What is RSS?
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up with your favorite news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries and links to upcoming events on Ticket Solutions Web site. If you click an RSS link, you will see XML (or eXtensible Markup Language) code in your browser. This is to be expected, since you do not view RSS content through a browser. You view the headlines through an RSS news reader (also called an RSS aggregator). Our main RSS page provides links to our feeds.
What are RSS Readers?
RSS news readers are small software programs that aggregate RSS feeds and display the story information. They allow you to scan headlines from hundreds of sources in a central location.
Where Do I Get an RSS Reader?
A wide range of RSS readers can be easily downloaded from the Web. Some readers are Web-based while others require you to download a small software program onto your desktop. Most are free to use. (Several readers require Microsoft's .NET framework on your computer. They may be slightly more complicated to install if you do not have .NET.)
Google and Yahoo! both offer comprehensive lists of RSS readers. A few sample readers are also offered below for the purpose of evaluation:
How Do I Use These Feeds?
The first step, as described above, is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed (also called a "channel"). In most cases, here's how it works:
1. Click on the small XML button near the channel you want (Chicago Events, for example). You'll see a page displaying XML code.
2. From your browser, copy the URL that appears in your Address Bar. For example, the URL you would copy for Chicago Events is:
http://www.tickets4u.com/rss/rss-chicago.asp
3. Paste that URL into the 'Add New Channel' section of the reader. You should be all set! The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.
Where Can I Learn More about RSS?
There are a range of articles about RSS available online. The Lockergnome Web site offers a beginner's tutorial; extended RSS resources are available from Radio Userland.
Where Can I Get Help with a Feed?
Please contact a Ticket Solutions representative with questions about the content or use of the feed. You may also email webmaster@tickets4u.com for more information.
Where Can I Get Help with an Individual Reader?
Ticket Solutions does not support individual readers, nor do we provide technical assistance. Please check the Web site for your reader or contact the reader's customer service department if you need help.
