Looks really neat. I use to work in this space, and it's just a dreadful collection of slow outdated systems cobbled together, so your site is a breath of fresh air.

I notice that you are redirecting to 3rd parties when people "book now", do you have affiliate/kickback agreements with these places, or are you just doing it out of the goodness of your heart?

The company I use to work for maintains an API for integrating with all these systems for booking tickets etc. It is... interesting...in terms of reliability, but it might help you integrate an "on platform" solution. Given that your website is slick, and that the industry is horrendously technologically backwards, you could probably turn this into a decent biz.

Disclaimer: No current affiliation, use to work there, helped build the current JSON API, learned the hard way about how backwards these systems are.

Less than 5% of the links we have are affiliate links, a few sites in the industry we noticed will only list venues that give a kickback, but we want to list everything and we've got a few other ideas of monetisation later down the link (the small number of affiliate links we have at the moment are working pretty well).

A ticketing solution is certainly one of the options we have, especially for the smaller productions which are in makeshift theatres (a fair few in working mens clubs!)

It's such a gross industry, heavily dependant on who you know.

Best of luck out there.

I also work in this space, mostly on websites for theatres, including lots on OP's list. Very cool to see this project

Such a backwards industry sometimes, although change is slowly coming at least in Box Office/CRM APIs for individual theatres.
