Where this calendar’s listings come from.

Ticketing feeds

Ticketmaster, room by room — United Center, Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, Rate Field, Wintrust Arena, the Loop theatres, the music rooms from Pilsen to Uptown, and Rosemont, Ravinia and Bridgeview. Church events are left out.

Venue calendars

None yet — the rooms whose shows Ticketmaster never lists (Thalia Hall's and the Empty Bottle's own box office, the Hideout, the Old Town School) are the next thing to add.

Game dates

ESPN for the Bears, Bulls, Fire, Sky and Stars, MLB’s stats API for the Cubs and White Sox (first-pitch times and the standings), and the NHL’s for the Blackhawks.

The map

The shoreline, the lakes and the main roads are © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), drawn here as one file made at build time — no map tiles, nothing fetched from anywhere else. Venues are placed from their street addresses.

The final word

Refreshed once a day. Every listing links to the venue or ticket page — check there before you go.
