Extract text from Ticketmaster event files (TIKSRV)
To convert TIKSRV events to another format, you need Microsoft Outlook or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Event Calendar File" file type, you need software like Microsoft Outlook or a similar tool.
A .TIKSRV file is a proprietary calendar service file generated by Ticketmaster to distribute event and digital ticket scheduling information. It is primarily designed to be processed by Microsoft Outlook to automatically add concert dates, theatre times, or sports matches to a user's desktop calendar.
The main disadvantage of the .TIKSRV format is its highly specialized, closed ecosystem. It is not natively supported by modern web browsers, mobile calendar apps, or cloud-based email clients like Gmail. Relying on this obscure format often triggers the frustrating "Windows cannot open this file" error. Because the internal event data is meant to be handled invisibly by Outlook, users without an active desktop Office setup often struggle to extract their seat numbers, event times, or venue details. Furthermore, standard online converters frequently fail to process .TIKSRV files because they lack the specific parsing logic to read Microsoft's custom scheduling wrappers.
To make this ticketing data universally usable, converting the file to a standard ICS (iCalendar) format is the best choice. This ensures cross-platform compatibility with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar. Extracting the data to TXT or CSV is also highly recommended if you simply need to read the raw text of the ticket details.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert because often only the original software can properly read the event data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TIKSRV file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OLM, WAB and OSS files.
If you want to convert TIKSRV file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Microsoft Outlook or similar software from the "Calendar Event Ticketing Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to TIKSRV, try Microsoft Outlook or another comparable tool in the "Calendar Event Ticketing Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TIKSRV converter.
