Great idea! Why didn't I think of this?!? I'll get this added. :-D

So sorry for getting the wrong link. I blame my AI Agent! I've just updated this.

Good luck with the conference. If you do have any spare tickets, I'd love to run a quick giveaway. ;-)

The current ticket giveaways are all listed here... https://www.tech.tickets/?view=offers.

For the events that get a lot of interest, I approach the organisers for discount codes and to see if they will donate tickets.

Well spotted! This was an error with the scraper. I've fixed this now. :-)

Good question! I went this route as it prevents the default navigation behaviour for the event row (which has click handling on the parent element to navigate to an event page and this span overrides that behavior locally).

Thanks. The data is currently populated by scraping a bunch of sites and APIs. I added the manual 'add form' just in case my scraper missed some events.
