised a ticket about it with the software makers. It might be a few days before it's fixed.

This has now been fixed.

Unfortunately I had to use a kludge to do it, but it does take you to Ticketweb now.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

@eFestivals how do you go about getting venues added to your list?  New live music venue has opened up in Horsham.  Is it based on your links with promoters / ticket agencies, or do you work with the venue directly?

if that venue sells their tickets with See or Ticketline (who's feeds we read) it'll get onto the systems here sooner or later.

There's just not the time to manually manage the ticket listings.

No worries, was seeing if we could open up another revenue stream for you

Hi

Can't find the link to a guaranteed Glastonbury 2019 ticket here. 

Cam you help?

Question @eFestivals. Went to buy a ticket for Slow Readers Club @ The Haunt in Brighton on 9th Apr, and although you've got both the venue and the band listed and available for other gigs, that one in particular wasnt available through eGigs.

Any particular reason why one gig on a tour wouldn't be available? Afraid I had to buy direct from Seetickets.

if you got it from See then the gig should have been in their event feed, which is what the gigs are listed from.

So i'm not entirely sure what went wrong, tho it's probably due to the manual intervention that's sometimes required for gigs to be listed.

No worries, if I see it again on anything else I'll flag it

@eFestivals
 I've bought the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder CDs off Amazon, pre ordered for June, so hopefully you'll see that transaction soon.

Beths and Skints all booked

Come on now people, easy as pie and makes absolutely no difference to your ticket price or anything like that!

Another spot in your gig listings @eFestivals.

The Haunt in Brighton has closed and been replaced by Chalk. The ticket links on egigs are still working, but might confuse people searching for gig listings.

@eFestivals did I remember reading somewhere on here that your revenue model for ticket referrals is under threat at the moment as well?  Debating buying some tickets now for later to try and help shore up some bands and venues, will you still be getting revenue from that?

No worries if it's business information you can't really share

Some (all? I'm not sure) ticket agents don't pay the booking fees on cancelled events, which gets deducted from future commissions - so there's going to be a hit from that.  

At worst (if it's cancelled), for a ticket bought today they'll take back any commission they've paid. So I'll get revenue from what you buy, as long as it isn't cancelled later.

Thanks for your support.

Fuck it, I'm giving myself stuff to look forward to, even if it is just blindingly optimistic.

Slow Readers Club booked through egigs 🤘

Hey @Bryanr100

So efestivals doesn't actually have its own stock of tickets to sell.  If you search here or on egigs.co.uk for tickets, it will direct you to the ticket seller's website (e.g. SeeTickets) and efestivals gets a small referral fee if you then buy them.  Similar to using a cashback website, except the cashback goes to efestivals.  It's an additional income stream to keep the site going.

That's how I've always understood it, pretty sure someone will tell me if I'm wrong! Good luck with getting tickets
