Pull a SeatGeek Venue Seating Map Into a Google Sheet

The Scenario

You resell premium tickets and you just landed access to a sold-out NBA playoff game. Your team needs the full section and row map for the venue so they can evaluate inventory by tier — floor sections versus upper bowl — and price accordingly. You have the SeatGeek event ID. What you don't have is a clean section list that your team can work from.

The bad version:

  • Try to reconstruct the seating map from SeatGeek's interactive seat picker UI by zooming in, reading section names, and typing them into a sheet.
  • Realize the interactive map is Flash-dependent on certain browsers and won't render, so you switch to mobile and squint at labels.
  • Get 60% of the sections down before your team needs the data and you have to send a half-finished sheet with a note to "fill in the rest."

A half-complete section map is worse than no section map — it creates pricing errors on the rows that look populated but aren't.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your event context, uses its built-in SeatGeek integration to pull the venue's seating layout for the specific event, and writes section names and row identifiers into your sheet. Complete, structured, and fast.

Get the seating map for SeatGeek event ID 12345 and write each section name and its row identifiers into columns A and B of the Seating sheet.

What You Get

  • Column A: Section name (e.g., "Floor 1", "Section 101", "Suite Level A")
  • Column B: Row identifiers for that section (e.g., "1-20", "A-M")
  • All sections returned by SeatGeek for that event in a flat, scannable list
  • No missing sections — the API pull is complete, not dependent on what's visible in a UI

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

The event ID is in a cell, not hardcoded in the prompt

Your workflow pulls event IDs dynamically and you want to look up the seating map from a cell reference.

Fetch the venue seating layout for the SeatGeek event ID in cell A1 and write all section names and row labels into a new sheet called Sections.

You want to add a tier classification column based on section name patterns

Floor, lower bowl, upper bowl — you need a column that classifies each section for pricing.

Get the seating map for SeatGeek event ID 12345. Write section name into column A and row identifiers into column B. Then look at the section names and add a Tier column in column C: "Floor" for floor sections, "Lower Bowl" for sections 100-199, "Upper Bowl" for sections 200-299, and "Suite" for anything labeled Suite or Club.

You need seating maps for multiple event IDs in one pass

You have five events this week and need section maps for each.

For each SeatGeek event ID in column A, fetch the seating map and write all section names into a new sheet named after the event ID. Create one sheet per event ID.

Pull sections, classify tiers, flag sections with limited rows, and sort by tier

Get the seating map for SeatGeek event ID 12345. Write section name, row identifiers, and a tier classification into columns A, B, and C. Flag any section with fewer than 5 rows as "Limited" in column D. Sort the output by tier: Floor first, then Lower Bowl, then Upper Bowl, then Suite.

One prompt handles the data pull, the classification logic, the flag, and the sort together.
