How does TicketScout work?
TicketScout monitors official monument ticket and reservation inventory around the clock. We compare newly available slots against the dates, times, monument, and party details you saved in your alert. We monitor the minute-to-minute availability so you don't have to. When a match appears, TicketScout sends a notification with a direct link so you can book on the official site.
Does TicketScout book tickets for me?
By default, TicketScout is an alerting service that notifies you when matching availability is found so you can book on the official site. However, with the Autopilot add-on, TicketScout will automatically book tickets for you the moment a match is detected — using your saved party details to complete the reservation instantly.
Are alerts guaranteed to result in tickets?
No. Availability can disappear in seconds, and other travelers may book the slot before you complete checkout. TicketScout notifies you quickly, but it cannot guarantee the slot will still be there when you click through — this is where having Wanderlust status matters the most! Better yet, simply add Autopilot and we'll book for you the moment we find matching availability.
Which monuments are supported at launch?
TicketScout currently supports Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Notre Dame in Paris.
Do you offer monitoring for additional monuments like the Louvre or Sainte-Chapelle?
Not yet! We launched with the three most popular Paris attractions but we're working on adding more all the time. If there's a monument you feel particularly passionate about, email us at [email protected].
Why does TicketScout ask for party size, ages, and sometimes traveler names?
Some monument booking flows require the exact party size — and sometimes names and ages — to reveal real availability. TicketScout stores this information so your alert matches actual booking conditions. We never share this information with anyone — it is only shared with the official ticketing agency when booking on your behalf, per our Privacy Policy.
How many alerts can I create?
That depends on your plan. Wanderer is limited to one active alert with a 7-day monitoring window. Explorer supports up to two monuments with Email + SMS delivery. Globetrotter supports up to five monuments with priority delivery including Pushover. Paid plans stay active for 31 days.
Why does TicketScout recommend Pushover?
Pushover delivers push notifications to your phone in under 5 seconds — far faster than email for same-minute openings where every second counts. We cover your Pushover license for Globetrotter users — download the Pushover app for Android or iPhone and TicketScout sends you a setup link automagically!
Do I need a TicketScout subscription and a Pushover account?
You can use the free Wanderer monitoring window without Pushover. Globetrotter plans include Pushover setup — we cover the license cost. Just download the Pushover app and TicketScout sends you a setup link automagically!
Can I stop notifications after I book?
Yes. You can pause or delete the alert from your dashboard after you secure tickets, or update the alert criteria if you want TicketScout to keep monitoring for a better time.
Is TicketScout affiliated with the official ticket operators?
No. TicketScout is an independent alerting service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Eiffel Tower ticket office, Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE), Centre des monuments nationaux, the official Notre Dame reservation platform, or any other monument operator.
