Ticket Sales Monitoring (v1)
The Date Went Up At 08:10. You Knew At 08:11.
ChangeTower watches venue calendars, presale and on-sale pages as often as every 5 minutes, and emails you the moment a date is added or moved.
✓ No credit card · First monitor live in 5 minutes
Every page in this folder is under a monitor. ChangeTower checks it on your schedule, as often as every 5 minutes, stores a dated snapshot each time, and emails you when your criteria are met. Buying still happens on the seller's own site.
The screenshot ChangeTower stored on that check: the page exactly as a visitor saw it, kept with the HTML and never edited.
Detection is content-level. ChangeTower reads the words and the HTML. The screenshot is a dated record of the page, not compared against anything.
One folder for every page a date depends on: venue calendars, tour pages, presale windows, ticket limits, and prices. Open a row to see what changed and how the page looked.
Tell it what matters. It ignores the rest.
A what's-on page changes all day without a single date being added. Write your criteria in plain language, and only matches reach you.
Criteria in your own words.
No rules engine, no hidden thresholds. Say what deserves interrupting your day, and the monitor holds to that.
One rule, written once. The banner rotation is archived quietly; both calendar changes reach you the moment they land.
Behind a cookie banner, a month picker and a fan account? Still watched.
Venue calendars and presale pages are rarely out in the open. Record the steps to reach yours once, and ChangeTower replays them before every check.
Record the steps once. They run before every check.
Sign in, dismiss the banner, choose the month, open the calendar. You record it once and the monitor repeats it.
The same four steps you would do yourself before breakfast, run for you every 5 minutes instead.
From the on-sale alert to the date in your calendar before the queue.

Presale registration opened, closing Tue 21 Jul at 17:00, where the page had shown a holding notice.
Summary: The November calendar went from one Wren & Ivory night to three, 12 to 14 Nov, with an on-sale of Fri 24 Jul at 09:00. Matched your rule.
Sent the moment the 08:10 check found it. Tickets are sold on Ardenfield Arena's own site: ChangeTower watches and tells you, it does not buy, hold or reserve anything.
The November calendar went from one Wren & Ivory night to three, 12 to 14 Nov, and the on-sale line was filled in for the first time. Your four recorded steps reached the signed-in view, and only the date list was read.
Dates are added as they are confirmed with promoters. On-sale times are shown once agreed and may change.
| Date | Event | Tickets |
|---|---|---|
| Thu 12 Nov | Wren & Ivory | On sale Fri 24 Jul, 09:00 |
| Fri 13 Nov | Wren & Ivory | On sale Fri 24 Jul, 09:00 |
| Sat 14 Nov | Wren & Ivory | On sale Fri 24 Jul, 09:00 |
Ticket limits apply and are shown before checkout. Dates may be added, moved or withdrawn.
The screenshot stored on that check: the page exactly as it was reached, kept with its HTML.
Every check in between has a snapshot too, changed or not. All three calendar changes in the last two weeks landed between 07:58 and 08:10: this venue updates its listings before the box office opens.
Turn the cadence up while a tour is being announced, and back down once the dates are out. Every setting here is per monitor.

Nobody discovers these pages in a dashboard. You find them three links deep late at night, and the extension turns that page into a monitor.
From open tab to monitored page, in one click.
A small venue lists its autumn dates weeks before announcing them. Click the icon and the page is monitored.
Autumn dates are being confirmed. New shows are added to this page as they are booked, and on-sale times are published here first.

Wren & Ivory, 09 October. On sale Friday 24 July at 09:00.
Found at midnight, monitored before the tab closes. The what's-on page joins your other monitors, archived from its next check.
The pages that say a date exists.
A venue calendar can add a date at any hour. A ticket limit changes twice a year. Set each page's frequency to match, as often as every 5 minutes.

every 5 min – hourlyWhat people actually use it for.
Know a date exists before the announcement finds you
Venue calendars update hours, sometimes days, before the artist posts: the page changes first and says nothing. Watch the calendar and the date reaches you when it becomes true, not when somebody publicises it.
Catch an on-sale date that moves
On-sale dates get announced, brought forward and pushed back, and often the page is the only place that says so. One monitor turns a detail you were relying on into one you are told.
Follow one artist across every venue and promoter
The tour page, the promoter's listings, the venue's calendar and the festival lineup each update on their own schedule. One monitor per page, all reporting into one place, so you stop opening eight tabs to see what moved.
Learn when a venue actually publishes
Every check stores a dated snapshot, changed or not, so the pattern becomes readable: which mornings dates appear, how long a listing sits before its on-sale, whether limits move before a big run. Guesswork becomes a record you can look up.
Cover a roster instead of a shortlist
Tour marketers, agencies and listings editors track these pages for dozens of artists and venues at once. Give each artist or client a folder, and add a batch of calendar and tour URLs with bulk setup.
Keep the record of what the page said
Advertised prices, ticket limits, entry rules and refund windows all change quietly. Every check leaves a dated snapshot, so what a page said the day a customer bought, or a listing went out, is retrievable rather than remembered.
Watching a roster rather than a shortlist? Bulk setup adds a list of URLs in one pass.
A monitor tells you a date exists. It does not stand in the queue.
Worth knowing before you start: it decides whether this is the right tool for the job.
The announcement layer, where minutes are early
Everything on a page before a ticket is bought: the date going up, the on-sale being set, the presale opening, the rules changing. These pages move quietly, nobody is racing you to read them, and a check every 5 minutes puts you ahead.
- A date added to a venue calendar or a tour page
- An on-sale date published, brought forward or pushed back
- A presale registration page going live, or its window closing
- Lineups, stage times, extended runs and rescheduled nights
- Ticket limits, entry rules, published prices and fees
The on-sale itself, where seconds decide it
ChangeTower checks a page as often as every 5 minutes and emails you what changed. It does not buy, hold, reserve or queue, it does not refresh faster than a person, and it cannot see a seller's remaining inventory. When a hot on-sale opens and clears in 90 seconds, 5 minutes is not what decides the outcome.
- Beating a queue at the moment tickets go live
- Catching a single seat returned to inventory and gone again
- Following resale prices minute by minute
- Buying, holding or reserving anything on your behalf
The honest version: this puts the on-sale in your calendar before the queue exists. What happens after that is between you and the page.
For following dates and on-sales, turn these on.
Four of these do most of the work. The other two decide how you hear about it.
AI Monitoring
Alert criteria in your own words: "tell me when Wren & Ivory add a date, or when an on-sale date is announced or moves." Every change is summarized in plain language, and only the ones matching your rule reach you.
Explore →Manual User Actions
Venue calendars sit behind a cookie banner, a region picker and often a fan account. Record those steps once and ChangeTower replays them before every check, reading the page as you would see it.
Explore →Password-Protected Pages
If the presale page only exists once you are signed in to a fan or membership account, the monitor signs in too. Credentials are stored securely and used only to reach that page.
Explore →Selective Monitoring
Point the monitor at the date list and nothing else. Rotating hero images, "trending now" rails and a footer that changes every deploy stop counting, which is most of what a what's-on page does.
Explore →Scheduled Checks
Set frequency per page: as often as every 5 minutes for the calendar in announcement season, weekly for entry rules that move twice a year. Turn it up while a tour is announced, and back down afterwards.

The alert lands in your inbox with the summary, so a date that went up while you were at work is waiting when you next check your phone. Nothing to install, nothing else to watch.

How does ticket on-sale monitoring work?
You point ChangeTower at the venue calendar, tour page or presale page, record the steps to reach it if a banner or picker is in the way, and it checks as often as every 5 minutes. A new date or a moved on-sale time comes back as an email in plain language.
Will ChangeTower get me tickets when they go on sale?
No. ChangeTower watches a page and tells you what changed. It does not buy, hold, reserve or queue, and it will not fill in a checkout. It changes what you know and when: the date, the on-sale time, the presale window and the ticket limit reach you as soon as the page says so, usually well before the sale.
How quickly will I hear that a date or an on-sale time changed?
The alert goes out on the check that finds the change: as fast as the cadence you set, and checks run as often as every 5 minutes. A date added at 08:07 reaches your inbox around 08:11.
That is early for an announcement, and not early for a sellout. If you are waiting on a queue that opens and clears inside 2 minutes, a 5-minute check is not what decides the outcome. Worth knowing before you start.
Can it tell me when tickets come back in stock?
Only as far as the page says so. If a listing goes from "sold out" to showing availability and holds until the next check, you will hear about it. ChangeTower has no view into a seller's inventory, and a single seat returned and taken again between checks passes unseen. People who need that alerting are better served by a tool built for it. This page earns its place on the layer above: the extra night added, the second run announced, the on-sale that moved.
The presale page is behind a login. Can you still watch it?
Usually, yes. Record the sign-in as one of the steps before each check, and the monitor reaches the same signed-in view you would, fan club account or membership page. Credentials are stored securely and used only to reach that page. The exception is a site that blocks automated access outright: if a page will not load for the monitor, it cannot be watched, and you will see that straight away, not after a month of silence.
The calendar only appears after a banner and a venue picker. Can you still watch it?
That is what manual user actions are for. Record the steps once, in order: accept the cookie banner, sign in, choose the venue or region, open the month you want. ChangeTower replays them before every check, so it reads your view of the page, not the empty shell a visitor sees first.
Can I watch just the date list and ignore the rest?
Yes. Selective monitoring points the monitor at one part of the page: the date list, or the on-sale line. Rotating hero images, "trending now" rails and a footer that changes on every deploy stop counting, which is most of what a what's-on page does all day.
Will I get an alert every time the page twitches?
No rules engine, no hidden thresholds. Say what deserves interrupting your day, and the monitor holds to that.
How many artists, venues and promoters can I follow at once?
Yes. One monitor covers one page, and you can watch as many as your plan allows: four venue calendars, three tour pages and a festival lineup, or one artist across every promoter selling them. All report into one place, so you read one list rather than eight tabs.
Does it work differently for tour marketers and agencies following a roster?
The monitoring is identical. What changes is the organising. Folders keep each artist, client or venue separate, so a tour marketer covering 30 acts is not reading one undifferentiated list, and bulk setup adds a batch of calendar and tour URLs in one pass.
Dated snapshots matter more here: when somebody asks what the ticket limit was on announcement day, or what price band a page advertised before it moved, the record is already there and was never edited.
What is a snapshot, and how long is it kept?
A dated capture of the page: the rendered page and the HTML behind it, stored on every scheduled check, changed or not. Each one carries a precise timestamp and stays retrievable, so you can see what a venue's page said the day a run was announced, or work out which morning of the week its dates appear.
Where do on-sale alerts get sent?
Email, Slack or Microsoft Teams. Email is the usual choice here, since it reaches a phone at the moment the calendar changes.
Can it tell me when an on-sale date moves, not just when one is added?
Yes. On-sale dates get brought forward and pushed back, and often the page is the only place that says so. Both directions are a change, and both reach you.
Does ChangeTower join the queue or buy tickets?
No. It watches the pages and tells you what changed. Buying, queueing and presale codes stay with you, which is also why it works on venue and promoter pages rather than only on the big marketplaces.
