FAQ

Is this affiliated with TickPick? No. This is an independent third-party actor that reads TickPick's own publicly published event data (the same structured data TickPick publishes for search engines).

Why does TickPick advertise "no fees"? TickPick builds its buyer fee into the listed price instead of adding it at checkout — the lowPrice/highPrice fields already reflect the final price you'd pay.

Why are some events missing pricing? A small number of listings (informational/experience listings, sold-out shows) don't carry an offers block on TickPick's page; those fields are simply omitted rather than shown as zero or null.

Can I look up a performer without knowing its category? Not directly — TickPick nests performer pages under a league/category prefix (e.g. /mlb/boston-red-sox-tickets/). Use mode=byCategory first to discover the exact performerSlugs for a given category.

Why does mode=byCategory return 0 performers for some categories? byCategory discovers performers from TickPick's own site-wide navigation menu, which only features a subset of categories (major sports leagues, concerts, comedy, theater, golf, racing, MMA, and similar high-traffic categories). Niche categories (e.g. opera, ballet, circus) aren't listed in that navigation, so discovery returns 0 for them — the category page itself still exists on TickPick, it's just not crawlable this way. If you already know a performer's slug for a niche category, mode=byPerformer will still work directly.

How fresh is the pricing? Every run fetches TickPick's live pages directly, so prices reflect the current live market at scrape time.

Does this cover international events? Yes for the cities TickPick itself covers (including London, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton in addition to major US markets).
