Cheapest Ticketmaster Scraper - Discovery, Live Prices/Seats, Seat Maps

⚠️ Live pricing & seat maps (event mode) only work with a RESIDENTIAL proxy. To read live prices, seats and auditorium maps you must set the proxy to RESIDENTIAL (Apify Proxy → Residential, or your own residential proxy). The discovery modes (search, venue, artist, discover) run on the default proxy. Blocked live-pricing / seat-map runs are never charged.

Scrape Ticketmaster events, venues and artists — plus live ticket prices, real seat availability and full auditorium seat maps — at the lowest price per result on the Apify Store. Pay per result, no start fee, no subscription.

• 🔎 Search events by keyword (artist, team, show)
• 🏟️ Venue & 🎤 Artist upcoming-event listings
• 🌆 Discover everything happening in a city
• 💵 Live prices + seats — the actual price range and available seats for an event (no other Store actor does this)
• 🗺️ Seat maps — the full auditorium map: every section as a polygon, availability joined in, optional per-seat coordinates
• 🩺 Self-test mode for uptime monitoring
• 💸 $0.0005 / event for discovery — the cheapest effective price on the Store — and $0 start fee

What you get

Discovery modes (search, venue, artist, discover)

Fast and cheap. Each event row includes:

eventId, title, url, startDate, onsaleDate, dateDisplay, timeZone, soldOut, limitedAvailability, ticketingStatus, cancelled / postponed / rescheduled / tba / virtual, category, imageUrl, a nested venue (name, city, state, country, address, postal code, latitude, longitude) and artists[]. Venue/artist/discover rows also carry a source object identifying the venue, artist or city they came from.

Live pricing mode (event)

Reads the live data each event's own page loads:

currency, priceMin, priceMax, soldOut, totalAvailable, priceLevels[] (per price level: sections, areas, price range, count) and availableSeats[] (concrete section / row / seats sampled from the map).

Every other Store competitor stops at discovery. This actor returns the live pricing data. Requires a residential proxy.

Seat map (event mode, opt-in via includeSeatMap)

Set includeSeatMap: true and each event row also gets a seatMap object — the venue's auditorium map:

venueConfigId, totalPlaces, canvas (map width/height), mapImageUrl (the seating-chart image), sectionCount, totalAvailable, and sections[]. Each section carries name, category, totalPlaces, live available count + seating + inventoryTypes (joined from real availability), and its polygon geometry (bounds, path). Set seatLevel: true to also get every individual seats[] entry (row, label, x/y coordinates) inside each section — great for building your own interactive map, but large for big arenas.

Billed as a separate seat-map charge per event, on top of live-pricing.

Proxy

Discovery modes (search, venue, artist, discover) run on the default Apify proxy — lowest cost, no residential needed.

Live pricing (event) requires a residential proxy — set proxyConfiguration to RESIDENTIAL (or supply your own). If an event still can't be reached, the actor records a clear note and does not charge you for it.

Pricing

$0.0005 per discovery event, $0.04 per live-priced event, $0.02 per seat map, $0 start fee. The cheapest effective Ticketmaster discovery scraper on the Store, and the only one that returns live prices, seats and auditorium maps. Blocked live-pricing / seat-map runs are never charged. Full comparison in ./PRICING.md.
