title: How do I properly format these rich snippets?
body: <p>So, I have the code below which works fine when entered into <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets" rel="nofollow">Google's Rich Snippet Testing Tool</a>. The problem is that I don't need the <code>Venue Name</code> linked to any url. However, when I take out the <code>a</code> tag and simplify that line to just <code>&lt;span itemprop="name"&gt;Venue Name&lt;/span&gt;</code>, the test tool tells me that the page doesn't contain any rich snippet markup. Furthermore, it gives off a warning like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Warning: Event urls are pointing to a different domain than the base url.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to not have the name of the venue linked to anything?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I just want the result to look like this (with only the 'buy tickets' part linked):</p>
  
  <p>Feb 2 — Phoenix, AZ - Crescent Ballroom - <a href="http://linktotickets.com" rel="nofollow">Buy tickets</a></p>
  
  <p>I have uploaded the html file that I am testing with and entering into the test tool <a href="http://keebs.com/blah.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
