No. TixTracer compares listings from the marketplaces it covers and sends you to whichever one you choose to complete your purchase. TixTracer never handles payment, delivery or ticket issuance.
Use any TicketNetwork Buy button on TixTracer. TicketNetwork takes 25% off the ticket price and its service fee at its own checkout, with no code to enter. TicketNetwork prices on TixTracer already show the discount, with the price without it crossed out. TicketNetwork sets the discount and can change or end it. More detail on the Trust & Transparency page.
TixTracer is a TicketNetwork affiliate partner, and TicketNetwork offers the 25% off to buyers who reach it through TixTracer’s links. TicketNetwork applies it at its own checkout, sets the offer, and can change or end it. TixTracer earns a commission on those purchases, which doesn’t change what you pay.
Tickets bought on TicketNetwork are covered by TicketNetwork’s own 100% Money-Back Guarantee. It promises that your tickets are legitimate and valid for entry, that they arrive before the event, and that you get the seats you ordered or seats that are comparable or better. If an event is permanently canceled, you get a refund. Postponed or rescheduled events aren’t refunded under the guarantee. The guarantee is TicketNetwork’s, not TixTracer’s, and TicketNetwork’s customer support handles any claim. See TicketNetwork’s guarantee for the full terms. Purchases on other marketplaces are covered by that marketplace’s own policies.
Make sure you got to TicketNetwork by clicking a Buy button on TixTracer (it opens TicketNetwork in a new tab), that you finish buying in that tab, and that an ad or tracking blocker isn't stopping the link from working. Check the price on TicketNetwork before you pay. If the discount still doesn't show, contact TicketNetwork's support, and email us through the Contact page so we can look into it. TicketNetwork sets the discount and can change or end it.
TixTracer earns a commission when you buy through a partner marketplace, currently TicketNetwork and TicketSqueeze. Buying anywhere else earns us nothing, and the commission doesn't change what you pay. When TicketNetwork, our affiliate partner, has tickets for your search, TixTracer shows only the events TicketNetwork lists, and each one links the other marketplaces that list it, with their prices where they share them. If TicketNetwork has nothing for a search, events from the other marketplaces are shown instead. The discount applies only to TicketNetwork purchases. More on the Trust & Transparency page.
No. Prices come from each marketplace's own data and are refreshed regularly, not continuously. The final price, fees and availability are set by the site you buy from and can change before you check out.
Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, TicketNetwork and TicketSqueeze. TicketSqueeze is listed with a link; its prices aren't shown yet.
Open any event and choose Set Price Alert, or use Alerts in the menu. Enter a target price and your email, and TixTracer checks the event's lowest listed price about once an hour and emails you when it reaches your target. The first time you use an address, TixTracer emails you a link to confirm it, and alerts start only after you do. Each alert belongs to the browser you set it in, and every alert email has a link to stop them.
No. Your bookmarks and recent searches are saved in your browser. A price alert needs an email address, which TixTracer uses only to confirm and send that alert, and deletes a couple of days after the event. An address that unsubscribes is kept on a do-not-email list so it can’t be signed up again.
TixTracer doesn't add any fees of its own. TicketNetwork prices include its service fee. For other marketplaces, only prices marked "incl. fees" are known to include theirs, so check the total at checkout. Taxes, if any, are added at the marketplace's checkout.
TixTracer only helps you compare options. Every purchase happens directly on the ticket seller’s own site, under that site’s own terms and policies. TicketNetwork purchases are also covered by TicketNetwork’s 100% Money-Back Guarantee (see Is my purchase protected?).
