Hello All,

Short Version: Is there a way I can use Inspect Element or Vew Source, or Console to get the number of tickers available or the capacity of tickets to be sold for a certain event on a website like eventbrite.

Long version: I need to get the number of online tickers sold on various websites such as eventbrite, ticket master, etc.. for certain events. The venues wont disclose them...so I gotta get the info the backhat way. Whenever a venue/event planner sets their event on a website like eventbrite or ticketmaster they have to set the amount or max capacity of tickets they can sell (to not oversell and risk venue capacity laws in their area). So when the manager goes on thier account they can get the number of tickets bought for thier event and the number left they can sell. Obviously this stuff is not in public from the purchasers perspective on the page they are buying the ticket but it does have to be programmed by code to work overall

So there are 3 possible variables:

1. The tickets available (set by the venue on their account before they publicize the event, which they can change at any time if needed)
2. The number of tickets sold
3. The number of tickets LEFT (meaning if they set their cap at 500, sold 300, then there are 200 left)

I belive finding variable #2 via inspect, console, or source vw is probably not possible but is there way to find variables #1 and #3?

Thanks
 
I doubt you'll be able to get this from the source unless the dev's have been sloppy. The information is available via the API on Eventbrite but is locked down with auth0.
