+ What does Broker Buds offer?

Our #1 goal at Broker Buds is to help grow your ticket selling business and make more profit. To that end, we offer the following to our members:

• A daily event list/buy recommendation report with event analysis and specific buy recommendations including cities, sections and price points to buy for various events. For each event we provide the sale time, presale passwords, an analysis with our outlook for the show, and specific sections and price points to buy. Just as importantly, we highlight events to avoid buying to help minimize losses on events that might be tempting for some brokers to buy. To see a sample of some of our previous daily list reports, click here.

• The #1 ticket broker chat in the industry. Our professional, no-nonsense chat is hosted on Slack where we have organized channels with great discussions about various events and new show announcements, industry trends, presale passwords, buy opportunities and our personal favorite - the "Profits" channel where members share screenshots of their recent profitable sales. Network with other ticket brokers to make new relationships and grow your business. The Slack is also where we post a link to our daily list buy recommendation report each evening, and where our Ticketmaster/Live Nation stock checking tool lives.

• Broker tools - we currently offer two broker tools with additional in development:

  • Price Checking / Event Info Tool: As many brokers know, Ticketmaster closed the URL trick that enabled us to see the price range for a show in advance. Our price checking / event information tool allows members to instantly pull price ranges for Ticketmaster and Live Nation events, as well as ticket limits, presale/public sale times, and more. No more stress or anxiety about being in the dark when it comes to knowing what a show or tour is going to be priced at.

  • Ticketmaster/Live Nation Stock Checking Tool: This tool makes it really easy to see how many tickets are remaining for any Ticketmaster/Live Nation event in an interactive format, so you can see if a show is almost sold out, or if particular sections like GA Floors or Lawns are almost sold out. You can also use the tool to see how big a release was for a particular presale or onsale to get a sense of how many tickets are still being held back. Check out our tool demo here.

• Presale passwords for all events and presale sign up opportunity notifications.
