🎟️ The Skiddle Ticket Affiliate Programme

Join the Skiddle Ticket Affiliate Programme and earn commission by promoting tickets from our extensive What's On Guide.

With over 150,000 events, you can give your audience access to a huge range of events while earning commission from the ticket sales you generate.


🚀 Why Become a Skiddle Affiliate?

As an affiliate, you can:

  • 🎟️ Sell tickets for over 150,000 events

  • 📱 Promote tickets through your website, newsletters, Facebook groups and social channels

  • ⭐ Access the latest events, including many that are exclusive to Skiddle

  • 🔗 Link directly to Skiddle or specific events

  • 📊 Track your earnings with real-time reporting

  • 🎨 Access graphics, banners, buttons and search boxes to help promote ticket sales

You can also browse our current Tickets On Sale and explore events through our Festivals area.


🔗 How Does It Work?

Our affiliate programme allows you to link to the Skiddle What's On Guide and earn commission on every ticket sale generated through your referral.

You can either:

  • 🔗 Link to the What's On Guide homepage

  • 🎟️ Direct visitors to specific events

When someone follows your link to Skiddle, we track the referral for 30 days. If they purchase a ticket during this period, you'll receive a percentage of the revenue generated.


💷 How Much Commission Can I Earn?

A ticket price consists of two parts:

  • Face value — Set by the event organiser and paid directly to the promoter. Skiddle does not take a cut of the face value.

  • Booking fee — Typically 10–15% of the face value, which is retained by Skiddle to cover our margin and operating costs.

For referred sales, you'll receive a percentage of the booking fee, or a flat fee if preferred.

Typical earnings include:

  • 🎟️ Regular club nights: Around 10p–50p per ticket

  • 🎉 New Year's Eve and summer festivals: Up to £4 per ticket

Commission rates vary depending on factors such as the size and popularity of your website and how you integrate Skiddle events.

Commission starts at 30% of Skiddle's revenue, with rates regularly reviewed to reward high-performing affiliates.


🛠️ How Much Technical Knowledge Do I Need?

Not much!

Our Quicklink system makes getting started as simple as linking from your website to Skiddle.

For larger websites, we also offer event feeds and widgets to make integrating Skiddle events into your website easier.


🍪 How Long Does the Affiliate Cookie Last?

When a visitor arrives on Skiddle through your website, we place a cookie on their device to track the referral.

The cookie remains valid for 30 days.

💡 This means you can still receive commission even if the visitor doesn't purchase immediately. If they return to Skiddle directly and buy within the 30-day period, the sale can still be credited to you.


💰 How Do Payments Work?

Your commissions are tracked in real time, so you can log in at any time to view your earnings.

Once the event has taken place, due commissions are paid at the end of the month.

Our payment threshold is £25. If your earnings are below £25, the balance will roll over to the following month.

Payments are made via the Faster Payment Service, meaning funds should reach your account within 2 hours of the transfer.


👥 Who Can Join?

If you have a live, functioning website, you can apply to join the affiliate programme.

We don't have strict eligibility criteria, but your website should be of a reasonable standard and must not contain offensive content.

⚠️ Please note: Promoters who sell tickets through Skiddle are not eligible for the affiliate scheme. However, we may be able to offer a co-branded checkout for your website.
