The Scenario
Your monthly "What's On in Chicago" roundup goes out in 48 hours and you're staring at a blank Excel workbook. The feature needs 30+ events — titles, dates, venues, and lowest ticket prices — plus the SeatGeek links so readers can buy. Last month you spent three hours pulling this manually from SeatGeek's search UI, copying event titles and opening each listing to get the price. One venue name came through with a typo that made it through to publication.
The bad version:
- Search SeatGeek for Chicago events, export what you can to CSV, import it into your workbook, and realize the export doesn't include lowest ticket price — so you're still opening each event page by hand.
- Manually copy prices from 30+ SeatGeek listing pages into the workbook, formatting dates consistently as you go.
- Finish the sheet only to notice three event dates are formatted inconsistently because SeatGeek shows them differently depending on the event type.
Your content calendar doesn't have room for a three-hour data pull every month. This is supposed to be a quick research task, not the whole afternoon.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your data, understands what you're building, and through its built-in SeatGeek integration it can search for events by city and date range and write every field directly into your workbook. You describe the task once. It runs the query and populates the rows.
Search SeatGeek for all upcoming events in Chicago in the next 60 days and write each event's title, date/time, venue name, lowest ticket price, and SeatGeek URL into Sheet1 starting at row 2, sorted by date ascending.
What You Get
- Column A: Event title as it appears on SeatGeek
- Column B: Full local date and time (e.g., "Saturday, June 7, 2026 at 7:30 PM")
- Column C: Venue name
- Column D: Lowest available ticket price (e.g., "$28.00")
- Column E: Direct SeatGeek event URL
- Rows sorted by date so your editorial calendar lines up with the output
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The date range needs to be narrower
You're building a "this weekend only" feature, not a 60-day roundup.
Search SeatGeek for all events in Chicago between June 6 and June 8, 2026 and write the event title, date, venue, and lowest ticket price into Sheet1.
You only want events above a certain ticket price threshold
Your audience is looking for premium experiences, not free community events.
Search SeatGeek for upcoming events in Chicago in the next 30 days where the lowest ticket price is above $50 and write the event title, date, venue, and price into Sheet1.
You need events from multiple cities in one worksheet
You're covering the Midwest, not just Chicago.
Search SeatGeek for all upcoming events in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis in the next 30 days. Write each event's title, city, date, venue, and lowest ticket price into separate rows in Sheet1, with a City column added before the title.
Pull, filter by price, and flag sold-out events in one pass
Search SeatGeek for all Chicago events in the next 60 days. Write title, date, venue, and lowest price into Sheet1. If an event has no listed ticket price, write "Sold Out" in column D instead. Sort by date.
The cleanest prompts skip the "clean first, then pull" sequence — you ask for the data, the filter, and the edge-case handling all at once.
