Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search events by city, keyword, or coordinates?

Yes. `search_events` accepts a city, keyword, category, date range, or latitude and longitude with a radius. It is useful for finding concerts, sports, comedy, theatre, and family events near any location.

What do I get from a specific event lookup?

`event_details` adds venue info, price ranges, ticket status, seat maps, performers, accessibility notes, and booking links for one event.

Can I look up venues instead of events?

Yes. `find_venues` returns arenas, theatres, stadiums, and concert halls with addresses, upcoming event counts, and box office information.

Can I follow a performer or tour?

Yes. `search_artists` finds artists, bands, sports teams, or performers and shows upcoming event counts plus external profile links. You can then search events by that artist name.
