## Pricing

from $3.69 / 1,000 event results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Examples

**Search an artist in the US**

```json
{ "searchQuery": "coldplay", "market": "us", "maxResults": 100 }
```

**Browse all concerts in the Netherlands**

```json
{ "classification": "music", "market": "nl", "maxResults": 200 }
```

**Search with full details, primary events only**

```json
{ "searchQuery": "lakers", "market": "us", "fetchDetails": true, "excludeResale": true, "maxResults": 50 }
```

**Scrape specific search URLs**

```json
{ "startUrls": ["https://www.ticketmaster.es/search?q=rosalia"], "maxResults": 100 }
```

***

### 💰 Pricing

**$3.99 per 1,000 results** — you only pay for successfully retrieved events. Failed retries are never charged.

| Results | Cost |
|---|---|
| 100 | ~$0.40 |
| 1,000 | ~$3.99 |
| 10,000 | ~$39.90 |
| 100,000 | ~$399.00 |

> Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Use the **Max results** cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

***

### 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.
- **Memory:** 512 MB
- **Retry:** Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, multiple attempts per request.

Keyword(s) to search for — artist, team, event, or venue name (e.g. "coldplay").

## `market` (type: `string`):

Ticketmaster country site to search. Ignored when startUrls are provided.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of events to return.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional list of specific Ticketmaster search or category URLs to scrape. Overrides market and searchQuery.
