About TicketsAtlas
TicketsAtlas is a reference for live music: tour dates, the venues that host them and the cities they happen in, compiled from event data providers and updated as those sources change.
What we publish
1,691 pages are currently published across artists, venues, cities and events. A page exists when there is enough sourced information to make it useful — not for every name that appears in a feed. Pages that do not clear that bar are not published, which is why the catalogue is smaller than the raw data behind it.
How the information is sourced
Event, venue and artist information comes from third-party event data providers. Each fact is stored with the source that asserted it and when it was observed, so a page can state where its information came from. Where two sources disagree, the disagreement is recorded rather than silently resolved in favour of whichever was seen last.
The rules we hold ourselves to
Nothing is invented to fill a gap
Where a detail has not been announced — a start time, a support act, a price — the page leaves it out. A blank is more useful than a plausible guess, because a reader can act on a blank.
A price is never shown without its currency
An amount with no currency is not a price. Offers that arrive incomplete are stored but not displayed as prices, and no price is ever estimated from another event.
Availability is reported, not inferred
Ticket availability reflects what a source last stated and when. A listing being absent is not treated as evidence that an event has sold out.
Cancellations are stated before anything else
When an event is cancelled, postponed or rescheduled, that appears at the top of the page, because every other fact on it should be read differently once you know.
Conditions of entry are quoted, never paraphrased
Age limits and entry requirements are reproduced as the organiser wrote them. Rewriting a condition is how a page ends up stating a rule nobody set.
We do not rank by popularity
There are no “trending” or “most popular” lists here, because the system holds no popularity data. Listings are ordered by date, by catalogue size, or alphabetically — each of which is a fact rather than an opinion.
Freshness and corrections
Every page records when its information last changed, and shows it. Data is refreshed as providers publish updates; an event whose source stops listing it is retained and marked rather than deleted, because a show that happened remains a fact about the past.
If something here is wrong, the correction is worth making — details are on the methodology page.
Tickets
TicketsAtlas does not sell tickets. Where a source publishes a link to a seller, the page shows it and names the seller, so it is always clear who the transaction would be with.
