Some Basic Terminology
The Ticket Evolution API includes Performers, Venues, Configurations, Events, and Ticket Groups.
Performers
Performers are an entity who will be playing/competing/performing at the Event. A performer could be a
- Band (Guns ‘N’ Roses)
- Team (New Orleans Saints)
- Individual musician (Billy Joel)
- Speaker (Dave Ramsey)
- Comedian (Amy Schumer)
- Annual Event (Kentucky Derby)
- Play/Musical/Theatrical Performance (Hamilton)
Venues
Venues are the specific locations where an event/game/performance takes place. Some examples:
- Madison Square Garden
- Fenway Park
- Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Configurations
Venues have one or more configurations which is a layout or stage setup for particular events such as sports, concerts, or even specific concert tours where the stage is a custom layout. Each configuration will include a static seating chart.
Events
Events are the individual performances/competitions for which you are buying/selling tickets. Every event includes at least one Performer (but may have many) at a single Venue at a specific time (the {{occurs_at}} property). When an event is a game the “home team” Performer will be marked as primary and the “away team” will not. When an event is a concert with multiple bands/musicians the “headliner” will be marked as primary and any “opening bands” will not.
Some events may include a performer that is also the name of the event. An example of this is the Super Bowl. All year long the Super Bowl event will have a single Performer named Super Bowl, but as the teams that will be playing are decided they will be added to the event resulting in having three Performers attached to the event: Atlanta Falcons (primary since they were designated as the “home team”), New England Patriots, and Super Bowl.
Ticket Groups
Ticket Groups are collections of adjacent seats owned by the same supplier and could there be a single ticket or dozens of tickets within that ticket group. The cost of each ticket within the ticket group is the same and all seats purchased from the ticket group will be adjacent.

Listing Events Near Your Visitors
Many sites include a list of upcoming events near the visitor based on geolocation of the visitor’s IP address. The Events / Index endpoint accepts several different options for location but the recommended one is to send lat and lon of the visitor along with a within radius for the venues.

Comprehensive Search
Every site should have a comprehensive search available on most every page including possibly making it the main feature of the homepage. Once a visitor is has selected an event for which to view tickets and throughout the purchase process it probably makes sense to not show the search and instead use that space for useful elements.
It is suggested that this main search performs a search across Performers, Venues, and Events.
Comprehensive Search can be done via two different endpoints and you should experiment with both and decide which you prefer based on the experience you choose to present to the user.
/searches/suggestions
The /searches/suggestion endpoint was created to be used in an auto-suggest type of selector.

Performer Landing Page
Each performer should have their own “landing page” which includes information about that performer and shows any upcoming Events for that performer. Because the Ticket Evolution catalog includes over 45000 Performers, these pages are dynamically created and usually use the slug property of the Performer to create the URL. In the case of the Arizona Diamondbacks the slug is arizona-diamondbacks and your URL might look something like www.myawesometicketsite.com/arizona-diamondbacks-tickets
To generate such a page you should retrieve the Performer slug from the URL, which in the example of www.myawesometicketsite.com/arizona-diamondbacks-tickets would be arizona-diamondbacks. Then two API requests are made, the first one being Performers / Show in order to retrieve information about the performer.

Venue Landing Page
Many sites also choose to build a landing page for each venue (there are over 13,000 venues available via our API).
These pages are generated very similarly to the Performer Landing Pages using the Venue slug from the URL, which in the example of www.myawesometicketsite.com/venues/chase-field-tickets would be chase-field. Then two API requests are made, the first one being Venues / Show in order to retrieve information about the performer.

Event Landing Page
The Event page is where the consumer will select the tickets they wish to purchase. It generally includes a listing of all the available Ticket Groups as well as a seating chart image. Static seating chart images are included with API access and can be retrieved using URLs supplied in the response from the Events / Show endpoint which should be used first to retrieve the information regarding the Event including the Venue at which it occurs, the time (occurs_at), and the Performers which are scheduled to be at the Event.

After making the Events / Show API request use the Ticket Groups / Index endpoint to display all the available Ticket Groups. You should always use lightweight=true with the /ticket_groups endpoint.
If you wish to display a static seating chart for the event you can find URLs for medium and large images under venue->configurations→seating_chart (e.g.:

PHYSICAL | FedEx ( | The traditional paper or “hard” ticket that has existed for dozens of years. Physical tickets usually include a barcode that must be scanned in order to gain entry to the event. |
LOCAL_PICKUP | Physical tickets are generally shipped via FedEx, but in some cases may need to be picked up by the consumer at the venue’s Will Call or a location near the venue. The seller will provide the exact location after the order is accepted. | |
|
| These tickets are generally PDF files that the consumer will download and print out to take to the event and generally include a barcode that must be scanned in order to gain entry to the event. |
TM_MOBILE_ENTRY |
| Mobile Entry is rapidly becoming the most prolific way tickets are distributed. The tickets purchased will be transferred to the consumer's email address. The consumer must then accept the transfer and then be prepared to show the tickets on their mobile device in order to gain entry to the event. Learn more from Ticketmaster. |
| Sometimes the seller will provide a PDF of the mobile entry ticket images. These must be displayed on a mobile phone so the barcodes can be scanned for entry. The venue will not allow entry if these are printed on paper. | |
FLASH_SEATS |
| Flash Seats is very similar to TM Mobile Entry. Learn more from Flash Seats. |
