Forecast Ticket Prices

SeatGeek Web HOR

Between Ticketmaster’s monopoly and a plethora of web-resellers working the system, it’s nearly impossible for the average Joe to buy a fairly priced ticket these days. Enter SeatGeek. The guys behind the site have harnessed Google-like data crunching to give us fans a fighting chance.

Using its massive database of historical ticket pricing, SeatGeek works to forecast the best time to buy tickets for music and athletic events. If the tickets to a user’s chosen event are going up, SeatGeek will urge him to buy right away; if the geeks forecast the price of tickets will fall, they’ll send users a free email when they’ve determined it’s the best time to buy. On the site’s homepage, the geeks feature the hottest game and concert tickets, “great time to buy” tickets, and a convenient search bar. CNET and TechCrunch both like the site – so much so that SeatGeek was recognized as a TechCrunch50 Finalist.
