How to Install the Sticky Tickets Ticket Widget on Your Website

Let visitors buy tickets from your own website — choose a simple button or a fully embedded ticket selector

You can promote and sell tickets directly from your own website using two different tools, both found on your event's Promote/Marketing page: a simple Direct Link button, or the more advanced Ticketing Widget.

Option 1: Direct Link to your event page (easy)

This adds a customisable "Buy Tickets" button to your site that links straight to your Sticky Tickets event page.

  1. Log in to your event and go to Promote/Marketing.
  2. Under Widgets for your website, select the Direct Link to Your Event Page tab.
  3. Customise your button:
    • Label – the button text (defaults to "Buy Tickets")
    • Style – button style
    • Size – button size
    • Colour – button colour
  4. Copy the code shown under Place this code on your site and paste it into your webpage where you want the button to appear.

This code is plain HTML (a link and an image) with no script tag required — so it works even on website builders that don't allow scripts, such as wordpress.com.

Option 2: Ticketing Widget (Advanced)

This embeds a full ticket selector directly on your page, showing your event's sessions and ticket types. Visitors choose their tickets on your site, then are redirected to Sticky Tickets to securely complete their personal and payment details. Once payment is complete, they're automatically returned to your site with a summary of their purchase.

Tip: For a seamless look, match your Sticky Tickets event page styling to the page where you're adding the widget using the Custom Page Design feature.

How to set it up

  1. Log in to your event and go to Promote/Marketing.
  2. Under Widgets for your website, select the Ticketing Widget (Advanced) tab.
  3. Add the code in three parts:
    • 1 – Event specific code for your page: place this where you want the widget to appear.
    • 2 – Widget script (once per page): this only needs to be added once per page, even if you're displaying multiple event widgets. We recommend placing it near the end of your page, just inside the closing </body> tag.
    • 3 – Successful Order Return URL (optional): enter the full URL of the page you want visitors returned to after a successful order, then select Save. The widget must also be placed on this return page for the receipt to display.
  4. Use the Widget Preview section on the same page to see how it will look before publishing.

Most common scenarios and questions

Which option should I use — Direct Link or the Advanced Widget?

  • Use Direct Link if you just want a simple "Buy Tickets" button. Use the Advanced Widget if you want visitors to select tickets directly on your page before being redirected to complete payment.

Can I use the Advanced Widget on a WordPress.com site?

  • No — wordpress.com doesn't support scripts or iframes, which the Advanced Widget requires. Use the Direct Link button instead, or self-host your own WordPress site if you need the Advanced Widget.

Does the widget script need to be added more than once if I have multiple events?

  • No — one widget script tag can run multiple event widgets on the same page.
