Concert Ticket Inventory Checking Script

$15-25 USD / hour

I need a script that will find current ticket inventory for particular concerts. My budget is somewhat limited, so this particular project might have to be smaller in scale, depending on how many hours it would take to implement, but I hope to build on this project in the near future and work with someone who will be able to be on call to assist on an ongoing basis. My current process is very manual and I’m looking to automate. Right now, I’ll pull up Flashpeak Slimbrowser, since it’s the only browser I’ve found that lets you open new, separate sessions in separate tabs. (Separate sessions are required to determine the number of tickets to a concert.) I’ll open 20 separate sessions in 20 separate tabs and then paste my link in each tab. For example… [login to view URL] And in each tab, I’ll select the max number of tickets the website allows (in this case 10, but it can be anywhere from 2 to 20, so the number of tabs might have to change depending on the max allowed tickets) and then hit either “enter” or “get tickets”. I’ll repeat that process on all 20 tabs or until I get a message saying that there aren’t enough tickets left. At that point I add up the number of tickets that I’ve reserved on all the tabs and mark that down on my inventory spreadsheet. If I go through all 20 tabs and am able to put 10 tickets in my cart in each tab, I’ll note “200+” on my spreadsheet instead of the actual number since I wasn’t able to find out exactly how many tickets are left. I do that process on several websites. And the process I use is pretty much the same for each of those websites although the layout of the ticket purchasing page is slightly different for each. Eventually, I’d like to have a script for each website I use, but this project will focus solely on [login to view URL] I’ll need to discuss with you exactly how the automation process will work. I would imagine the script itself would be relatively easy, as most of the keyboard shortcuts I currently use would simply be implemented into the script. The part I’m not sure about is how the collection of data would be done. I’d like to be able to enter hundreds of concerts into the script and be able to determine the frequency with which those concerts are checked, and to be able to add and take away concerts from the list as necessary. Some concerts I’d want to check weekly, others I’d want daily and still others I might want to check a few times a day. I’m not sure about the logisitics…if a database would be required to pull that off or if something simpler could be used. The data I need returned to me is simply the band playing the concert, the date of the concert, the venue, the city and the total number of tickets left as well as the current date. If that could be put into an excel spreadsheet or a CSV file that would be great. Running the script overnight and waking up to a list of current ticket inventories would be ideal, but I’d also like to have the flexibility to do a one off check on a particular show or even several shows if necessary. I’m not sure I can afford a full scale project that would give me everything I need. But, I’d at least like to get a ballpark of what it would take time and money wise to get this done. One big challenge is that sometimes Ticketfly limits the number of page requests you can do in a certain amount of time. My IP has been temporarily blocked, for no more than 24 hours, if I try to request too many pages in a day. So, you’ll need to find some type of solution for that. I’m not sure if the script would need to run through Proxies or if there’s some other way to hide or continuously change my IP address. Lastly, this script is merely for collecting data, not buying tickets. I’d like to get started as soon as possible. Thanks.

I have experience developing web scrapers for various tasks to replace manual data mining. My bid is for 5 hours of work, including up to an hour phone call to discuss requirements and options and development of a prototype form interface and scraper. The system I propose would be written in PHP and would output results directly to CSV. This has two positive implications for your needs: it will reduce the amount of development complexity, and will allow you to easily deploy the script to another server in the event of a ban. The downsides would be that it would scale poorly, but checking for up to 200 tickets in the same manner you currently do it manually should be well within the script's capabilities. Future development should be relatively easy and will amount to writing some regex for the additional sites. I look forward to working with you, and patiently await any questions you have for me, thanks!

Hi, i think we can use php curl to achieve what you want. It allows to make requests to websites from php, there is no problem with session as we can start new session easily. Can be problems with requests per ip though but we can use proxies i think.
