This reminds me of something I knocked up back in 2006. It's not a scraper, it's not Python, but here you are:

http://giggr.com/?q=klaxons

Searches multiple UK ticket sites and returns the artist page matching the query.

Clicking a header label (i.e. Ticketweb) switches to that provider.

Double-clicking the header re-searches based on the value of the search box.

I use it for the 9am scramble for newly released tickets.

Oh, it seems Ticketmaster has broken. Maybe I'll fix that one day... I haven't used it in a while.

If you don't mind me asking. Who pays for the bandwidth cost of running "giggr"? It doesn't look like you have any ads running. Or are you monetizing on it in some other way?

It's a static web page on a Linode I use for other projects and purposes.

Even if millions of people decided to suddenly use it, the cost would be almost nothing.

I might even consider putting the free CloudFlare in front of it to ensure the cost is nothing (one static HTML file cached forever).

Heh, just looked at the source code again... it's a single request web page, not even an external CSS or JavaScript file.

You can't get cheaper really.

Looks like it just uses browser-side js requests to get the search pages, so it would use minimal bandwidth.
