Ticket reselling Discord and cook groups

A cook group is a paid community, usually on Discord, where resellers share information about upcoming drops. The name comes from sneaker reselling ("cooking" a release); ticket cook groups apply the same idea to concerts, sports and festivals.

What you get in a ticket reselling Discord

  • Alerts: channels where restock and drop alerts land the second tickets come back.
  • Release info: presale dates, presale codes, on-sale times and which shows are worth buying.
  • Analysis: which events are selling on resale, at what price, and which to skip.
  • Help: guides on buying, listing, ticket transfers and delivery.

Where the alerts come from

Behind the alert channels there is a ticket monitor: software that watches ticketing sites and posts to a Discord webhook when something changes. The quality of a group's alerts depends on its monitors: how many sites they cover, how fast they fire and how well they are filtered.

Many cook groups run their monitors on Eventory: restock, stock-drop and price-change alerts on 50+ ticketing sites, delivered to the group's own Discord channels with the section, quantity and price.

What to look for before you join

  • Coverage: which sites and countries the alerts cover.
  • Speed: an alert that arrives after the tickets are gone is worthless.
  • Signal over noise: alerts filtered to the sections and prices worth buying.
  • Track record: members' results and how long the group has been running.
  • Price vs your volume: a group pays for itself only if you act on its alerts.

Running your own alerts

You don't need a group to get alerts. Eventory Monitors send restocks for the events you choose to your own Discord, Slack, Telegram or WhatsApp. And if you run a cook group, see Eventory for cook groups.

Cook groups vs running your own monitors

Both get you alerts. The difference is control:

  • A cook group chooses which events to watch and shares the alerts with all members. You get research and community, but you share every alert with everyone else in the group.
  • Your own monitors watch exactly the events and sections you choose, and the alerts go only to you or your team.

Many resellers do both: a group for information and their own monitors for the events they care about most.

What a good ticket alert looks like

Whichever route you choose, a useful alert answers the questions you need to act on in seconds:

  • Which event and which site, with a direct link.
  • Which section and how many tickets.
  • The price, and ideally whether it is a primary restock or a resale listing.
  • When it happened, so you know if it is still worth trying.

Eventory alerts carry the section, the quantity and the price, with a link to the event.

Setting up alerts in your own Discord

  1. Create a channel for alerts (for example #restocks) in your server.
  2. Create a Discord webhook for that channel in the channel settings.
  3. Add the webhook to Eventory and choose it as the destination for your monitors.
  4. Use filters per event so only the alerts you would act on reach the channel.

Red flags in paid ticket groups

  • Promises of guaranteed profit.
  • No clear list of which sites and countries the alerts cover.
  • Alerts that consistently arrive after the tickets are gone.
  • Pressure to buy everything that is posted, without analysis.
