🎼 NY Classical Student Tickets Notifier

🚨 THIS REPO NOW LARGELY DOESN'T WORK - but likely could be updated to continue being useful 🚨

I found myself periodically checking the websites for student tickets at the Met Opera, Carnegie Hall, and NY Phil -- and knew there had be a better way to find out about these awesome deals!

An hour later, I finished this quick and dirty scraper for the student tickets of the three aforementioned NYC classical music institutions.

No guarantee this will work at all for you! I just leave this script running in an infinite loop on a server so I'm always up to date (not the most elegant solution, sorry in advance).

Usage

python student_tix_scanner.py [email protected] -met -nyphil -carnegie

Built on Python 3.7 and Beautiful Soup4.

Carnegie Hall now blocks scraping with Incapsula

I tried naive approaches to mimic a realistic User-agent, but no luck:

opener = build_opener(HTTPCookieProcessor())
opener.addheaders=[('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/62.0.3202.94 Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36')]
response = opener.open('https://www.carnegiehall.org/Events/Discount-Programs/Student-Insider/Student-Discounts')
html = response.read()
print(html)
soup = bs(html, "html.parser")
divs = soup.findAll("div", {"class": "ch-events-list-item"})
print(len(divs))

returns:

b'<html>\r\n<head>\r\n<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">\r\n<script src="/_Incapsula_Resource?SWJIYLWA=5074a744e2e3d891814e9a2dace20bd4,719d34d31c8e3a6e6fffd425f7e032f3">\r\n</script>\r\n<body>\r\n</body></html>\r\n'
