The Regency Ballroom

Source: theregencyballroom.com — an AEG/AXS event-venue template. The /events path is a JS app that 403s plain HTTP clients (nginx) and even real browsers without a JS round-trip, but the template renders its event list from a public Azure-blob JSON published by AEG (no auth, no key):

https://aegwebprod.blob.core.windows.net/json/events/9/events.json

fetch.py does NOT hardcode that URL — it discovers it on the homepage each run (regex over the HTML, with the last-known URL as fallback). One GET returns the full calendar (40 shows, newest → oldest) with pre-structured fields; there is no per-show detail page to crawl, no JSON-LD to unescape.

Each feed event gives us everything the build needs directly:

feed field	→ show field
title.headlinersText	headline_artists
title.supportingText ("with A, B")	support_artists
title.presentedByText	presenters
title.tour (when ≠ headliner)	show_title
eventDateTimeISO / doorDateTime	date, show_time, doors
age	age_rating
ticketing.status / ticketURL	ticket_status / ticket_link
eventId	event_page
description (AxS boilerplate)	— dropped

Notes:

• doorDateTime is naive (no tz) while eventDateTimeISO carries the venue tz — build.py re-attaches the door time to the tz-aware event date.
• ticketPriceLow/High are $0 for every current event (AXS hides prices pre-sale), so the price note is never emitted.
• "An Evening With " headlines: the prefix is surfaced as set_format, the artist is looked up without it.
• All bills are live music → event_type: "music" (no film/comedy here).
• The feed is ~564KB with per-artist bios/media; fetch.py slims each event to the fields the build reads (~200KB cache).
