TixTracer Search Tickets

Trust & Transparency

Last updated: August 2026

TixTracer searches Ticketmaster and SeatGeek at the same time, so you can compare both in one place. Here's how it works.

💵
How we make money
No affiliate partnerships are active yet. This box updates the moment that changes.
⚖️
How rankings work
Deal Score is based on price comparison only. Compensation, if any exists later, will never factor in.
🎟️
Who sells your ticket
Every purchase happens on Ticketmaster's or SeatGeek's own site. TixTracer never touches the transaction.
📊
Where prices come from
Ticketmaster's and SeatGeek's own public data, pulled live. Prices can change before you check out.

How TixTracer Works

Search once, and TixTracer queries Ticketmaster and SeatGeek at the same time, merges events that match across both, and shows them side by side so you don't have to check each site separately.

How Deal Score Works

Every listing TixTracer can price gets a Deal Score from 1–10, based on how its price compares to other sources for the same event and to that event's own price history over time:

An event needs enough price history for the score to mean anything. Until then, it shows "Not Enough Data Yet" rather than a guess dressed up as a number. Deal Score is a comparison signal, not a guarantee that a listing is the objectively right choice for you; you can also sort by price or date directly instead.

What "Event-Level" Comparison Means

TixTracer currently compares events, not individual seats. What you see is each source's lowest listed price for an event, not a specific section, row, or seat. Two listings at the same price could be very different seats, since the free tier of the Ticketmaster and SeatGeek APIs TixTracer uses doesn't expose that level of detail. Section, row, and seat-level pricing is on the roadmap as TixTracer adds more sources.

Ticket Price and Fee Limitations

Prices shown on TixTracer are pulled from Ticketmaster's and SeatGeek's own public data at the time you search. Final pricing, fees, and availability are controlled entirely by whichever site you buy from, and can differ from what TixTracer displayed. Always confirm the real total on their checkout page before paying.

When either API doesn't return usable pricing for an event (this happens more than we'd like on the free access tier), TixTracer can optionally fill in with clearly-labeled sample data so the page isn't just blank. You'll always see "(sample pricing)" next to anything that isn't a real number pulled from Ticketmaster or SeatGeek.

Third-Party Marketplace Relationships

Event listings, pricing, and checkout all happen on Ticketmaster's or SeatGeek's own platforms, not TixTracer's. TixTracer isn't responsible for ticket delivery, refunds, or customer support for a purchase made on either site; that's between you and whichever one you bought from. Showing a marketplace's name doesn't imply they endorse or sponsor TixTracer.

💰
Affiliate & Compensation Disclosure
As of this writing, TixTracer has no affiliate or advertising partnerships in place. Clicking through to Ticketmaster or SeatGeek doesn't currently earn TixTracer anything. If that changes, this notice will be updated to say so plainly, including whether it affects how listings are sorted or displayed.

Our Commitment

TixTracer is a comparison tool, not a ticket seller, and it shouldn't be mistaken for one. If anything on this page or elsewhere on the site feels unclear or missing, that's worth knowing about. Reach out at contact@tixtracer.com.
