@fjjulien We have completed a first pass at loading all events from TicketPro. There are 592 events from TicketPro across 3 data feeds. However, the times for the events are wrong because the wrong time zone is used. For example: https://tpromaclab.ticketpro.ca/en/pages/Maclab_AJE has the wrong time zone as seen with validator.schema.org.

I propose we open a new WO to address the time zone issue once and for all as a service in Artsdata as we have discussed many times in the past. This is becoming critical. Lets discuss.

@saumier I agree. Here is a new work order dedicated to time zone matter.

As to Ticketpro's specific errors, please have a look at the data and try to detect recurring error patterns and report your findings. I will then notify Ticketpro.

@fjjulien The 3 sources for Ticketpro are loading and look very good apart from the time zone.

This event "Therrien-Go Duo" has a score of 83% Iink to score

There are about 620 events without errors across the 3 regions. Only about 40 events with validation errors mostly because of missing startTime (and most are not really events but rather a gift tickets or passes).

Feedback to improve their JSON-LD:

1. In a few events the schema:Performer has a error because of a missing @type.
   SYLVAIN COSSETTE. I sometimes see @thing which is one of the suggestions you made and is better than having the wrong type. My suggestion is to use @PerformingGroup because a group can be made of 1 person and is still a sub-type of Organization but more clear that the person is performing.
2. In a few events the schema:Location is empty but should be present. https://spectart.com/programmation/back-to-the-80s-band/
3. Many events from Ticketpro are missing JSON-LD completely.
   Example: https://ww3.ticketpro.ca/event.php?event_id=10142
4. If they have internal unique IDs for events, then using it to create an event @id would be helpful
5. If they have internal unique IDs for places, also helpful.
6. Timezones but this is something we plan to fix for them in WO-14
