Can I promote on social media?▼
Yes! Social media promotion is encouraged. Just make sure to include proper FTC disclosure (like "#ad" or "#affiliate") in all promotional posts. Authentic recommendations to your audience work best.
What about paid advertising?▼
Yes, with restrictions: ✅ Allowed: Generic keywords like "ballet tickets NYC" or "opera tickets Chicago" ❌ Prohibited: Bidding on "CultureTicks" or our trademark terms, using our brand name in domains, offering cashback/rebates Violations result in immediate removal from the program.
Do I need to disclose my affiliate relationship?▼
YES. FTC regulations require clear disclosure on all affiliate promotions. Use language like "This post contains affiliate links" or "#affiliate #ad" in social posts. This protects both you and us legally.

Log into your Stripe Connect dashboard to see real-time earnings, payout history, and transaction details. Every time someone uses your promo code at checkout, you'll see the commission in your dashboard.
What types of content work best?▼
We're still learning what converts best, but generally: • Event-specific content (reviews, previews, venue guides) • City-specific "things to do" posts • Date night and lifestyle recommendations • Email newsletters to engaged subscribers • Social media posts sharing your promo code We'll share performance insights with partners as we gather more data.
Can I promote specific shows or venues?▼
Yes! Share your promo code alongside any CultureTicks content. Customers can use your code at checkout for any event on our site, and you'll earn commission on the entire purchase.
What if I have questions or need support?▼
Email us at affiliates@cultureticks.com. We typically respond within 1-2 business days and are here to help you succeed.
Is there a minimum traffic requirement?▼
No strict minimum, but we look for partners with engaged audiences interested in arts and culture. Quality matters more than quantity.
Can I see what events are available before I apply?▼
Yes! Browse our full event catalog at cultureticks.com/events to see if our inventory matches your audience.
