If you have been tempted by this, here was the link:

THE LINK WAS HERE TO GO TO THE PLACE!

www.ticketmaster.co.uk affiliate program was with BUY AT and also there was a Ticketmaster independent affiliate program. Obviously we're not going to sign the Buy.at contract in the initial form it exists, and Buy.at have so far failed to sort out a reasonable version. However, the Ticketmaster site serves a notable purpose in being an online location which is publically accessible on the Internet, where Buy.at's contract is visible in plain text. Therefore, as the wording of the Buy.at contract is available in the public domain, it can not be considered confidential.

Regarding the independent affiliate program, there are a few points which would have to be sorted out, and it is such a long and verbose contract, and it hardly seems worth putting the time and effort into all this for 25 pence commission per sale! ;-)

However, customers can take heart in the fact that this page is still up, still showing the web address of Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.co.uk for them to copy&paste in. No hard feelings towards Ticketmaster. After all, it's not their fault that Buy.at failed to get their contract sorted out. At the time of writing, the original form of the Buy.at contract (complete with mistakes and faulty assumptions) was embarrassingly visible at the site! To see this, link on "affiliate" and then look closer into it and see the side-by-side contracts.

I hope Ticketmaster will at some time have a good affiliate program which we can agree to, and then we can go on being good for business in the long term!
