Who buys in US events & tickets, and is there a single national database?
- Who pays for attention here
- Ticket resale marketplaces and brokers (SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, StubHub) plus venues, promoters and fan-site advertisers buy event-intent traffic at scale (head term "concerts near me" $0.44 CPC, 201000 monthly searches, measured 2026-09-01).
- What a cross-state index adds
- Ticketmaster, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats already aggregate inventories, resale prices and seat maps for major tours and arenas; the uncovered side is a national cross-venue join of small local venues, fairs and festivals with verified box-office price floors and all-in fee comparison.
- Single national database?
- No. No official US event database exists; listings and prices are held in proprietary commercial platforms like StubHub (verified 200) and Ticketmaster (returns 403 bot shielding), so no public single source can be joined.
