For ticket brokers part of being in the ticket resale business is tracking and finding ticket drops, or when previously unavailable tickets become available from the primary seller. Ticket Drop Checker is the newest tool to help brokers find these ticket drops, and help increase their bottom line.
Launched in mid-August, the site allows for users to monitor between 25 to 500 different events, with subscription prices ranging from $79.95 to $1,095.95 per month. Tony Buonopane, president of Ticket Drop Checker, told TicketNews that he created the site because there were not enough dependable ticket drop tools on the market.
“We subscribed to other sites and they were not always reliable,” he said adding that they often took a long time to notify their customers about ticket drops. He also added that because his company has live agents, rather than an automated system, it allows for quicker updates.
Ticket Drop Checker also differs from its competitors by allowing for users to keep an eye on more events, while also allowing for their subscribers to get alerts about ticket drops via text messaging.
The site already has more than 30 subscribers in its young age, a number that continues to grow. As the company looks to expand, they have big plans for the future of its service. Some features they will be looking to add include a tool to have Ticket Drop Checker purchase the tickets for the user when they become available, the ability to monitor events by section of the venue and a tool that will analyze market trends.

How long have you been working for them, Kevin? As the other, non-biased broker stated, the service does not work well and isn’t worth the money. This is why they only have thirty subscribers and why I cancelled my subscription after one month.
As a Representative of Ticket Drop Checker I can tell you that we have had no Cancellations of Our Service thus Far. We have had a Few Trials that did not work out but this is mainly due to the Users Inability to use the Site as Designed.
The Idea of a Drop Checker is to have as many events as possible AT ALL TIMES so you receive Multiple Notications. On Average, Ticket Drop Checker sends out approximately 200 to 300 Drop Notications Per Day.
Also, since we only started the Service a Month Ago, and started with 1 Subscribe. As of today we have 40 Subscribers. (All Of which I might add are satisfied since they are using the Tool as Designed.) That transalates to a an impressive Customer Percentage Increase over a 30 Day Span.
Finally, since this site is in Direct Competition with another Drop Checking Site, you can expect negative feedback from our Competitors which what this Posting truly is.
We offer a Free trial, so sign up and give it a Test Drive. You will not be disappointed.
Been trying this service for 2 weeks. Doesn’t seem to work very well. We used it for a few “sold out” events but periodically found available tickets when checking ourselves but never received a notification from this service.
It also just tells you if ANY tickets become available (at least it’s suppose to – we have yet to receive a notification). All brokers know only select seats sell well.
I highly recommend you push for a free trial before commiting any money.
Isn’t any automated tool manipulating Tm system illegal?
“He also added that because his company has live agents, rather than an automated system, it allows for quicker updates” this would also mean that it complies with all TM terms of service agreements
this thing is amazing i recently just signed up for 100 events and i am getting drops every 30 minutes this tool works there is no doubt about it if you pick the right events to watch you will double your profits i also love the text message alerts and horn that goes off when tickets drop its so fast it blows away my other drop checker.

Been Using the Service for a few weeks. Doesn’t Detect Every Drop, but it sure does detect a bunch!
Especially if you sign up for 100 Events. Since I know that sometimes only a few tickets are dropped for an event, the missed notifications are understandable.
I have already paid for my subscription 4 Times Over and I still have a few weeks before the Next Billing Period.
Highly Recommended!
We have used this tool for a couple months now and it is definitely worth the monthly fee. We watch 50 events and get at least one drop a day.
Hoping for more features soon, but overall we are very happy!
Wow. I am getting Drops constantly. More than I can buy. Highly Recommended!!!
garbage, do not buy !
Wow. I am getting Alerts like Crazy. Since they Upgrade to Selective Criterias, I am only getting Alerts for the Tickets I want to buy.
This Tool is wonderful!
