A Reddit user has launched Event Spy, a free, user-built platform that helps fans track resale ticket price drops for sold-out shows and festivals. Originally created to catch cheaper comedy tickets, Event Spy now supports multiple big resale sites including SeatGeek, Ticketmaster, TickPick, and StubHub.
Users can create alerts to get notified when prices dip, making it easier to snag tickets at more reasonable rates rather than paying inflated resale prices. The Reddit community has shown enthusiasm, with suggestions to add support for platforms like seetickets.com, signaling a real demand for comprehensive ticket tracking tools.
Event Spy joins other innovations in the space aiming to empower consumers:
- Tixpy: An AI-driven agent comparing all-in ticket prices across marketplaces.
- SameTix: A browser extension that instantly searches for better deals across resale platforms.
- Backstage: Offers instant alerts when ticket prices drop, helping fans decide when to buy.
These tools collectively bring better transparency and savings potential to the often frustrating secondary ticket market, helping festival and concertgoers spend smarter and avoid overpaying. Whether you’re chasing a sold-out headline set or last-minute weekend passes, Event Spy adds a valuable real-time price drop monitor to your toolkit.
For fans wanting to save and stay in-the-know, signing up for Event Spy alerts could be a game changer this festival season.
