08. Event Landing Pages
- J Cobb (Unlicensed)
- Manish Bardolia (Unlicensed)
The Event page is where the consumer will select the tickets they wish to purchase. It generally includes a listing of all the available Ticket Groups as well as a seating chart. The Events / Show endpoint should be used first to retrieve the information regarding the Event including the Venue at which it occurs, the time (occurs_at), and the Performers which are scheduled to be at the Event. If you wish to display our interactive seating charts you can use our seatmaps-client to display the chart as well as allow selection of sections on the map.
