Build a custom event page

We’ve launched an exciting new feature which allows our clients to customize their own unique web page for each event. A custom page for each event can be built by using the simple WYSIWYG tools on the HTML Description field and the other options under Custom Event Options such as Custom Page Background Image and Background Color picker. A Google map to the event is drawn automatically from the given event address. Dynamic content such as band bios, photos and video can be pulled in from last.fm by simply entering an artist’s name. Each event page gets a custom URL to link-to like “https://holdmyticket.com/event/6994″ and each page automatically generates an array of social networking buttons for fans to instantly post events on sites like Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. Also, under Media Options we added the ability to upload images and even attach YouTube videos to a custom page!
