Partner API

The Ticketmaster Partner API, unlike the Discovery API, is not an open API. It is restricted to companies with whom Ticketmaster has existing, official distribution relationships.

The Ticketmaster Partner API lets clients reserve, purchase, and retrieve ticket and event information.

Release Notes

Overview

Authentication

Clients will be provided an API key from Ticketmaster which should be added to every resource endpoint call.

The key can be sent as a query parameter “apikey” or as a header “x-api-key”.

Example (using apikey as query parameter): https://app.ticketmaster.com/partners/v1/events/1AeZZfEGkD0xtGV/cart?apikey=3QIvq55bS608ai6r8moig1WdW57bONry

Host and API endpoint information

Environment	Endpoint
Pre-prod	https://app.ticketmaster.com/partners-preprod/v1
Production	https://app.ticketmaster.com/partners/v1

All connections must be made over SSL using https.

Production environment testing

Here you can test API transactions for different scenarios like credit card and invoice payment, captcha, etc. The following event ids are available for use:

* 1AeZZfEGkD0xtGV: Use this event ID for production environment testing

Universal Ids

Partner API will now use Universal Ids for all its endpoints . The universal Ids can be fetched using the Discovery Feed or Discovery API .

Best Practices

Cleanup

If a user abandons a page/tab after a ticket reserve has been made, client applications should do their best to detect this and issue a DELETE /cart request to free up allocated resources on the ticketing server. This should also be done if client apps no longer want to wait through a long, continuing polling process. This is necessary since ticket reserve requests that result in polling will eventually complete asynchronously and take up resources even if clients do not consume the next polling url.

Polling

Polling results from limited per-partner resources in the ticketing system. Clients should always be ready to handle polling responses. See polling for more details.

Terms and Conditions

By using the Ticketmaster Developer Portal, you understand and agree to our Terms of Use.

Service Availability

The Ticketmaster back-end reservation systems are distributed globally and events are processed on their local systems. These systems go into a nightly maintenance mode between 2AM and 4AM local time. This means a show playing at Madison Square Garden will not be transactable between 2AM-4AM Eastern Time. Use the timezone value from the event details response to note when these events may be unavailable for transactions.

}

Redemption Email

Once the purchase is successfully completed, Ticketmaster will send the buyer the redemption URL. it is recommended that partners display it to the buyer. The URL is active until the buyer redeems the ticket. Partners can store the URL, however be advised that anyone who has the URL can redeem the ticket and could result in a customer service issue. Ticketmaster also sends reminders to the buyer until the ticket has been redeemed. Requesting a copy of the URL is not standard practice and we do not recommend relying on this as part of the integration process.

Delete Cart [DELETE]

Each partner has a limited amount of reservation resources that can be simultaneously in use. If the user abandons the reservation process, it is a good practice to manually delete the cart to allow these resources to be re-allocated. Increased polling may occur if carts are not cleaned up. Not required if the user finalizes the transaction

Status 204

Polling [GET]

Resource endpoints that have polling enabled may alternatively return a json response with a polling url and wait time, along with http status code=202. This is used to inform client applications of long-waiting operations and queuing restrictions for particular actions in the Ticketmaster system.

Client applications may receive the following json response for any resource marked “Polling: Yes”.

{
    "polling_url": "https://app.ticketmaster.com/partners/v1/polling-status?token=0ee566f7-cbfe-43f4-93b9-117c8d69f3d0&cart_id=eb6d42b7-cb95-48a5-acba-56514cf0d6ef",
    "wait": 4,
    "cart_id": "eb6d42b7-cb95-48a5-acba-56514cf0d6ef"
}

Client applications should call polling_url with a GET request after waiting 4 seconds. It is possible that this request may also result in another polling response.

Clients can test polling by issuing the following header: X-TM-FORCE-POLLING: true to any of the endpoints marked “Polling: Yes”.

The output of the original action will eventually be returned in the body of the response.

NOTES:

1. ETickets Ready: The Host supports a feature called eTickets Ready which allows clients to control when consumers can view eTickets (i.e., mobile and print-at-home tickets) on TM. An event programmer (EP) can set a visibility date for eTickets as an offset from the event date/time in minutes. For instance, if a client doesn’t want fans to view their tickets until 72 hours before the event, then an EP would set the visibility time to 4,320 minutes (# of days x 24 hours x 60 minutes/hour). It is the responsibility of consumer-facing apps to honor the setting and only render the tickets at the appropriate time. To that end, the Order Management API will return the barcode_display_date along with the order details when an event is enabled for eTickets Ready. If a ticketing source system has the ability to delay the delivery of tickets until a specific time, then it should implement the barcode_display_date.

2. Safetix: To support SafeTix events, the response will include a ‘delivery’ object indicating the the “service_level”: “SAFETIX”

"delivery": {
 "carrier": "TICKETMASTER",
 "service_level": "SAFETIX",
 "description": 
    {
      "short": "SafeTix Rotating Entry Token"

Mobile Ticket Display Requirements

Ticket Attributes:

The following attributes should appear on each ticket:

Attribute	Description	Data Source
Event name	Name of event	Discovery API
Venue	Name of venue	Discovery API
Event Date	The event start date in local date	Discovery API
Event Time	The event start time in local time	Discovery API
Seat Section	The section of the seat	Order Management API
Seat Row	The row of the seat	Order Management API
Seat Number	The seat number	Order Management API
Portal	The venue entry and exit information for the seat	Order Management API
Order Number	The order number	Order Management API
Ticket Text	Information about the seat (only applicable when eventSource=MFX)	Order Management API

Barcode Display Format:

If the event is using a static barcode, render the barcode for each ticket in barcode_display_format.

If the event is using a SafeTix rotating barcode, use the Secure Entry SDK to render the token in secure_entry_data for each ticket.

Channel Indicator

For Ticketmaster US, CA, IE, AU and NZ events using a mobile QR code, you will need to append the channel indicator for Distributed Commerce to the barcode_id. The channel indicator helps Ticketmaster clients to identify the sales channel for mobile QR codes in reporting. You can either append the letter ‘i’ or ‘I’ as the 17th character to the barcode_id to identify Distributed Commerce as the sales channel for the ticket.

The channel indicator is not required for the following types of events:

Ticketmaster events located outside of US, CA, IE, AU and NZ (when eventSource = MFX)
Ticketmaster events using SafeTix
Universe (when eventSource = Universe)

Co-Branding Partner Name and Logo Information

In the claim flow, to co-brand the claim page and email, partners can share with us the image and name that needs to be used. The image is uploaded on to our CDN and the URL is shared back with the partner. Partner can then use that URL in our commit cart request with attributes_overrides.

{
    "cart_id": "c745c1a7-fbed-4b52-b650-e130f1a849bf",
    "attribute_overrides" : {
        "images" : {
            "email_1x" : "https://dcassets.pub-tmaws.io/assets/images/ABC.png",
            "1x" : "https://dcassets.pub-tmaws.io/assets/images/ABC.png",
            "web_1x" : "https://dcassets.pub-tmaws.io/assets/images/ABC.png"
        }
    }
}

Based on the image URL received in the request, we customize the claim page and the email with specific partner name and image.

All-in Pricing

All-in pricing will be indicated in the Discovery API and Partner API for certain Ticketmaster or Live Nation events that require enforcement of all-in pricing. All-in pricing is set at the event-level.

All Partners:

In the Discovery API, there is an allInclusivePricing field for events. If set to true, then all-in pricing is being applied to that event.

Channel Partners:

In the Availability API Event Inventory and Seat Availability responses, there is an allInclusivePricing field to indicate if all-in pricing is being applied to that event.
Partners can see an event’s all-in pricing status from either Discovery API or Availability API responses.

Open Inventory Affiliate Partners:

In the Top Picks API, there is an allInclusivePricing field in the eventDetails object. If set to true, then all-in pricing is being applied to that event.
In order to match Ticketmaster.com’s all-in pricing experience, we have also made various changes to the fees in the API so that it is easier for you to display this in your own UI.
Under the offers object in Top Picks, if all-in pricing is true:
- TotalPrice: should be the sum of faceValue + any fees programmed on the event. Order Processing Fee will not be included in the calculation of this value.
- Facility fee: will no longer appear in the charges array and will be automatically rolled into the service fee.
- Taxes will no longer appear in the charges array in Top Picks; in line with the Ticketmaster.com experience, these should be shown to the user at checkout.
- For Live Nation owned and operated venues or select Ticketmaster all-in pricing events (eg. if the event is using all-in pricing but not at the state mandated level), the order processing fee will always be $0.
In Partner API Reserve endpoint, if all-in pricing is true, these changes are made to the charges array:
- Service fee: Value is now the sum of all service and facility fees. Service fee does not include tax.
- Tax: Value is now the sum of all taxes for a ticket: service_tax, service_tax_2, face_value_tax
- Facility fee: Now suppressed from the charges array.
- Note: All-in pricing totals can still be retrieved from the totals object in the cart.

Canada All-in Pricing Considerations

Your implementation for all-in pricing in Canada may differ from US all-in pricing event implementation.
In the Canadian market, all-in pricing applies to all events in this country and the all-in pricing field (allInclusivePricing) will NOT be set to true, even though Canada utilizes all-in pricing. Partners should not key off this field to determine if all-in pricing is used.
This field applies only to US events and will always be listed as false for Canadian events in Discovery, Top Picks and Availability APIs.
Canadian all-in pricing is composed of:
- In Top Picks API, all-in pricing functions as it does for the US (e.g. the service fee is combined with facility fee into a single “service fee” line and totalPrice excludes tax)
- In Reserve, unlike the all-in pricing implementation in the US, there are no changes for Canadian all-in pricing. The Reserve response is the same structure as US and CA events when all-in pricing is not enabled (see here for Reserve details). This is to mimic Ticketmaster.com in Canada where Checkout does NOT roll up the facility fee into the service fee.
- In the Availability API, there are no changes for Canadian all-in pricing. The Availability API returns the same response as US and CA events when all-in pricing is not enabled.

Market-level signals for all-in pricing:

Discovery, Top Picks and Availability APIs will also support state-level or market-level required mandates for all-in pricing.
The following US states with all-in pricing legislation will have the allInclusivePricing field set to true given their respective mandate:
- California: Live
- Colorado: Live
- Connecticut: Live
- Maryland: Live
- Massachusetts: Live February 18, 2025
- Minnesota: Live
- New York: Live
- North Carolina: Live
- Tennessee: Live
For other countries, the allInclusivePricing field will always be set to false and should not be used as an indicator that all-in pricing applies to this market. Other countries that mandate all-in pricing and are supported in our API:
- Canada: Live on all events

Distributed Commerce Partner Certification Checklist

Arrange a meeting to walk through your purchase flow with the Distributed Commerce team.
Ensure that you can make all applicable calls for your use case to the Partner API successfully
Ensure that you have considered the Partner API Best Practices below.
Place five test orders on a test event or live event (live events require client/TM approval) and send the Host order numbers to partnersupport@ticketmaster.com for verification. After the orders have been placed, submit a sample monthly settlement report to verify the report is formatted properly with the correct test orders.
After the orders have been verified, the Distributed Commerce team will request refunds as needed.
Submit another sample monthly settlement report with the canceled orders to verify the orders appear in the report.

Partner API Best Practices

FAQs can be found here

Price level ID is not being used in the Availability for mapping inventory and pricing data in your system. This value is not static.
Polling has been implemented.
Nightly Maintenance Windows have been considered. Systems go into nightly maintenance from 2am-4am local time for the event. For example, if a fan is trying to buy an event for NY between 2am-4am EST, the system will be down for maintenance.
Seat Selection: We do not recommend providing a specific seat selection experience similar to ticketmaster.com - this is to avoid high occurrence of no inventory found errors.
- Unless the inventory is exclusive, the seats may not be available (a fan in another channel may be shopping those same seats).
- Instead of specific seat selection, we suggest providing a list view similar view to ticketmaster.com and offer section and rows.
Review common error responses here and determine how best to surface errors to your customers.
If you intend to use images from the Discovery API, most images for events/artists are landscape format, so you may need to consider how to render that in your UI.
If you are using the claims process, ensure that the claim link is appearing in the relevant places in your UI and/or confirmation email.
When adding payment information, update the field called “dc_extra_notes,” with the order number that a fan will receive from you when their order is confirmed. This is to help the box offices troubleshoot issues when fans provide a partner’s order number. Please see the documentation here.
