Extract Ticketmaster Event Image URLs Into an Excel workbook

The Scenario

You're the digital marketing coordinator for a mid-size entertainment venue group. Your social media content calendar runs two weeks ahead, and you fill it by sourcing event imagery from Ticketmaster — the artists, the posters, the high-resolution promo shots that make the grid look good.

You have 20 event IDs in column A of an Excel workbook. Your task is to find the best available image URL for each event so the designer can start pulling assets. The content calendar meeting is in two hours.

The bad version:

  • Open the Ticketmaster API documentation, find the image endpoint, and write a call for the first event ID.
  • Parse the returned array of image objects, identify the one with the highest resolution or widest dimensions, and copy the URL.
  • Paste it into column B of the workbook. Repeat for the remaining 19 events.

The API returns multiple image objects per event with different ratios and sizes. Choosing the right one means reading the width and ratio fields for each option and comparing them. For 20 events, that's a lot of manual eyeballing for something that should take 30 seconds.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads event IDs from your workbook and queries Ticketmaster's event images data, identifying the highest-resolution option and writing the URL into the adjacent column without you parsing a single JSON response.

For each event ID in column A, fetch the Ticketmaster event images and write the URL of the largest available image into column B.

What You Get

  • Column B populated with one URL per event — the largest available image Ticketmaster returns for that event.
  • URLs are direct image links, ready to hand to the design team or drop into your content calendar tool.
  • Rows where no image is returned get a blank cell rather than a broken URL.

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

You also need image dimensions for the designer to assess aspect ratios

Pull Ticketmaster image data for every event ID in column A and write the high-res image URL into column B and the image dimensions (width x height) into column C.

You need a 16:9 image specifically, not the largest regardless of ratio

For each event ID in column A, search Ticketmaster for the event images and write the URL of the image with a 16x9 ratio into column B. If no 16:9 image exists for an event, write the largest available image URL instead and flag the row in column C with "ratio-fallback".

Some event IDs in column A already have image URLs in column B from a previous pull

For each row where column B is blank, fetch Ticketmaster images for the event ID in column A and write the largest available image URL into column B. Leave rows that already have a URL in column B unchanged.

You need the image pull, a format check, and a calendar label in one shot

For each event ID in column A, fetch Ticketmaster images and write the largest available URL into column B and the dimensions into column C. In column D, write "Retina-ready" if the image width is 1024 or more, "Standard" if between 400 and 1023, and "Low-res" if below 400. Skip rows where column B already has a URL.

That gives the design team the URL, the resolution context, and a quality label in a single pass — no back-and-forth on whether an asset is usable.

Try It

Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open your content calendar asset workbook with Ticketmaster event IDs in column A, then ask it to pull the best image URL for each one. Once the URLs land in column B, your designer has everything they need. See also: pulling full event details if you also need venue, date, and pricing context alongside the images.
