Ticketmaster Scraper

Pull live events from Ticketmaster at scale — concerts, sports, theater, arts, and family shows — with venue geocoordinates, start dates, on-sale and presale windows, full artist lineups, category, and schedule-change flags, one clean row per event. Search by keyword, browse a category in any city, or paste Ticketmaster URLs straight in. Built for event-discovery platforms, market analysts, and venue and promoter lead teams who need structured, current event data without clicking through Ticketmaster page by page.

Why This Scraper?

• Five event categories in one actor — Music, Sports, Arts & Theatre, Family, and Miscellaneous, switchable from a single dropdown when paired with a city.
• Latitude and longitude on 99% of venues — plus venue name, street address, city, country and postal code on every row, and the Ticketmaster venue page URL wherever the source publishes one (about 4 in 5 events), so events drop straight onto a map.
• Public on-sale date on 99% of events — alongside every announced presale window with its name, start and end time. Presales are dense on tours and sports (roughly 1 in 4 rows on a sports, comedy or wrestling feed) and genuinely rare on long-running theatre residencies.
• Artist and attraction lineups on ~9 in 10 events — each performer's name and Ticketmaster page, plus a headliner portrait image on 100% of rows (venue image as fallback).
• 13 Ticketmaster marketplaces — search the US (default), Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, or Mexico.
• Schedule-change flags on every row — cancelled, postponed and rescheduled are set per event, so a calendar you sync never keeps a date that moved, plus TBA, virtual, sold-out, limited-availability and partner-listing columns.
• Date-window filtering at the source — set an earliest date, a latest date, or both (YYYY-MM-DD), and Ticketmaster narrows the results before you are billed. Works the same on keyword searches, pasted URLs, and city or category browsing.
• Up to 10,000 events per run — set Maximum Results to 0 for unlimited and the actor walks every page until the marketplace is exhausted.
• One row per event, not per time slot — timed-entry attractions and residencies are listed by Ticketmaster once per slot (a Chicago family browse returns 385 listings that are only 299 real events, 87 of them one balloon exhibit). Those are merged into a single row carrying the slot count and the first and last slot dates, so a 100-result run buys you 100 events.
• 37 fields per event, one flat row — event name, ID, URL, timezone, category, session count, partner flag, and an event image, ready for any spreadsheet or database with no nested unpacking.

Getting Started

Search by Keyword

The simplest run — one artist, team, or show name:

{
    "searchTerms": ["Taylor Swift"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Browse a Category in a City

Category browsing works when you pair it with a city:

{
    "category": ["music"],
    "location": "Los Angeles",
    "countryCode": "US",
    "sort": "date",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Filter by Date Window

Restrict results to events in a specific date range:

{
    "searchTerms": ["comedy"],
    "startDateFrom": "2026-07-01",
    "startDateTo": "2026-07-31",
    "sort": "date",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Search a Non-US Marketplace

{
    "category": ["sports"],
    "location": "Toronto",
    "countryCode": "CA",
    "maxResults": 100
}

Paste Ticketmaster URLs

Already built a filtered search on the Ticketmaster website? Paste it in:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.ticketmaster.com/search?q=u2",
        "https://www.ticketmaster.com/discover/concerts/new-york"
    ],
    "maxResults": 200
}

Input Reference

What to Search

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchTerms	string[]	["Taylor Swift"]	Keywords to search — an artist, team, show, or venue. Each term runs as its own search.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste Ticketmaster search or discover URLs directly. Each is scraped exactly as given.

Filters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
category	select[]	[]	Browse one or more categories: Music, Sports, Arts & Theatre, Family, Miscellaneous. Requires a Location. Pick several and the result limit is split evenly between them. Ignored when a search term is used.
location	string	—	City to browse events in (e.g. "Los Angeles"). Required when browsing by Category. Ignored when a search term is used, and the run says so.
countryCode	select	US	Ticketmaster marketplace: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, or Mexico.
startDateFrom	string	—	Only include events happening on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Applies to searches, URLs, and city or category browsing.
startDateTo	string	—	Only include events happening on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Applies to searches, URLs, and city or category browsing.
sort	select	Relevance	Order results by Relevance or Date (soonest first).

Limits

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum events to collect across all searches and URLs. With several searches the limit is split evenly between them, and an unused share rolls over. Set to 0 for unlimited (a 10,000-event safety cap still applies).
includeAllSessions	boolean	false	Off by default: repeat time slots of one event are merged into a single row. Turn it on to get one row per slot instead.

Tips for Best Results

• Category browsing needs a city — keyword search does not — pair Category with a Location or the run skips the category and tells you to add one. A keyword like "Taylor Swift" searches the whole selected country at once, and because the two are separate searches, a Location set alongside a search term is skipped rather than blended in.
• Read availability from onSaleDate, not ticketingStatus — Ticketmaster's public event feed ships ticketingStatus as UNKNOWN on virtually every event, so use the on-sale date (present on 99% of rows) plus the cancelled, postponed and rescheduled flags to tell what is live.
• Multiple categories share one limit — choosing Music and Sports for the same city splits Maximum Results evenly, so both come back populated. Raise the limit rather than expecting each category to get the full amount.
• Set the right marketplace for the city — match countryCode to the city's country (e.g. "London" with UK, not US) so same-named cities resolve correctly.
• Sort by Date for upcoming-event feeds — choose Date (soonest first) so the earliest shows lead your results; Relevance is best for artist and team searches.
• Tighten the date window to control cost — startDateFrom and startDateTo filter at the source, so you only pay for events inside your range.
• Check sessionCount before assuming a one-night show — a value above 1 means the event runs as repeated time slots between startDate and lastSessionDate; switch on "List every time slot separately" if you need each slot as its own row.
• Paste pre-filtered URLs to reuse your work — if you have already built a search on the Ticketmaster website, paste that URL into startUrls and it runs exactly as shown.

Pricing

From $2.00 per 1,000 results — pay only for the events you collect. No compute charges: you are billed per result returned, and Apify's loyalty tiers lower the rate as your subscription tier rises.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.235	$0.225	$0.215	$0.200
1,000	$2.35	$2.25	$2.15	$2.00
10,000	$23.50	$22.50	$21.50	$20.00
100,000	$235.00	$225.00	$215.00	$200.00

Tiered rates take effect on 12 September 2026. Until then every plan pays the current $2.00 per 1,000 results. A "result" is one event row in the output dataset. Platform fees (storage and data transfer) are billed by Apify according to your plan.
