Affiliate Disclosure & Commercial Transparency Notice
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and international consumer protection standards, please review our affiliate monetisation practices and commercial operating model.
Our Zero-Cost Guarantee to You
TourAndTunes.com is 100% free for all visitors. When you click outbound ticket referral links on our website and complete a purchase with an authorized ticketing provider, we may earn an affiliate commission. This referral fee is paid entirely by the ticketing provider and incurs zero additional cost to you. Ticket prices remain identical whether you access the seller through TourAndTunes or navigate directly.
Our Authorised Ticketing Referral Partners
To provide broad seating availability and global tour schedules, we partner with reputable, authorized primary and secondary ticket marketplaces:
| Partner Marketplace | Market Segment | Buyer Protection Policy | Commercial Relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticketmaster / Live Nation | Primary Box Office | Official venue-verified original barcode delivery. | Approved affiliate referral tracking. |
| StubHub | Secondary Resale | Backing via the 100% StubHub FanProtect Guarantee. | Approved affiliate referral tracking. |
| TicketNetwork | Secondary Resale | Guaranteed authentic tickets delivered prior to event time. | Approved affiliate referral tracking. |
| viagogo | Global Secondary Resale | Guaranteed entry with full replacement or refund assurance. | Approved affiliate referral tracking. |
Strict Editorial & Ranking Independence
Our commitment to live music fans requires complete editorial integrity:
- Unbiased Event Listings: Concert dates, tour itineraries, and festival lineups are indexed based purely on fan interest, tour announcements, and musical relevance—never by which partner offers the highest commission rate.
- Clear Distinction of Resale vs. Box Office: When resale inventory is shown, we clearly indicate that prices may exceed face value. We never disguise secondary resale tickets as original primary box office tickets.
- No Artificial Scarcity: We do not deploy deceptive countdown timers or false claims regarding remaining ticket quantities.
Outbound Click Tracking Architecture
When you click on a ticket provider link on our site, your browser routes through our secure outbound redirect handler (e.g. /out/{provider}/{concert_id}). This system performs two automated functions:
- Bot & Abuse Filtration: Evaluates the request against suspicious crawler signatures and logs a cryptographically salted SHA-256 hash of the IP address (raw IP addresses are discarded immediately) to maintain reliable analytics.
- Affiliate Partner Attribution: Appends our registered publisher identifier to the ticketing partner URL so the partner can recognize TourAndTunes as the referral source.
