Sold out? How alerts and Dibs get you a fan's spare ticket

11 November 2026

Sold out rarely means gone for good. Plans change between the on-sale and the show, and those tickets belong with another fan at the price they were bought for.

Alerts

Open the event and set a free alert. The moment a fan lists a ticket for it, we email you. You can manage your alerts from your account.

Dibs

Approve PayPal once and set your limits: how many tickets, the most you will pay per ticket, and standing, seated or either. When matching tickets are listed, we buy them for you before anyone else can. No money is taken when you set it up, you are only charged if Dibs buys, and never above your cap. Cancel it any time from your alerts.

Every price is capped

The ticket price is never more than face value plus the original booking fee, and you see every line, including our 12% fee, before you pay. Every order is covered by the Tickets9 Guarantee.

Find your event and set an alert from its page.
