Live Nation Scraper for Tour Dates, Venues and Festival Data

Inside a Live Nation Event Record: Doors, Billing Order, Upsells and Onsale Windows

The record behind a show page is wider than the card. Field names below are the platform's own.

• When it happens. start_date_local and start_time_local as the room reads them, start_datetime_utc beside it, an IANA timezone, and span_multiple_days for runs that cross midnight. International pages label Doors and Curfew separately, so the gate hour is published rather than guessed.
• Whether it is selling. status_code, sales_start_datetime_utc and sales_end_datetime_utc. presales is an array; each entry has its own start and end datetime, a description such as a two-for-one deal, and is_ln_promoted, the flag marking the promoter's own offer rather than a card or fan club presale.
• House rules in plain text. important_info carries door time, parking lot opening time and rain-or-shine notices. International records add age limits per admission area, different for standing and seated.
• Who is on the bill. The artists array preserves billing order, and the international template splits it into Headliners and Support Artists. Each artist holds three identities at once - discovery_id, tm_id and ln_id - plus slug, genre_id, genre and segment. On a tour list a festival booking replaces the tour name with the festival name.
• What else is sold that night. upsells is a catalogue of separately ticketed extras typed as Premier parking, VIP Club Access, FastLane Access, Lawn Chair Rental, Special Entry or Merchandise Voucher. Each is its own event with its own id and classification_id, which is how one amphitheatre date carries eight sale items and one concert.
• The room. The venue block holds discovery_id, tm_id, name, slug, is_livenation_owned, a type from a short list - amphitheater, houseofblues, club, other - a location with street address, locality, region, postal code and coordinates, and market_ids as an array, so one venue can sit in several sales markets.
• Flags and assets. source separates events sold through ticketmaster from those marked other, plus disable_transfer, voucher_redeem_status, created_on, a seatmap_image built as a flat picture from the ticketing id, and images in named ratios.

One field is absent on purpose across both stacks: no price, no fee, no seat count.

Country Storefronts, Joint-Venture Brands and Festival Pages That Refuse to Match

One brand, thirty-one shop windows. The market selector currently offers thirty country entries alongside USA and Canada (September 2026), and several do not carry the Live Nation name. The Emirates and Qatar addresses land on livenation.me, South Africa on bigconcerts.co.za, Japan on livenationhip.co.jp, Thailand on livenationtero.co.th, because the local promoter is a joint venture with its own brand. Borders follow the business: the German storefront covers Germany, Austria and Switzerland, carries an /en/ locale and splits an artist's dates into home-territory and International tabs whose rows point back at livenation.com ids.

The taxonomies disagree. The North American genre browse runs to twenty labels including Hip-Hop/Rap, Dance/Electronic, Blues and Ballads/Romantic; the international template ships ten, with Afrobeats and Sport among them and no metal at all. Images come from separate content networks and the two robots files close different paths.

Festivals are their own animal. A festival page owns a multi-day span, one child event per day, a lineup filtered by day and stage, and a map view. Names carry the sponsor inside them, so the string moves year to year and only the page id stays put.

Sale routing is the real story. One London show can list two general onsale rows leading to rival ticketing companies, because the room sets the contract; big American festivals route to Front Gate Tickets instead. Add the announcement posts - per-city presale ladders, ticket limits, transfer holds - and the rulebook is public text.
