Performance

Run size	Approx. time
100 events	under 1 minute
1,000 events	3–6 minutes
10,000 events	30–50 minutes

Enabling fetchDetails adds time, since each event requires an extra request.

Known limitations

• Covers Ticketmaster's primary platform (17 markets listed above). The UK, Germany, and Ireland sites run a separate legacy platform and are not currently supported.
• Ticketmaster caps search results at 10,000 per query. Use narrower searches or category browsing to reach events beyond that cap.
• Ticket prices are not returned. Ticketmaster gates live pricing behind a separate protected availability system; this scraper returns event, venue, artist, and classification data.

---

Technical details

• Source: Ticketmaster — live event, venue, and ticketing data across 17 country markets.

• Retry: Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, multiple attempts per request.

Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.
