Tech Stack: NestJS, React, PostgreSQL, WebSockets
Tags: #ReverseEngineering #WebSockets #RealTimeMonitoring #Ticketing
✅ Overview
Blue Developments engineered a custom Ticketmaster Ticket Release Monitoring Tool tailored to help ticket resellers and enthusiasts detect real-time ticket drops. The platform continuously monitors Ticketmaster’s backend activity, enabling users to get early access to newly released or re-released tickets.
❌ The Challenge
Ticketmaster does not provide official APIs or notifications for ticket drops. Users had to manually refresh pages, often missing valuable opportunities. The challenge was to create a real-time, scalable monitoring engine using reverse engineering, while avoiding rate limits and detection.
💡 The Solution
We built a multi-layered tool that intercepts real-time ticket socket data and parses it into meaningful alerts:
- Reverse-engineered Ticketmaster Socket Protocols
- Real-time Monitoring via WebSockets
- Admin Dashboard (React) to manage filters & logs
- Instant Notifications via Discord bot and UI feed
- PostgreSQL-based storage for event logs and filtering rules
Users can monitor events, apply filters (by event, price, section), and receive alerts the moment tickets are available.
📈 The Outcome
The tool drastically improved ticket acquisition time and accuracy for clients. With 24/7 monitoring and no manual refresh needed, the platform proved especially effective during high-demand drops (e.g., The Lumineers, Deftones).
🎉 Key Impact:
- Cut monitoring time by 90%
- Over 10,000+ successful ticket notifications
- 99.9% uptime on real-time feed
