We can get a rev share of EB tickets through their referral program. What we'll need to do to make this work:

1. When calling their user_new method to create a new user, we add two parameters:

a. ref parameter which is the referral code
{{{
ref=broadcause
}}}

b. user_key parameter for the Eventbrite account that owns the referral code (in this case it's loren@experienceproject.com)
My user key:
{{{
user_key=12656544923368024853
}}}

2. I already set up paypal@experienceproject.com as the account to receive the funds, so we're good there.

e.g. The resulting URL might look something like this (NOTE: the actual values are wrong)
https://www.eventbrite.com/xml/user_new?app_key=NjQ4MDJkX2NhMTEz&user_key=1224280584210375838&email=mitch@eventbrite.com&passwd=password&ref=broadcause

We'll get a 25% cut of revenues.

To check stats, login to Eventbrite with:
