Ticketmaster Grabber: Show Ticket Monitoring

Why do I need a proxy IP for Ticketmaster ticket monitoring?

Nine out of ten people fall prey to IP blocking when they try to get tickets to a show. You have written a crawler script, but in the end, just two minutes after running, Ticketmaster caught you, and directly gave you IP lockout. This is the time toGet a new vest and keep doing it.--Proxy IPs are your cloak and dagger.

To give a real example: last year mold sister concert release tickets, an old man with his own broadband IP monitoring, the results just caught the release notice was blocked, watching scalpers sweep the tickets. Later, he used ipipgo's dynamic residential proxy, automatically changing IP every 5 minutes, successfully squatting to the second release of tickets.

What are the doors to look for when choosing a proxy IP?

There are all kinds of proxy IPs on the market, but you have to recognize these hard indicators for ticket monitoring:

Teach you the whole monitoring tool by hand

Here's a basic version of the monitoring script in Python (remember to install the requests library):

import requests
from time import sleep

 ipipgo proxy setup (remember to change to your own account)
proxies = {
  'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
  'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}

def check_tickets(event_id).
    url = f "https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/{event_id}"
    try.
        response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
        if "tickets available" in response.text: send_alert()
            send_alert("Tickets available! Grab them now!")
         Change IP every 3 minutes
        if int(time.time()) % 180 == 0: requests.get(""): if "tickets available" in response.text: send_alert("Tickets available!
            requests.get("https://gateway.ipipgo.com/rotate-ip")
    except Exception as e.
        print("Crawl error:", e)

while True: check_tickets("11", "11", "11", "11")
    check_tickets("1100ABCD12345")
    sleep(60)

Note the three points:

1. Don't request too often, recommend >30 seconds/repeat
2. User-Agent should be changed randomly, don't use the default one.
3. Cut the IP immediately when you encounter CAPTCHA, don't fight it.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Stepped on a mine last year when I was helping a friend get Coldplay tickets:

• ❌ Using free proxies: the IP pool is just a few dozen, and all of them are blocked in half an hour.
• ✅ Change to ipipgo's rotating residential IP: set up automatic IP change every 50 requests
• ❌ Monitoring fixed URLs: Ticketmaster frequently changes page structure
• ✅ Grabbing API interface data: F12 grabbing packets to find real ticket interface

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Why am I still blocked even though I use a proxy?
A: Eighty percent of the use of transparent proxy, or IP pool is too small. It is recommended to change ipipgo's high stash of proxy packages, they have millions of IP pools, sealed immediately replaced by a new one.

Q: What can I do if I monitor the availability of tickets but can't grab them?
A: Add an automated ordering module to automatically trigger the ticket grabbing process when you receive a notification. Remember to handle monitoring and ordering with different IPs to avoid correlation.

Q: Is it legal to use a proxy IP?
A: It's fine to simply monitor tickets, but don't use bots to maliciously scrub tickets. ipipgo's service fully adheres to the rules of each platform, and it is recommended to set a reasonable access frequency.

Why ipipgo?

Having tested seven or eight agency services in the past six months, ipipgo crushes its peers on three key points:

1. Real Life Housing IP: It's exactly the same as a normal user's Internet IP, so Ticketmaster can't tell the difference.
2. Exclusive City PositioningThe city where the concert will be held can be accurately located, and the success rate of ticket grabbing is +30%.
3. Intelligent IP Rotation: Automatic switching based on the risk of banning, no need to manually fiddle around
