Secondary market coverage in sold data
Professional ticket brokers do not guess which events will sell out. They use data. Flare is the ticket broker software that gives you that data in a single dashboard - AI event scores, secondary market sold prices, presale codes, inventory alerts, and artist demand metrics - so you spend less time researching and more time profiting.

What Makes Flare Different From Other Ticket Broker Software

Most tools in this industry focus on what is already happening on the secondary market - showing you what tickets are selling for after the fact. Flare is built around a different question: which events should you be targeting before tickets even go on sale?

The answer comes from the Flare Score - an AI-generated number that measures real local fan demand against available ticket supply for every event in the catalogue. It tells you where to look before the presale opens, before prices climb, and before other brokers pile in. That is the competitive edge professional brokers pay for.

Combined with real-time secondary market data, presale code tracking, drop alerts, and the Price HeatMap, Flare is the only ticket broker software that covers the full event lifecycle from announcement through sale.

The Flare Score: How It Works

The Flare Score is the core of the software. It answers the question every broker is asking before a presale: is there enough real, local demand for this event to drive secondary market prices above face value?

The Flare Score Formula
Active fans within 100 miles of venue
Total ticket quantity for the event
- ranked against
57,000+ events
in the catalogue
The raw demand-to-supply ratio is calculated per event, then ranked against every other scored event in the Flare catalogue to produce a final score from 0 to 737+. Higher score = more fans competing per available ticket = stronger resale signal.

Where the fan data comes from

The "active local fans within 100 miles" number is not an estimate. It is pulled from three real-time sources that measure actual behavior in the specific geographic area around the venue - not nationally, not globally, but within driving distance of where the show is happening.

Spotify
City streaming data

Monthly listener counts by city. Active listeners who have played this artist in the past 28 days in this market - not followers, not saves, but actual streams in that location.

YouTube
City view data

Geographic YouTube view data, particularly useful for Latin, Gospel, and older artists whose fanbases skew more toward video than audio streaming.

Google Ads API
Local search volume

Search volume by location via the Google Ads API. Active searches for an artist in a city are among the strongest signals of purchase intent available anywhere.

The 100-mile radius captures the realistic travel zone for concert-goers. National streaming numbers are deliberately excluded because an artist with 10 million global listeners is irrelevant if the show is in a market where only 80,000 of them live. Flare measures demand where it actually matters - in the city where the event is happening.

Reading the Flare Score

Because the score is a ranking across 57,000+ events rather than a fixed scale, the numbers carry relative meaning. A score of 600 means this event has a higher demand-to-supply ratio than roughly 60% of everything in the Flare catalogue right now. Here is how experienced brokers use the ranges:

500+
Strong buy signal
Prioritize. Research section-level pricing and secure presale access. These are where the best margins live.
200 - 499
Good opportunity
Solid demand signals. Check secondary pricing before committing. Normal capital allocation appropriate.
75 - 199
Worth researching
Margins may be thinner. Verify secondary market pricing before buying. Smaller positions appropriate.
Below 75
Proceed with caution
Demand-to-supply ratio is weak relative to the catalogue. Most experienced brokers pass at this range.
No score
Insufficient location data
No location data available. Not a fail signal - common for stadium tours. Use Popularity Score and secondary research instead.

Everything Else Flare Does

The Flare Score is the headline feature but it is one component of a complete ticket broker software system. Here is what else is inside the dashboard:

📊

Price HeatMap

See which sections of any venue are commanding the highest secondary market premiums - before the presale opens. Buy the right seats from the start instead of guessing which section will perform best.

Presale Passwords

Every major presale code for upcoming Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and AXS events in one place. Never miss a presale window. Buy at face value before the secondary market opens.

⚙

Drop and Low Alerts

Get notified automatically when ticket inventory in a section drops below your threshold - meaning real buyers are working through supply - or when more tickets are released that could add competitive pressure to your listings.

📈

Secondary Market Sold Data

See exactly what tickets are selling for across StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and other major platforms in real time. 98% secondary market coverage means you have the full picture on any event.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ticket broker software?
Flare by TicketFlipping is purpose-built ticket broker software that combines AI event scoring, real-time secondary market data, presale code tracking, and inventory alerts in one dashboard. It scores over 57,000 events using Spotify listener data, YouTube views, and Google search volume by location - so you can identify the strongest resale opportunities before tickets go on sale.
What does the Flare Score measure?
The Flare Score measures local fan demand relative to available ticket supply for a specific event. It divides the number of active fans within 100 miles of the venue by the total ticket quantity, then ranks that ratio against 57,000+ events in the catalogue. A higher score means more fans are competing per available ticket - a strong indicator of secondary market resale potential.
What data sources does Flare use to score events?
Flare combines three real-time local data sources: Spotify monthly listener counts by city, YouTube geographic view data, and Google search volume by location via the Google Ads API. These signals are weighted together to produce a composite local fan count, which is divided by the event's ticket quantity to generate the score.
Is Flare ticket broker software free?
Flare is included with all paid TicketFlipping memberships starting at $99/month. It is not available as a free standalone tool. TicketFlipping does offer a free Roadmap training that explains how the software works and how professional brokers use it to find profitable events before committing to a membership.
What is the difference between the Flare Score and the Popularity Score?
The Flare Score measures local demand vs ticket supply at a specific event - it accounts for the venue size and the artist's actual listener presence in that specific city. The Popularity Score (0-100) comes directly from Spotify and reflects the artist's global popularity. An artist can have a Popularity Score of 94 (like Bruno Mars) but a very low Flare Score if they are playing a 50,000-seat stadium where ticket supply dwarfs local demand. Both signals are visible in the Flare dashboard and complement each other.
Does a high Flare Score guarantee the tickets will be profitable to resell?
No - and this is important to understand. The Flare Score measures demand intensity relative to supply. It does not account for the face value of the tickets or the current secondary market get-in price, both of which directly determine your actual resale margin. A high score tells you where the demand is strong. Whether there is enough margin between face value and what secondary buyers will pay requires checking the secondary market pricing alongside the score. Flare's sold data view gives you this information in the same dashboard.
What other tools does TicketFlipping provide beyond Flare?
The TicketFlipping Toolbox includes the Flare Event Dashboard, the Toolbox Chrome Extension for real-time primary market ticket counting on Ticketmaster and other platforms, the Price HeatMap for section-level secondary pricing, drop and low alerts, 98% secondary market sold data coverage, an AI broker assistant, and the full TicketFlipping training course.
