Ticketmaster Events & Tickets Scraper

Ticketmaster Events & Tickets Scraper

Scrape Ticketmaster events from any search, category, venue, or direct URL, up to a million per run. Each event returns its date, venue, price range, ticket availability, and full details when you enable deep scraping. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Ticketmaster's official API requires a developer account, approval, and strict rate limits. This Actor reads the public event listings directly, filtered by artist, city, date range, or category, and returns each match in one consistent schema. It handles the pagination and proxy rotation so you get clean, structured data without building a custom scraper.

Who uses it	What they scrape Ticketmaster for
Event promoters	Monitor competing events in their city and date range to price tickets competitively.
Market researchers	Track which artists and event types are touring which regions and how fast they sell.
Ticket resellers	Spot underpriced tickets and high-demand events before they sell out.
Data journalists	Analyze ticket pricing trends, venue utilization, and event saturation by market.

What it does

This Actor collects Ticketmaster events by search query, category, location, date range, or direct URL, and returns each one as a flat row with event name, date, venue, price range, and ticket status.

• 🔍 Search by keyword: feed an artist name, team, or event and get every matching listing.
• 📅 Date range filter: narrow results to a specific window with dateFrom and dateTo.
• 📍 Location filters: restrict by city, state code, or country code to target one market.
• 🏷️ Category filter: limit to concerts, sports, arts-theater, or family events.
• 🔗 Direct URLs: drop in event pages, search results, category pages, or venue pages and scrape them exactly.
• 📋 Deep detail scraping: enable includeDetails to fetch each event's full description, pricing breakdown, and extra images.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

  "searchQuery": "new york"
}

A larger pull:

{
  "maxItems": 200,

}

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results from my search?

Check that your searchQuery is spelled correctly and that you are not combining startUrls with search filters. These two input methods are mutually exclusive. Also verify your date range and location filters are not too restrictive.

Why does includeDetails make the run so slow?

Enabling includeDetails means the Actor visits each event's detail page individually, which multiplies the number of requests. Use a higher maxItems cautiously and ensure you have working proxies configured.

Why am I getting blocked or seeing captchas?

Ticketmaster may throttle or block requests if you scrape too aggressively. Use Apify proxy with rotating IPs, reduce your maxItems, or add a delay between requests if you are using a custom solution.

Why are some events missing price information?

Ticketmaster does not always show prices on search result pages. Enable includeDetails to fetch the full event page, which usually contains the price range and ticket breakdown.

Why do I get fewer results than expected for a city search?

Try broadening your search. Remove the date range or category filter, or use a shorter searchQuery. Some cities return more events when searched without a state code.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Can I scrape events by artist name?	Yes. Use the searchQuery field with the artist or team name, and the Actor returns all matching events across all dates and venues.
Does this work for Ticketmaster sites outside the US?	Yes. Use the country code filter (e.g., GB, CA, AU) to target a specific Ticketmaster country site. The Actor adapts to the local domain.
What does includeDetails add to the output?	When enabled, the Actor visits each event's detail page and extracts the full description, detailed pricing information, additional images, and any other data not shown on the search listing.
How many events can I scrape in one run?	You set the maxItems limit, up to 1,000,000 events per run. The Actor handles pagination automatically until it reaches your limit or runs out of results.
Can I scrape a specific venue's events?	Yes. Paste the venue's Ticketmaster URL into startUrls, or search by venue name in the searchQuery field.
Do I need proxies?	Basic search scraping works without proxies. If you enable includeDetails to fetch full event pages, you will need working proxies to avoid blocks on the higher request volume.
What format is the data exported in?	The Actor outputs structured data you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from your Apify dataset.
Can I filter by event category?	Yes. Use the category field with values like concerts, sports, arts-theater, or family to narrow results to one type of event.
How do I search for events in a specific city?	Fill in the city field with the city name, and optionally add the state code for more precision. The Actor applies these as location filters on Ticketmaster's search.
Does this Actor handle sold-out events?	Yes. The Actor returns all events that appear in search results, including those marked as sold out or with low ticket availability.
