Quick Answer

Use the Event Website field to link visitors to your ticketing platform. Enter the URL where attendees can purchase tickets or register. Heritage Web displays pricing in Events Tickets but all actual purchases happen on your external platform.

Overview

Heritage Web shows ticket information but doesn't process sales. Visitors see your pricing on the listing, then click through to Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, your organization's website, or any registration platform to complete their purchase.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Set Up Your External Ticketing

Choose your platform and create your event:

  • Eventbrite

  • Ticketmaster

  • Your organization's website

  • Google Forms or Typeform for RSVPs

  • Zoom registration for virtual events

Step 2: Add the Event Website Link

  1. Open your event listing

  2. Find the Event Website field

  3. Enter the full URL starting with https://

  4. Examples:

    • https://www.eventbrite.com/e/your-event-123456789

    • https://yourorganization.com/events/gala-2025

    • https://zoom.us/meeting/register/your-meeting-id

Step 3: Display Pricing Information

  1. Add your ticket tiers in Events Tickets

  2. Match the pricing shown on your external platform

  3. This gives visitors cost information before clicking through

Important Notes

  • Always include https:// at the start of your URL

  • Test the link before publishing to ensure it works

  • Update the link if your ticketing URL changes

  • Visitors expect the link to take them directly to purchase/registration

FAQs

What if I don't have a ticketing platform? You can leave Event Website blank, but consider free options like Eventbrite (free for free events) or Google Forms for simple RSVPs.

Should my prices exactly match the ticketing site? Yes. Keep Heritage Web pricing consistent with your actual platform to avoid confusion when visitors click through.

Can I link to a contact form instead of ticketing? Yes. Any URL works—contact forms, email signups, or general event pages. The field accepts any valid web address.

What about events requiring approval to attend? Link to an application form or contact page. Mention in your description that attendance requires approval.
