Are there any plans to add social media log in functionality such as Facebook Connect?
I’d love to hear about what you both have!

Michele,
Would you mind contacting me directly here at Center Theatre Group. I am currently experimenting with some new ideas around Facebook. I would really appreciate the opportunity to talk to you more about this.
Thanks,

Hi Gloria,
We here at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival are currently using Facebook Connect and used it this season to allow our Facebook Fans an opportunity to purchase tickets prior to our general public on sale day.
I know that what we did created an attribute on the constituent file to say that the constituent is a Facebook Friend, but can find out more info from our web developers if needed.

Our Facebook connect implementation was quite simple, we just used the login button and the JavaScript SDK provided by Facebook. The setup is pretty simple but once you are all setup just add in the needed permission to the login button and you can query anything you want about that patron.
In our situation the only information we needed was if they are a fan or “like” our Facebook page. After a successful login we update the attribute on file and set a session variable which allows them the opportunity to purchase tickets prior to our general public on sale day. However any information that is available on Facebook could be returned and used by your organization. I will provide some links below that I found very helpful.
