      This could be added as its own relationship, or we could allow a more generic tickets purchasing relationship.

          hey! there seems to be an issue with the cleanup for links with an underscore. for example, https://www.livenation.com/event/1A_Zkv-Gketafdb/ cleans up to https://www.livenation.com/event/1A, which just leads to an error page. because of this, i can't add the actual link to this event.

          We now have a ticketing relationship we can use here.

          Ticket purchase links are almost always removed after the event in question takes place, so it might not be wise for us to link them to Events. More static pages (such as those for Artists and Places) might still be doable though.

          On closer view, this has different versions per country, closer to iTunes than an external database. Linking to it is probably still desirable but we need to decide how.

          I wasn't too sure about linking to a specific company as otherdbs, but they do seem to have a ton of old concert data too so I guess it fits reasonably fine. Let's get it in.
