Re: Embedded Calendar not showing event popups anymore
I can chime in here...

We have always let people (manually) add links to an event's title.
However, in cases where the entire title was a link, visitors would both be redirected to the link target, *and* get an empty event pop-up, which is not desired behavior.

So we recently changed that so that any event with a link in the title would not generate the pop-up. We assumed this would address the issue above, and that no members were using links in only part of their titles (but we were wrong as your "buy tickets" example shows)

We're not 100% comfortable with the usability of how your "Buy Tickets" events work since it's not clear you can click in 2 places in the title and get different results (either a pop-up or the Buy Tickets link). But at the end of the day, it's your calendar so I think we are going to change this so that only events that have only an HTML link in the title (and nothing else) will have the pop-up disabled.

--Update: Fix deployed per my comments above.
This means you will get both the Event Pop-up and redirected to the Buy Tickets link when a user clicks Buy Tickets, but just the Pop-up if they click elsewhere in the title.

If an event title starts with <a> and ends with </a>, you will not get the description pop-up when the title is clicked (you will just be redirected to the link)
