How it works
How ThrillTicket Works
We're not a ticket marketplace. We're an independent price intelligence engine that alerts you the moment tickets fall well below market value — so you buy at the right time, not the wrong price.
We Track Prices Continuously
We monitor ticket prices across multiple marketplaces, capturing snapshots over time to build a historical record for each event.
We Estimate Fair Market Value
Our algorithm compares current prices against comparable listings, historical medians, and inventory levels to estimate what a ticket is truly worth.
We Score Every Deal
The Deal Score (0–100) is an explainable composite of discount size, inventory scarcity, price velocity, event demand, and days until the event.
We Alert You the Moment a Deal Appears
Set a price target or Deal Score threshold for any event, artist, or venue. We check prices every 15 minutes and notify you by email or push notification when tickets fall well below market value — before they sell out.
You Buy Through Trusted Marketplaces
We're price intelligence, not a ticket seller. All purchases go directly through established, buyer-guaranteed marketplaces.
We're Fully Independent
Our Deal Score algorithm is not influenced by which marketplace has the highest commission. We rank deals by value to you, not by profit to us.
Understanding the Deal Score
The Deal Score (0–100) is a composite signal — not just a discount calculator. It weighs six factors to produce an explainable, confidence-calibrated score.
| Factor | Max Points |
|---|---|
Price vs. estimated fair value How far below the estimated market price | 0–25 |
Historical value Price vs. 30-day median (confidence-weighted) | 0–20 |
Inventory scarcity Remaining ticket count and trend | 0–20 |
Price velocity Direction of price movement (new low, dropping, stable, rising) | 0–15 |
Event demand Popularity score of the event | 0–10 |
Timing Days until event vs. optimal buy window | 0–10 |
Important Disclaimers
- Fair value estimates are statistical estimates, not guarantees. Actual ticket values depend on many factors.
- Prices can and do change rapidly, especially close to the event. Always verify the current price before purchasing.
- We may earn a commission when you buy tickets through our affiliate links. This does not affect our Deal Score rankings.
- We are not affiliated with any ticket marketplace. We are an independent analysis service.
- Past pricing trends are not a guarantee of future price movements.
