Why do some shows redirect to a partner site?

Shows fall into one of two payment paths.

• Native ShowBravo checkout — seat selection through QR ticketing happens inside ShowBravo (shows under direct partnerships).
• Partner-site redirect (affiliate) — some international shows route to the official partner (e.g. Vienna State Opera's site). Payment runs there and the e-ticket arrives directly from the partner.

Affiliate-routed shows display a 'Buy on partner site' badge on the card; clicks are anonymously aggregated for partner traffic-source reconciliation. ShowBravo, as a marketplace intermediary, provides discovery, price comparison, and refund-flow guidance, but the actual transaction is between you and the partner seller.
