Viagogo Events Search Scraper: Extract Event Listings & Ticket Data

What Is Viagogo?

Viagogo is a global online ticketing marketplace where millions of users buy and sell tickets to concerts, sports events, theater shows, and live entertainment. With thousands of events listed daily across multiple genres and regions, manually collecting and analyzing this event data is impractical at scale. The Viagogo Events Search Scraper automates extraction of search results, delivering structured event intelligence in seconds.

Overview

The Viagogo Events Search Scraper extracts event listings from Viagogo search pages, capturing 33+ data fields per event including dates, venues, availability status, and pricing indicators. It is ideal for:

• Ticket aggregators building comprehensive event databases
• Event analysts tracking market trends and ticket availability
• Researchers studying live entertainment demand patterns
• Developers powering event discovery applications
• Business intelligence teams monitoring competitor listings

The scraper handles pagination automatically, respects rate limits with built-in failure tolerance, and outputs clean, structured JSON ready for analysis or integration.

Input Format

The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object specifying which search pages to scrape:

{
"urls":[
"https://www.viagogo.com/Concert-Tickets/Pop-Rock/Pop?restPage=2"
],
"ignore_url_failures":true,
"max_items_per_url":200
}

Example URLs:

• Genre/category: https://www.viagogo.com/Concert-Tickets/Pop-Rock/Pop
• Location-filtered: https://www.viagogo.com/Concert-Tickets/New-York (paginated with ?restPage=2)
• Sport events: https://www.viagogo.com/Sports-Tickets/Football

Tip: Use pagination parameters (?restPage=N) to split large result sets across multiple URLs for faster processing.

How to Use

1. Identify search pages — Browse Viagogo.com and find search result pages matching your criteria (genre, location, artist, sport). Copy the full URLs including pagination parameters.

2. Configure the scraper — Paste URLs into the urls array. Example:

{
"urls":[
"https://www.viagogo.com/Concert-Tickets/Pop-Rock/Pop?restPage=1",
"https://www.viagogo.com/Concert-Tickets/Pop-Rock/Pop?restPage=2"
],
"max_items_per_url":200,
"ignore_url_failures":true
}

3. Set extraction limits — Adjust max_items_per_url based on your needs:

   • 20–50 for quick samples
   • 100–200 for comprehensive analysis
   • Higher values for full-scale aggregation (slower processing)

4. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor progress in the run log. Failed URLs are skipped if ignore_url_failures: true.

5. Export & analyze — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Import into spreadsheets, databases, or visualization tools.

Best practices:

• Use pagination (?restPage=N) to split large searches into smaller, faster runs
• Set ignore_url_failures: true to prevent timeouts from blocking entire runs
• Filter URLs by genre or location to reduce dataset size and improve relevance

Use Cases & Business Value
