Questions

Frequently asked questions

Short answers about the report.

Is the report free?
Yes. Enter your first name and email and we email you the PDF within a few minutes. There is nothing to buy.
Which marketplaces does it cover?
Ticketmaster and AXS primary tickets. Secondary listings are not counted. Before May 2026, Flare tracked the Ticketmaster events brokers favorited. Since May 2026 it tracks all Ticketmaster events. AXS events are tracked when brokers favorite them. Sports games are included only when favorited. Ticketmaster counts include some code-only presale and promo tickets (about 2%).
What is a drop?
New tickets put on sale after the public onsale, where the primary ticket count went up and stayed up. The onsale itself, presale openings, secondary listings and changes under 20 tickets are not counted. The full list is in the report.
Does the report show what future shows will do?
No. The lists describe the past 12 months (shows dated Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026). They show where tickets were added. We do not predict what a future show will do. Use the lists to decide which shows to watch more closely.
Can members get it?
Yes. Use the same form, or email us at mail@ticketflipping.com and we will send it. You can also set drop alerts on the shows at these venues in Flare (Expert and above).
Is TicketFlipping affiliated with Ticketmaster, AXS or these venues?
No. TicketFlipping is not affiliated with Ticketmaster, AXS or the venues, artists and teams named. Names are used only to describe tracked ticket counts.
