I've noticed that most of the links to Seetickets you've put up on the band pages don't seem to be working for me, I get the message below but links to ticketline, wegottickets etc seem to be fine.
"404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

thanks - it seems that See Tickets have changed their linking method, which has made those not work.

I'll get in touch with them to find out the new method, and get how we link to their tickets amended.

See have told me that they hope to get things fixed &/or give me a solution to correct the links to something that works by the end of today.

Fingers crossed.

I've been given a solution that I could make work right away, but because of changes they're making to the website at See, it's not a solution that would work for long.

I've also been given the solution for the changed website, which would mean me only having to change things here once - but I need some clarity from See over some aspects of it before I can properly implement it. I've requested those details from See, but might not get them until tomorrow ... so I'm going to wait until I have them before I change anything, so I don't haven to change things twice.

these have now been fixed, and all the links are now going to the right page on the See Tickets website.

Just tried getting tixs for Metric with site links but it came up as "We're sorry, but we couldn't find the event you were looking for" on Seetickets and I chucked a couple of other random links (Breed 77 & Big D & The Kids Table) and they are also not working.

thanks.

The Breed one looks as tho it's something that's gone off sale (tho might have been wrong all the same for when it was on sale), but having looked at the Metric ones it appears that See have changed the format for their links.

I'll look into this further and get it fixed as soon as I've time to do so.

[eFestivals]

Hmmm ... it's not that See have changed their link format, it's that's that my programme isn't formatting the links properly. I'm sure it did do when it was first put in place, so now I need to find out why it's stopped doing what it should be doing.

[eFestivals]

right, I'm pleased to say that the links for gigs from a band's profile page should now be correct & working (as long as that gig is still on sale of course).

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
