get_event_seats

When to use it

• You need seat-level detail: exactly which seats are open, and the price of each. Leave view out.
• You want what just moved: seats that came off sale, came back or changed price in the last minutes. view recent.
• You want the story of one seat, every seat of a section, or every seat of the event that changed: view history, with scope.
• It replaces get_event_seats_live, get_event_seats_recent and get_event_seat_history, whose names still answer: see Old names.

Inputs

• view (string): live (the default): the seats open now, or at a past moment with at. recent: the seats that moved in the last minutes. history: one seat's changes. One of live, recent, history.
• event_id (string, required): The event, by its Ticker id (ev plus ten characters), as search_events and the other tools return it.
• at (date-time): With live, read the seats open at this past moment, with a time zone. Leave it out for now. A past answer has no prices.
• limit (integer): The most rows to return. live: 200 seats when you leave it out, at most 5,000. recent: 50 seats. history: 50 changes per page, at most 200. A larger value reads as the most.
• all_in (boolean): With live, also each open seat's price after fees, and whether that price is an estimate, in the same order as open. On when you leave it out; false returns the prices before fees alone. Not served with at.
• minutes (integer): With recent, how far back to look, in minutes, at most 120. From 1 to 120.

• place_index (integer): With history, the seat's place index from live or recent, in place of section, row and seat.
• since (date-time): With history, the oldest change to include, with a time zone. Leave it out to reach the seat's first change.
• cursor (string): With history, next_cursor from the page before: one seat's older changes, or the next seats of a section or event read.
• scope (string): With history: seat (the default) reads one seat. section reads every seat of section that changed since since. event reads every seat of the event that changed. One of seat, section, event.

Examples

Which seats are open right now, and at what price?

{ "event_id": "ev3rp4z4zhq1" }

  "view": "history",
  "section": "104",
  "row": "6",
  "seat": "2"
}

Which seats at this event changed this week, section by section?

  "view": "history",
  "scope": "event",
  "since": "2026-10-08T00:00:00Z"
}

What comes back

• live: open, the open seats as place indexes, with each seat's price at the same position in prices. count is the true total, so read it, not the list length; truncated says limit cut the lists.
• recent: one row per seat, newest first, with place_index, section, row, seat, kind (open on sale, close off sale), at, price and changes. republish true is a re-listing at a new price, not a sale.
• history for one seat: seat, then changes, newest first: listed, repriced (with previous_price), unavailable (off sale from at to until_at, then back) or gone (taken or pulled, and the history does not say which). next_cursor gets older changes.
• history with scope section or event: one summary per section, with the seats that changed, the seats off sale at the end of the window, and the first and last change. With rows true: up to 25 seats a page in seat order, each with its changes; a seat with more than 50 rows says truncated and carries its own next_cursor, and the page's next_cursor gets the next seats.
• available false means Ticker has no live seat data for the event.
