ARTICLE 4 - How Referrals Work
What Counts as a Referral?
A referral is any event organizer, promoter, venue, or event creator who joins The Ticketing Co. because of your introduction. There are two main ways a referral can be credited to you:
1. Using Your Unique Ambassador Link (Coming Soon)
When an organizer signs up through your personalized referral link, the system automatically attributes that sign-up to you.
This covers situations such as:
You send your link directly to an organizer
You post it on social media and someone signs up
Someone shares your link on your behalf
If they use your link → you get credit.
2. Direct Introduction to Our Team
You can introduce an organizer directly to our team by:
Sending an email introduction
Tagging us in a joint message
Connecting us on Discord or another platform
Submitting their contact info through an Ambassador form (if applicable)
Once the introduction is made, we take over immediately, handling:
Outreach & follow-up
Platform onboarding
Account setup
Event configuration
Customer support
Your role ends at the introduction — we manage everything else.
What Does NOT Count as a Referral?
To protect fairness, certain scenarios cannot be credited:
Organizers already actively working with our team
Organizers already in our CRM from previous conversations
Organizers who signed up independently with no attribution
Duplicate introductions after a referral is already assigned
If you’re unsure, email us — we always aim to give ambassadors the benefit of the doubt.
Referral Credit Rules
Since multiple ambassadors may know the same organizers, we follow clear, fair rules:
Credit goes to the Ambassador who:
Introduced the organizer first, or
Has their referral link used first during signup
Whichever action happens first determines who gets credit.
Examples
Example A — Link Used First
Ambassador A and Ambassador B both know the organizer.
The organizer clicks Ambassador B’s link before Ambassador A makes an introduction →
Ambassador B receives the referral credit.
Example B — Introduction Made First
Ambassador A introduces an organizer by email on Monday.
The organizer clicks Ambassador B’s link on Tuesday →
Ambassador A receives the referral credit.
Example C — Repeated Introductions
If multiple ambassadors try to claim the same organizer:
We review timestamps
We check CRM records
We contact the organizer if necessary
Our goal is always transparency and fairness.
How We Track Referrals
We ensure that referrals are tracked accurately and fairly using:
1. Your Unique Ambassador Link
This automatically tags the organizer at signup and ensures instant attribution.
2. CRM Tagging & Backend Tracking
Our internal CRM assigns:
The ambassador’s name
Date of introduction
Date of signup
Event activity & revenue
This ensures accuracy throughout the organizer’s lifecycle.
3. Manual Validation for Direct Introductions
If you introduce someone manually:
Our team confirms your intro
Your ambassador profile is tagged
The referral is attached to you before onboarding begins
This ensures no referral is ever lost due to technical limitations.
4. Ongoing Monitoring
We periodically:
Review active referrals
Check for duplicate claims
Validate attribution data
Confirm correct assignments during payout calculations
You can always trust that tracking is accurate and up-to-date.
What If I Believe a Referral Was Missed?
You can always contact us at:
📩 tim@theticketing.co
Include:
Organizer name
Any screenshots or communication
Details of your intro or link use
We review every case thoroughly and always choose the most fair and transparent outcome.
