Description
This plugin takes the content you’ve written about artists, concerts, festivals, sports teams, and theater performances, and finds upcoming events (concerts, festivals, sports, theater, shows, musical performances) happening near your reader using Rukkus’s live entertainment search engine. Rukkus pulls tickets and shows from the web’s largest ticket sites, giving Rukkus a comprehensive inventory of concert listings, sporting events, and theater performances. Relevant events are listed at the bottom of your article. If no performances are found, nothing gets listed.
The plugin sends your article text to our tagging server, which analyzes the text for the presence of our 80,000 performers using modern machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques. We then use our live entertainment search engine’s database of live events to look for upcoming performances by these performers near your reader.
This plugin is powered by https://rukkus.com, a live entertainment search engine for concerts, sports, and theater tickets.
You can see the plugin in action on the posts on http://blog.rukkus.com inside all of our articles. Note that whether you see upcoming events listings will depend on your geographic location and the performers mentioned in the article.

Your text is analyzed by our servers, which take our database of over 80,000 performers and hundreds of thousands of events happening throughout the world and try to tag these performers. We take privacy very seriously, and we do not store any information about your visitors or your content.
