Gemini adds Ticketmaster as Pandora and 12 more app connections roll out

Ticketmaster is already available to U.S. users in English, while Pandora and the wider connected-app slate are rolling out over the next few weeks.

Google is expanding Gemini with 14 connected services, including Ticketmaster and Pandora. The wider slate will roll out over the next few weeks, but Ticketmaster says its Gemini app is already available to U.S.-based users in English on the web, iOS and Android. Pandora is part of the coming rollout rather than a service Google described as immediately live.

Google set out the broader plan in its connected-apps announcement. Ticketmaster separately explained the Gemini live-event discovery integration, including what users can see in Gemini and where the purchase is completed.

How Ticketmaster works in Gemini

The Ticketmaster connection is designed for event discovery. A user can:

• Ask Gemini to find relevant live events through a conversational request.

• View real-time event information.

• Compare available seats and prices.

• Use the integration on Gemini’s web, iOS and Android experiences.

• Continue to Ticketmaster to complete the purchase.

The final step is an external handoff. Gemini can surface event and ticket information, but Ticketmaster remains the checkout destination. That replaces the earlier draft’s uncertainty about whether purchasing was supported and avoids implying that the full transaction takes place inside Gemini.

Rollout and availability

Ticketmaster’s integration is available now for U.S.-based users in English, according to the company’s announcement. Google’s wider connected-app rollout is staged over the next few weeks, and Pandora is included in that coming wave.

Google said the 14-service slate spans several areas:

• Productivity and local services.

• Entertainment and music, including Ticketmaster and Pandora.

• Home, health and lifestyle services.

What users can expect

For Ticketmaster, the use case is direct. A person can begin with a natural-language request, review live-event options, see seat and price information, and then move to Ticketmaster to buy. The integration shortens the discovery process without replacing Ticketmaster’s marketplace.

Pandora’s role is part of the wider rollout. Google identified the music service as one of the new connections, but placed its availability within the next-few-weeks window rather than the already-live status Ticketmaster claims for its own app.

The broader announcement shows how Google is extending Gemini beyond stand-alone answers. Connected apps let the assistant use a third-party service when a request depends on information or functions held by that service. Each integration still has its own supported actions, geographic limits and launch timing.

Billboard has focused on Ticketmaster’s role in AI-assisted event discovery, while Mashable highlighted both Ticketmaster and Pandora in the new wave of Gemini connections. Those reports provide independent context, but the rollout and availability details come from Google and Ticketmaster’s primary announcements.

The practical takeaway is clear: Ticketmaster is already available in Gemini for the stated U.S. and English-language audience, with real-time event, seat and price information and a checkout handoff to Ticketmaster. Pandora and the rest of Google’s 14-service slate are rolling out on their own schedules over the next few weeks.
