SeatGeek Price Checker

Check prices for SeatGeek events in a Google Apps Script.

Created because their email alerts never work for me.

Setup

  1. Get a SeatGeek client_id here.
  2. Go to the Google Apps Script homepage, click "New Script."
  3. (optional) Name the script.
  4. Copy the contents of code.js into the open file.
  5. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your ID from step 1 and replace YOUR_EMAIL_HERE with your email.
  6. Fill in events with your events. Each event is a JavaScript object with id and maxPrice fields. Currently, event IDs are at the end of the event URLs. For example, for my Sam Smith event the URL is: https://seatgeek.com/sam-smith-tickets/san-diego-california-valley-view-casino-center-2018-09-01-8-pm/concert/4077297. The name is just used for logging and emails, it can be anything that makes sense to you. You will only receive email alerts if the price of the ticket goes below maxPrice.
  7. Click the Run button. This will cause an "Authorization Required" pop-up to appear. Review the permissions and accept.
  8. Click the Current Projects Triggers button. Use the options to schedule your price checker to run at whatever interval you'd like.
  9. Enjoy!
