Broker Buds

Broker Buds is a subscription-based community for professional ticket brokers, offering resources and support to help members make informed decisions and grow their businesses. Its services include daily event analysis and specific buying recommendations, with suggested cities, seating sections, and price points informed by more than 20 years of brokering experience. Members can also join a Slack-based broker chat with more than 250 professional ticket brokers, using organized channels to discuss events and the industry, share new-show announcements, and identify drops and buying opportunities.

Broker Buds provides customized tools for ticket-market research, including features to check prices for Ticketmaster and Live Nation events before they go on sale and monitor primary-market ticket availability. Additional benefits include one-on-one support and business advice, event sign-up alerts, presale passwords, introductions to industry partners, networking opportunities, and practical tips. The service is priced at $99 per month, and the website advertises a limited-time offer of 14 days free followed by a $99 first month.
