The ticketing company has launched its first online affiliate network in the U.S., unveiling its EventEngine widget that allows websites to link with ticketmaster.com. Consumers and organizations register to become affiliates of Ticketmaster, which provides the widget.

Sean Moriarty, president and CEO of Ticketmaster, said the company will be expanding the number of tools and functionality in the system before rolling it out globally.

The Ticketmaster affiliate program and EventEngine widget were developed in association with buy at, an international affiliate network. The company will provide Ticketmaster with affiliate support, tracking, reporting and payment services.
