All Events in the Database

There are a public URLs which will give you all future events in the database that are for sale or published online. Public access means that these mechanisms provide the same data available to the patron if they were purchasing online and looked at your event list.

These include:

• ICS format - which can be imported into a web object that understands importing ICS files

  https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/calendars/upcoming_events.ics

• full interactive web page - which might suitable for embedding in another web site or on your commerce web site

  https://tickets.yourvenue.org/TheatreManager/1/calendars/upcoming_events?view=month&start=2018-07-01

  The parameters are optional:

  • view= can be one of: month (the default), week or list
  • start=, if provided, should be in yyyy-mm-dd format. the default is this month.
• You can use a pseudo XML export format using the Export Events URL
• You can also use an event list export using the REST api. This is the only query that requires an API login since sales information could also be accessed

This might be useful for linking to any calendar on a phone, tablet or computer, within or outside the organization so that Patrons, Volunteers, Staff and/or Board members can see what is available, when it occurs and make it easy to buy.

The sample calendar was pulled from our test database as an ICS file. It was opened in iCal to show the content:

• The date of the event
• The time that the event starts
• The duration of the event, based on the duration set in event setup->Marketing tab
• and in the detail, the person who downloaded the calendar can see the location, contact information, and a link to buy a ticket
