Your Ticketmaster events now fill your app's calendar on their own

GoodBarber apps can now list a venue's upcoming Ticketmaster events in a Calendar section, sorted by date, each with a button that opens its Ticketmaster page. A concert hall that announces a date no longer has to copy it into its app by hand, or forget to.

Ticketmaster, a new source for your app's calendar

The short version. Ticketmaster is an extension of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that fills a Calendar section with the upcoming events a venue sells on Ticketmaster. Each event arrives with its image, its description, its date and time, and a button to buy tickets on Ticketmaster; canceled events are not shown. You connect it with a free key from Ticketmaster's developer portal and your venue's ID. It is free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.

Plenty of venues already sell there. Ticketmaster sold 346 million fee-bearing tickets in 2025, according to Live Nation's full-year results, published on February 19, 2026. Here is how the extension plays out for a concert hall that sells all its shows on Ticketmaster.

What happens when a new date goes on sale on Ticketmaster?

On Monday morning, the hall puts a November concert on sale on Ticketmaster. The concert joins the Ticketmaster section of the hall's GoodBarber app on its own, filed by date among the shows already announced, with its date and time at the hall's local time.

It arrives complete: the event's image, its description, its categories, the hall's address and location, and the price range when Ticketmaster publishes one. Nobody at the hall typed any of it.

The list only holds what is coming up. Canceled shows are not displayed, so the app never sends anyone to a concert that will not take place.

Can people buy tickets inside the app?

No, tickets are bought on Ticketmaster. Each event has a button that opens its page on Ticketmaster. That is where your audience chooses tickets and pays, in a checkout they already know. The app does not sell tickets: it takes people to the page that does, from the screen where they are reading about the show.

How do you get a Ticketmaster API key and venue ID?

The Ticketmaster section reads Ticketmaster's event data with your own key. Getting one is free:

  1. Create an account on the Ticketmaster developer portal.
  2. In My Apps, copy your application's Consumer Key. The Consumer Secret is not needed.
  3. Find your venue's ID: open the API Explorer, paste your key, choose Venue Search, search for your venue's name and copy its id.
  4. In your back office, add a Calendar section, choose Ticketmaster, and enter the key in the API Key field and the ID in the Venue ID field.

The venue ID is not the number in the address of your venue's page on the Ticketmaster website: use the one the API Explorer returns. As for volume, each key gets a default quota of 5,000 API calls a day, according to Ticketmaster's developer documentation, far more than one section needs.

How do you add Ticketmaster to your GoodBarber app?

The Ticketmaster extension is available for Content apps. It is free, like YouTube: each Ticketmaster section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan. Open your back office and add a Calendar section, or start from the Ticketmaster page of the Extension Store. Planning an app for your venue? Our event app page shows what else it can hold, and what an event app costs in 2026 compares the options and their prices.

If your venue needs something this version does not do, tell our support team from your back office, with your venue ID. That is what the next version will be built on.

Find answers in podcasts with GoodBarber Chatbot

Take a local radio station with live programmes, a schedule and interviews available on demand in its app. Every recording has a title and a description. Those help listeners browse, but an interview often contains useful details that never make it into the summary.In our example, the episode is called “The city we share”. Its description introduces a conversation about everyday life in the city. During the recording, an urban planner explains the city's approach to summer heat: planting trees along school routes, adding shade to playgrounds and replacing some paved surfaces with planted areas.None of those measures appears in the title or description. A listener remembers the subject and asks:Which episode explained how the city plans to reduce summer heat?We have added audio podcasts as knowledge sources for GoodBarber Chatbot so questions like this can lead back to your programmes. There are two levels: the written information you publish about each episode, and the spoken content you choose to have transcribed.

Your Twitch live streams and videos, now in your app

The short version. Twitch is an extension of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that adds a Twitch channel as the source of a Video section. When the channel is live, the stream sits at the top of the section; the rest of the time, the section lists the channel's videos. You connect it once, with a Client ID and a Client Secret from Twitch's developer console. It is free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.The audience is on Twitch. In September 2026, viewers watched 1.51 billion hours of live streams there, with 2.1 million people watching at any given moment on average, according to TwitchTracker. Here is how the extension plays out for a creator who goes live every Tuesday at 8 pm.

Turn documents into answers with GoodBarber Chatbot

In any app, publishing a useful document is only part of the job. People also need to find the right information when they are about to act. A clearly named file helps someone browsing a library, but a reader may arrive with a more immediate question.Employee communication is only one possible application. The same approach can support learning resources, member guides, technical references or any other useful documents shared through an app. For our example, consider a colleague trying to book a client trip who needs to know:Which travel expenses need prior approval?We have added document sources to GoodBarber Chatbot so that the files you already maintain can support these conversations. You select the documents. Users ask in their own words. The assistant looks for relevant passages and uses them to build a response.The question becomes a way into the policy. Employees can start with the decision in front of them, even when they do not know the title of the document that explains it.
