## Concert pages

Each concert has a stable URL `https://concert-compass.ch/concerts/{id}` and schema.org MusicEvent JSON-LD with name, German and English titles, startDate, place, performers and offers when a price is known. A listing is not a ticket. Booking stays on the organiser page linked from the concert.

## Search

Text search is `https://concert-compass.ch/?q={query}`. Instrument, style, price and area filters are URL parameters too. Canonical URLs omit those filters so the calendar is one page.
