The Scenario
Your agency books talent for mid-size venues across the Southeast. You have a running sheet of 15 venue IDs — places you work with regularly or are considering for upcoming campaigns. Someone from the client side pinged you this morning: they want to know how booked each venue is over the next 90 days before they commit to a sponsorship deal.
You know the venue IDs are in column B. You don't know offhand how many events are coming up at each one. The only way to find out is to search each venue individually on Ticketmaster, count the results, and note the next upcoming date.
That's 15 searches. 15 copy-paste operations. And you have a call in an hour.
The bad version:
- Open Ticketmaster, navigate to the venue search, enter the first venue ID or name, and count the visible upcoming events.
- Note the next upcoming event date somewhere temporary, then go back and do the same for venue two.
- Transfer those numbers into the sheet row by row, hoping you didn't transpose any counts or mix up venue entries partway through.
Nobody hired you to count Ticketmaster search results. The client is waiting on the sponsorship analysis, not a manual inventory exercise.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It can read venue IDs from your sheet and query Ticketmaster's event endpoint for each one, returning event counts and upcoming dates without you leaving the spreadsheet.
For each venue ID in column B, search Ticketmaster for upcoming events at that venue in the next 90 days and write the event count and next event date into columns C and D.
What You Get
- Column C: the count of events scheduled at each venue in the next 90 days.
- Column D: the date of the next scheduled event at that venue.
- Rows with zero upcoming events show 0 in column C and a blank in column D.
- Results appear in the same row order as the venue IDs, so the sheet stays aligned.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want more than just count and next date — you want the next three event names
For each venue ID in column B, look up upcoming Ticketmaster events at that venue in the next 90 days. Write the next 3 event names into columns C, D, and E, and the corresponding dates into columns F, G, and H.
Some venue IDs are in column A and some are in column B depending on how the sheet was filled
For each row where column A contains a venue ID, look up Ticketmaster events for the next 90 days and write the event count into column C. If column A is blank and column B has an ID, use that instead.
You want to categorize venues by booking density for the client report
For each venue ID in column B, search Ticketmaster for upcoming events in the next 90 days. Write the event count into column C. Then write a label into column D: "High" if count is 10 or more, "Medium" if 4 to 9, "Low" if 1 to 3, and "Dark" if 0.
Full sweep: lookup, categorize, and flag venues with no upcoming events
For each venue ID in column B, pull upcoming Ticketmaster events in the next 90 days. Write event count into column C, next event date into column D, and a booking tier label into column E based on count. In column F, write "FLAG" for any venue with 0 events so those rows stand out.
One pass gives the client exactly what they need for the sponsorship decision: density ranking, next event date, and visibility into empty venues.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open your venue tracking sheet, then ask it to check event volume for the first five venue IDs in column B. Once the counts land, run it across all 15. See also: pulling full event details by event ID once you've identified which venues to focus on.
