MYSQL Select based on date, then join

I have two tables, one table has a list events with various details of an event. I have a second table with tickets and specific ticket information (seat number, section number, price, etc) that link to the event.

Obviously an event may have several tickets.

What I would like to do is JOIN the events table with the tickets table BY the events_id (the primary key of the events table and there is a column in the tickets table for events_id). But I need to take it one step further. Currently I can do this to join the events and the tickets.

SELECT * FROM events e INNER JOIN tickets t ON e.id = t.events_id;

This works. But I need to take it one step further. I don't want to join all of the events. I only want the events for today and then join those events.

I have been able to successfully get todays events (without joining) with this:

SELECT * FROM events WHERE `date` = CURDATE();

But I want to be able to combine these two queries into one query. I want to first grab all of today's events, and then I want to JOIN the tickets table to todays events based on the events_id foreign key.

I have tried and tried, many different things without any success. This can not be the first time someone has needed to do something like this. All help is appreciated.

This is how you can do 

SELECT * FROM events e 
INNER JOIN tickets t ON e.id = t.events_id
where e.`date` = CURDATE();
