Disclosure: TixsTracker is our own service, and it is listed first below because it is ours, not because it won a ranking. Everything said about the other services was read off their own sites in September 2026. Features and pricing change; verify before you pay for anything.
Every service here does the same core job: it watches resale ticket listings and tells you when the price moves. They differ on which marketplaces they see, how they define “the price,” and how they reach you.
The comparison
| Service | What it watches | Alerts via | Price history |
|---|---|---|---|
| TixsTracker (ours) | Concerts and sports. Search via Gametime; specific SeatGeek and StubHub listings by URL on paid plans. | Email, SMS | Yes, every check stored |
| Event Spy | Concerts, sports and more across major resale sites. | Email, SMS, WhatsApp | Shows a 7-day low on event pages |
| TrackaLacker | StubHub, VividSeats and Viagogo. | Alerts on the cheapest ticket in your section | Not advertised |
| TicketAlert | Concert ticket prices against a target you set. | Not advertised | |
| GetSeatDrop | Concerts, festivals and sports. | SMS | Price trends shown |
| Visualping | Any web page you point it at, not tickets specifically. | Email and integrations | Change log per page |
Notes on each
TixsTracker
Threshold or any-drop alerts on fee-inclusive totals, checked every 15 minutes, with a built-in cooldown so a volatile listing cannot spam you.
Event Spy
Browsable catalog of trending events with get-in price alongside the 7-day low. Filters include section and quantity. Operated from the UK.
TrackaLacker
Section-level tracking rather than a single get-in number, which matters if you care where you sit. Signup is advertised as free with no card.
TicketAlert
Straightforward threshold alerting with round-the-clock monitoring. The simplest option of the group.
GetSeatDrop
Text-first. You give an event, a target price and a mobile number, then it hands you off to marketplaces to buy.
Visualping
General-purpose page monitor. Flexible, but it detects that a page changed rather than that a price crossed your number.
How to choose
Four questions separate these more than any feature list will.
- Does it watch the seat you want, or the cheapest seat in the building? Get-in tracking is fine if any seat works. If you need a specific section or a pair together, get-in alerts will fire on tickets you would never buy.
- Is the tracked number fee-inclusive? A threshold set on pre-fee listing prices is measuring something you will never actually pay. See ticket fees, explained.
- How often does it check? Underpriced listings get bought fast. A service checking once a day will mostly send you obituaries.
- Does it store history? Without it you cannot tell a real drop from a price returning to its usual level after being marked up.
Where TixsTracker fits
We built for the case where you know your number and want to be told when the market reaches it, on the total you would actually pay. That means 15-minute polling, fee-inclusive comparison, stored history on every check, and a six-hour cooldown so a jumpy listing does not train you to ignore the emails.
What we do not do: buy for you, or cover every resale marketplace. Free tracks one event; Pro is $10 a month for unlimited events and multi-platform tracking. If broad marketplace coverage matters more to you than any of the above, one of the others above will suit you better, and that is a fine outcome.
For the underlying question of when to expect a drop at all, start with when do ticket prices drop.
