Want to keep Efestivals alive and online? Might wither and die otherwise.

Right.,

Efests obviously costs a fair bit to run. Some people get Gold Membership which costs 18 quid a year and means you don't get the ads. You could do this. Alternatively you could donate something which won't get you Gold Membership but will get you a nice warm glow inside, knowing you are keeping Efests alive.

Mr Efests, for whatever reason has decided to hide his DONATE button in the middle of nowhere, behind a bush. After a little bit of help (couldn't find it on my own) I have managed to locate the button. It is here, at the bottom of the page.

Why not bung a quid in? Takes a few seconds. You do have the option for it to be more than a quid

Please don't turn this thread into an argument as it is not here for that,and as it isn't a sticky maybe bump it occasionally.

Is the correct URL, but the link above is broken for some reason, it is showing as

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/shop%C2%A0

You can also get there by following the e festival Merchandise link under the Shop menu at the top of the homepage.

[Samhodson95]

I know it's not much but I put 1.00 in each month... Nothing for the amount he does but I'm sure if everyone did this..

[BerkshireMoose]

found it ! done it ! risking wrath now, but....

I donate a small amount to Wikipedia ever month, automatically. It eases my conscience as I'm on it daily looking up bands, discographies, band histories etc...

Is there a way of making PayPal pay a website automatically every month ? I think with Wikipedia your "allowing" them to take the money from PayPal rather than PayPal sending it to the site.

I'm 100% definitely not aiming this question at Neil to be very clear (waaay too scared!) I just wondered if anyone knew if it was possible to set up a regular payment from PayPal to a website like E-Festivals ?

If I have to remember to do it manually, i'll only forget !

Yeah, I know, say what you will - I'm looking for a "set and forget" option to balance out my karma in lieu of a gold membership.

Maybe karma balancing requires more effort than that, but hey, what can you do ?!

Spread your karma over 12 monthly instalments ?

Nice idea.

Can anyone help with what would be needed for a repeat PayPal payment?

[eFestivals]

I appreciate what you're suggesting James, but I don't want this. If I did, I'd do it myself. This website works as long as people don't take the piss.

This website earns an average of about 0.01p from each visitor it has during a year.

If you buy a ticket via our links, you earn this website at least 1,000 times that amount, and perhaps as much as 10,000 times that amount.

All you need to do is actively support this site when you're buying what you'd buy anyway. You don't need to put your hands in your pockets for anything else.

[mungo57]

So if I buy tickets from ticketmaster or see through a link in this site, that means you get commission? If so I will definitely do this from now on for all tickets I buy!

yep - exactly that.

The amount efests gets is dependent on which ticket at what price from which agent (and there's some links we get nothing from), but as a general rule it earns efestivals some wonga.

[eFestivals]

Does the same work with the link to Amazon? If so, I'll use that from now on.

yep.

Just a question though - the majority of the links to the ticket sites have efestivals as an affiliate but there doesn't seem to be one for the Ticketline link? I might be missing something but I can't see it in the URL - only mention it because I tend to use this site the most for gig tickets.

Ticketline have a different technical way of recording transactions made via here, but we still earn via them (tho not so much).

From the point of view of what works best for efests, See Tickets, Eventim (you'll see many more of these in the near future), and Ticketmaster are the ones i'd prefer you bought from first if that's an option.

[rumpola]

Sorry Neil, don't really need to buy anything at the moment so have just donated a couple of quid as a quick thanks for the hard work and service you provide us all.

Also, when I do need something I will certainly use your links.

If I copy the URL when I click on the link and save that in my faves or toolbar will it still work as a referrel or do you need to click via this site everytime?

it depends on a number of different factors.

The only sure way is to come via here.
