See Tickets API Complete Developer & Integration Guide for US Event Platforms

Whether you're building a sports app, a live event marketplace, or a fan engagement platform, the See Tickets API gives you the infrastructure to power real-time ticketing at scale. From concerts and festivals to sports events and theater, See Tickets (now part of the Eventim family) is one of the most widely used ticketing platforms in the United States and its API makes it possible to plug that power directly into your product.

This guide walks you through everything you need to know: what the See Tickets API does, how to use it, what endpoints are available, and how US developers and sports platforms can integrate it effectively.

What Is the See Tickets API?

The See Tickets API is a developer interface that allows third-party platforms to access ticketing data, event information, seat maps, inventory, and checkout flows from the See Tickets / Eventim ecosystem. It is primarily used by event organizers, promoters, sports venues, festivals, and affiliate marketing platforms across the United States.

See Tickets recently launched a new Affiliate API and web application to replace its legacy referral network feed, allowing affiliate partners like BandsInTown and Songkick to access event data and promote ticket sales across more channels.

The API is a private/partner-access API  meaning you need to contact See Tickets / Eventim directly to obtain credentials before making API calls.

Who Uses the See Tickets API?

The See Tickets API is built for a wide range of stakeholders in the US live events and sports industry:

Key Features of the See Tickets API

1. Event Data Access

Pull complete, structured event information including event name, date, venue, artists, and status. This is useful for any platform that wants to display live event listings dynamically.

2. Ticket Sales & Inventory Management

Retrieve real-time ticket availability, pricing tiers, and remaining inventory. You can also push updates to event-specific ticket details through the API.

3. Seat Maps

Access interactive seat map data that lets users visualize venue layouts and choose their own seats — a critical feature for sports venues and theater platforms.

4. Purchase & Checkout Integration

Embed the end-to-end ticket buying flow directly inside your own platform, so users never have to leave your app to complete a purchase.

5. Authentication & Security

The API uses API credentials including a Client ID, API Key, and API Secret. The API Secret is a one-time

displayed value that won't be shown again after the first access — if lost, a new credential must be generated. 

6. Affiliate Feed & Stats

The Affiliate API provides a reliable, open, and scalable feed that allows marketplaces to ingest event information, helping venues, promoters, and festivals reach far more audiences across multiple channels.

7. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

See Tickets has launched Multi-Factor Authentication for client users, increasing platform security by requiring two forms of authentication before users can access important client data.

See Tickets API: Authentication Flow

Access to the See Tickets API is credential-based. Here's what the authentication setup looks like for developers integrating the Affiliate or Events feed:

// Example: Authenticating with See Tickets / Eventim API
const fetchEvents = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.seetickets.com/v1/events', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'x-client-id': 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
      'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
};
