TicketSource¶
PlaceCal can import events from TicketSource using their REST API. TicketSource is a UK-based ticketing platform used by many theatres, arts centres, and community venues.
How to import from TicketSource¶
You need two things to set up a TicketSource calendar in PlaceCal:
- Your venue page URL (not individual event pages), in the format:
https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/your-venue-name- A TicketSource API key. To find this:
- Log in to your TicketSource account
- Go to Settings > API
- Copy your API key using the copy button next to it
Your API key will look something like skl-1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b9c0d. See TicketSource's API integration guide for more details.
Paste the venue URL into the URL field and the API key into the API key field when adding a calendar. PlaceCal will automatically detect it as a TicketSource source and import all upcoming events from that venue.
Information PlaceCal imports from TicketSource¶
- Event title
- Description
- Start date and time
- End date and time
- Location/venue address
- Event URL
Important notes¶
Venue pages only¶
PlaceCal imports from venue pages, not individual event pages. Make sure you use the main venue URL (e.g., https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/fairfield-house) rather than a specific event or ticket URL.
Multiple time slots¶
If an event has multiple performances or time slots, PlaceCal will import each one as a separate event with its own date and time.
