Affiliate disclosure, without the legal fog machine

How DontPikMe may earn commission from ticket links while keeping pick-me risk rankings independent.

Quick answer

Affiliate disclosure, without the legal fog machine

DontPikMe may earn commission when visitors click qualifying ticket links or buy through third-party providers. Rankings are based on participation-risk signals, not commission rate.

  • Updated 2026-05-18.
  • Independent guidance; ticket providers control checkout and availability.
  • Risk scores are estimates, not official venue promises.

How affiliate links work

Some ticket links include tracking parameters or affiliate identifiers. If a visitor buys after clicking, DontPikMe may earn a commission from the provider or network.

What does not change

Affiliate tracking does not make DontPikMe the seller of record, does not control ticket prices, and does not change the score methodology.

  • Ticket checkout happens with the third-party provider.
  • The provider controls fees, seat maps, refunds, cancellations, and customer support.
  • The site can earn commission while still warning you that a front table looks cursed.

How we protect editorial independence

The scoring model reads event and venue signals first. Commercial tracking is treated as attribution, not as a ranking input.
