* such as SiteA.com and SiteZ.com so we don't link to Eventbrite.com
*
* Hash:
* #buy-tickets If Site A uses Event Tickets Plus (ET+) - WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads.
* #rsvp-now If Site A uses RSVP.
* #tpp-buy-tickets If Site A uses Tribe PayPal Tickets.
*
* If Site A uses more than one of these ticket types, just drop the hash or leave it there (will work the same).
