SeatGeek forecasts the price of sports and concert tickets. So before buying tickets to an event, you can check SeatGeek for a price forecast. If the price is going up, you'll want to buy your tickets right away. SeatGeek makes that easy by pulling together the best deals we find from the biggest ticket online ticket markets. If the price is going down, you may want to wait to buy till the price reaches rock-bottom. SeatGeek makes this simple--just sign up for an email alert, and we'll send you an email when it's the best time to buy. Easy, huh?
SeatGeek is a free tool that saves you money. By telling you when prices are lowest, we make it cheaper for you to go to games and concerts. We hope you like it, let us know what you think!
SeatGeek has built an extensive database of ticketing data. We crunch this data in an algorithm which generates price forecasts. For each sale, we also consider other factors that influence whether prices go up or down. For example, for baseball tickets, we take into account things like the team's records, whether the teams are in a playoff race, the weather, the venue, the price of the seat, the pitchers, and many, many other factors.
SeatGeek's technology is patent-pending and was built with the aid of several PhDs on our team. It performs well on out-of-sample tests of accuracy. Our algorithm is self-training, so the accuracy of its forecast improves every day.
