Commission Rate & Model

Commission Model
RS
Show more
TicketNetwork’s offer on Travelpayouts pays a percentage of the order amount, but the rate depends on how the partner is categorized in the offer: ticket comparison sites receive one rate, while other partners receive a higher rate. A key detail in this program is the commission base: payouts are calculated on the ticket price only, and do not include service fees or shipping fees.
Reward rate range: 6%–12.5%
Ticket comparison sites: 6%
Other partners: 12.5%
Commission base: ticket price only
Excluded: service fees
Excluded: shipping fees
| Commission element | What TicketNetwork offers | How it’s applied in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Rate (ticket comparison sites) | 6% of the order amount | This lower rate applies specifically to partners who qualify as ticket comparison sites under the offer’s classification. |
| Rate (other partners) | 12.5% of the order amount | This higher rate applies to partners outside the “ticket comparison site” category. |
| Commissionable amount | Ticket price only | The commission is calculated using only the ticket price portion of the cart total. |
| Non-commissionable amount | Excluded: service fees + shipping fees | Any add-on costs and delivery/shipping charges do not increase the commissionable base. |
| Offer economics signal | Program highlights average order size over $350 | Higher ticket prices can produce meaningful per-sale commissions even with the “ticket-only” base rule (fees don’t count, ticket value does). |
What the structure rewards most
- High-value tickets (premium seats, high-demand events)
- Headliner event intent (artist/team/show-specific searches)
- Desktop purchase behavior (this offer is rewarded on desktop web only)
- Fast conversion journeys (less time for users to click competing affiliate links)
What reduces the effective payout
- Service fees and shipping do not count toward the commission base
- Lower rate classification if a partner is treated as a ticket comparison site (6%)
- Highly competitive “tickets” journeys (users often compare multiple marketplaces before purchase)
- Future-dated events can delay confirmation (commission is paid after the event date passes and the order is not cancelled)
Commission math example (base rule):
If a cart total is $420, but $90 of that is service/shipping fees, the commission is calculated on the remaining $330 ticket price. The percentage applied is 6% (ticket comparison sites) or 12.5% (other partners), based on partner classification.
If a cart total is $420, but $90 of that is service/shipping fees, the commission is calculated on the remaining $330 ticket price. The percentage applied is 6% (ticket comparison sites) or 12.5% (other partners), based on partner classification.
Visitor takeaway: TicketNetwork (via Travelpayouts) pays 6% or 12.5% depending on partner type, and the commission is calculated on
ticket price only (service fees and shipping fees are excluded). This makes the offer most valuable when ticket price (not fees) is the main driver of cart size.
Cookie Duration
Cookie Duration
45 days
Show more
TicketNetwork’s Travelpayouts offer uses a 45-day cookie. A purchase can be attributed to the affiliate if it occurs within 45 days of the click and the order remains valid under the offer’s confirmation rules. The most important tracking limitation is platform eligibility: the offer is marked as rewarded on desktop web, while mobile web and in-app orders are listed as not rewarded.
Cookie window: 45 days
Rewarded: Desktop web
Not rewarded: Mobile web
Not rewarded: App
Typical attribution: last-click within cookie
Confirmation gate: event date must pass
| Tracking element | What TicketNetwork offers | What this means for attribution |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie duration | 45 days tracking window. | Purchases made within 45 days after the click can attribute to the affiliate, assuming tracking remains intact and the order is not cancelled. |
| Attribution model | Standard network behavior is typically last-click within the cookie window. | If a user clicks another affiliate link before purchasing (within 45 days), attribution can be overwritten. This is common in ticketing because buyers often compare multiple marketplaces. |
| Rewarded platform | Desktop web is rewarded. | The conversion has to complete on desktop web to be eligible for commission in the offer listing. |
| Not rewarded platforms | Mobile web and in-app are listed as not rewarded. | Even if a click is tracked, orders completed on mobile web or inside an app are not eligible for commission under the offer’s rewarded-platform rules. |
| Order confirmation gate | Commission is paid when the event date has passed and the order has not been cancelled. | Attribution may appear “pending” for a long period for future-dated events, and cancelled orders do not generate commission. |
| Cross-device / privacy risk | Cookie-based tracking is sensitive to device switching and browser privacy tools. | A common loss pattern is: user clicks on one device and buys on another, or cookies are blocked/cleared before checkout. |
Best journeys for a 45-day cookie (with desktop-only reward)
- Desktop event-intent pages: “tickets for [artist/team/show]” + date/location
- Venue pages: seating/entry/parking info with a prominent desktop CTA
- City event calendars that route users to desktop checkout
- Seasonal hubs: playoffs, festival season, holiday theatre peaks
What most commonly breaks attribution here
- Checkout happens on mobile web or in-app (listed as not rewarded)
- User compares multiple sites and last-click is overwritten
- Cross-device purchase (cookie doesn’t carry)
- Browser privacy tools/ad blockers prevent cookie storage
- Order is cancelled before the event date (no commission)
Simple example:
User clicks your TicketNetwork link → returns and purchases within 45 days on desktop web → order remains active → commission becomes payable after the event date passes (and the order is not cancelled).
User clicks your TicketNetwork link → returns and purchases within 45 days on desktop web → order remains active → commission becomes payable after the event date passes (and the order is not cancelled).
Visitor takeaway: TicketNetwork (via Travelpayouts) offers a 45-day cookie, but eligibility depends heavily on
platform: only desktop web orders are rewarded in the offer listing (mobile web and app are not).
Commission confirmation is also delayed until the event date passes and the order is not cancelled.
Payouts

Show more
TicketNetwork’s commissions inside Travelpayouts are not finalized at the moment of purchase. The program’s payout rule is explicit: the commission is credited as payable only when the event date has passed and the order has not been cancelled. This means reporting can show a long “pending” period for future-dated events, and cancelled orders do not generate payout. Affiliate withdrawals are then handled by Travelpayouts using the payment methods available in the affiliate’s payout profile.
Commission payable when: event date passed
Not payable if: order cancelled
Who pays affiliates: Travelpayouts
Rewarded platform: Desktop web only
Not rewarded: Mobile web & App
Minimum payout: method/account-dependent
| Item | What the program uses | What it means for payouts |
|---|---|---|
| When a sale becomes payable | Commission is paid when the event date has passed and the order is not cancelled. | For events far in the future, commissions can remain pending until after the event. The “approval lag” is tied to the event date, not the click date. |
| Cancellation impact | The order must remain active through the event date. | Cancelled orders do not qualify for commission, even if the original click tracked successfully. |
| Rewarded platforms (eligibility) | Desktop web is rewarded; mobile web and app are listed as not rewarded. | Orders completed on mobile web or in-app are not eligible for commission under the offer’s platform rules, which directly affects payable earnings. |
| Who processes affiliate payments | Affiliate payouts are processed by Travelpayouts. | The withdrawal schedule, payout status, and transaction delivery depend on Travelpayouts’ payout processing and the affiliate’s payout profile. |
| Payment methods | Payment options are the ones enabled inside the affiliate’s Travelpayouts account and can vary by country. | Different payout methods can have different minimum thresholds and processing times, set at the account/payment-method level. |
What typically creates a “long pending” period
- Events scheduled weeks/months ahead (commission waits until after the event date)
- High season schedules (sports seasons, major tours) where purchases happen far in advance
- Orders needing to remain valid through the event date (cancellations remove eligibility)
What can reduce payable earnings
- Order is cancelled before the event date
- Purchase completed on mobile web (listed as not rewarded)
- Purchase completed in-app (listed as not rewarded)
- Affiliate balance remains below Travelpayouts’ withdrawal minimum for the selected payment method
Simple payout timeline:
User buys tickets today → commission appears in reporting → remains pending until the event date passes → if the order is not cancelled, the commission becomes payable → affiliate withdrawal is processed by Travelpayouts using the payment method set in the payout profile.
User buys tickets today → commission appears in reporting → remains pending until the event date passes → if the order is not cancelled, the commission becomes payable → affiliate withdrawal is processed by Travelpayouts using the payment method set in the payout profile.
Visitor takeaway: TicketNetwork (via Travelpayouts) is a post-event validation offer: commissions become payable only after the
event date has passed and the order is not cancelled. Reward eligibility is also platform-specific
(desktop web rewarded; mobile web and app listed as not rewarded). Affiliate payments are issued through Travelpayouts
using the payment methods available in the affiliate’s account.

TicketNetwork is positioned as an online ticket marketplace covering sports, concerts, and theatre. In Travelpayouts, the offer is marked for Worldwide targeting and is listed in the Tours & Activities category. The biggest operational constraint for audience targeting is platform eligibility: the offer is rewarded on desktop web, while mobile web and in-app orders are shown as not rewarded.

Best fit: Event-intent audiences
Best-fit audience personas
- Concert ticket buyers searching by artist/tour name and city/venue
- Sports fans searching by team matchup and venue (season-driven demand)
- Theatre & showgoers searching by show title and dates
- Last-minute buyers looking for near-term availability (often time-sensitive)
- Gift purchasers buying tickets around holidays and special occasions
Traffic environments that typically align with this offer

- Artist/team/show intent pages (“tickets for…” patterns)
- Venue pages (seating guides, parking/entry info + ticket link placement)
- Communities and social discussion spaces where users plan attendance
- Desktop-heavy audiences (important due to desktop-only rewarded platform)
| Segment | What tends to convert | Key constraint / note |
|---|---|---|
| Worldwide (default) | Users searching for specific events (artist/team/show) with clear date/location intent. | Reward eligibility is tied to desktop web orders; mobile web and app are listed as not rewarded. |
| High-intent “tickets for…” searches | Query patterns like “tickets for [event]”, “tickets [team vs team]”, “tickets [artist] [city]”, and venue/date combinations. | Users often compare multiple marketplaces, which can increase attribution overwrite risk inside cookie windows. |
| Local event hubs (city/venue clusters) | City guides, venue pages, and seasonal calendars that surface events with clear CTAs. | Works best when purchase behavior skews desktop (office browsing, at-home planning, larger-screen checkout). |
| Content channel compliance (Travelpayouts listing) | Content creation/cashback/travel business are marked as allowed across Website, Social, Messaging, App, and Newsletter. | The offer listing shows Video platform: not allowed, plus Coupons/promo codes and Media buying as not allowed. |
