Scrape Ticketmaster events
Search Ticketmaster for events and extract names, dates, venues, and price ranges from the results.
Prerequisites
- A Browserless API token from your account dashboard
Steps
Ticketmaster renders its search results with JavaScript and uses bot-detection measures. A standard headless browser gets blocked or served incomplete data. The examples below search for concerts and route through stealth mode with a residential proxy.
Selector stability
Ticketmaster updates its markup frequently. If selectors stop returning results, inspect the live page with browser DevTools to find the current element names.
- AI Agent
- REST API
- Frameworks
- BQL
Use the Browserless MCP server to scrape event listings from Ticketmaster from any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, etc.).
1. Connect the MCP server
Send this prompt to your AI agent to install the Browserless MCP server:
Go to https://github.com/browserless/browserless-mcp/blob/main/install.md
and follow the instructions to install the Browserless MCP server
for my client.
2. Scrape Ticketmaster
Use browserless_smartscraper. It handles Ticketmaster's dynamic content and bot protection automatically.
Use the browserless_smartscraper tool to scrape event listings
from https://www.ticketmaster.com/search?q=concerts
and return the results as markdown
Send the BQL mutation over HTTP to the stealth endpoint. No browser library or BQL IDE required.
- cURL

- Python

1. Write the mutation
Navigate to Ticketmaster's search results, wait for event cards to render, then extract event details. We use /stealth/bql because Ticketmaster's bot detection blocks standard headless browsers.
mutation ScrapeTicketmaster {
goto(url: "https://www.ticketmaster.com/search?q=concerts", waitUntil: networkIdle) {
status
}
waitForSelector(selector: "[data-testid=search-event-card]", timeout: 15000) {
time
}
events: mapSelector(selector: "[data-testid=search-event-card]") {
name: mapSelector(selector: "[data-testid=event-name]") { innerText }
date: mapSelector(selector: "[data-testid=event-date]") { innerText }
venue: mapSelector(selector: "[data-testid=event-venue]") { innerText }
price: mapSelector(selector: "[data-testid=event-price]") { innerText }
link: mapSelector(selector: "a") {
href: attribute(name: "href") { value }
}
}
}
2. Run it
Paste into the BQL IDE and click Run.
3. Check the output
