Partner API

The Ticketmaster Partner API, unlike the Discovery API, is not an Open API and is restricted to official Distributed Commerce business partners.

The Ticketmaster Partner API lets clients reserve, purchase, and retreive ticket and event informaton.

Make live API calls right now in the interactive docs:

Release Notes

Click here to find the latest API feature releases.

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.

Order management [GET]

Get detailed information about an order using order token. For specifically-enabled accounts only.

/partners/v1/orders?order_token={order_token}?apikey={apikey}

OR using Cart Id. For specifically-enabled accounts only.

/partners/v1/orders?cart_id={cart_id}&event_id={event_id}&apikey={apikey}

Polling: Yes

Please Note : 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). An EP cannot set a separate time for mobile and print-at-home tickets, and the setting does not prevent the tickets from being printed. Instead, 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.

Parameters

apikey Your API Key string “GkB8Z037ZfqbLCNtZViAgrEegbsrZ6Ne” Yes

  1. First name
  2. Last name
  3. Email - We use email to send the customer their claim link.
  4. Phone number
  5. Zip code - this piece of data becomes optional when we get email address because we just need a third piece of data for the box office to use in case there are two customers with same name.
  6. Address - In case the customer selects mail option for ticket delivery.

When a customer clicks on their claim link, they will be asked to log into their TM account or create one.

Note: Required Customer Data in API For claim process, the API requires:
  • email_address
  • first_name
  • last_name
