In the weeks prior to the Super Bowl many sellers post "speculative tickets". In these cases, the seller does not actually own the tickets; rather, they try to acquire the tickets if someone buys them at the price offered. Because of this, the section is unknown for many Super Bowl tickets, and when a section is listed it can be unreliable. We do not show these speculative Super Bowl tickets in order to avoid giving you bad information.
SeatGeek's forecasts are correct at least 85% of the time, on average. We use rigorous out-of-sample testing to evaluate the accuracy of our algorithm. When you see a forecast on SeatGeek, you can be confident that it will be correct more than 85% of the time.
For every event we aggregate the tickets available on all major secondary markets (sites like StubHub, eBay, etc). Our algorithm analyzes whether each ticket is a good or bad deal. The algorithm considers where the ticket is in the stadium/arena, so that worse seats have to be cheaper than good seats in order to be considered a good deal. Out of all the tickets, we select 1-3 tickets that are the absolute biggest steals. We call these tickets the "Best Deal on Earth" because you won't find a better deal anywhere else. If you want to go to an event, we recommend you buy a "Best Deal on Earth" ticket.
You should sign up for an email alert if a price decline is forecasted. After you sign up we will email you when the price reaches its lowest level. This makes it easy to buy tickets at the optimal time. You can also optionally sign up to be alerted when tickets are available below a certain level.
There are cases where we forecast a price to constantly decline all the way to the moment of the event. However, we realize that in these cases you'll still need some time to procure tickets. So we send our email alerts no later than two days before the event. For these alerts, we'll tell you in the email if we forecast the price continuing to decline.
SeatGeek has built a database of millions of historical ticket transactions. We crunch all this data in an algorithm, which spits out 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.
There are seven possible forecasts: sharp decrease, moderate decrease, steady prices, moderate increase, sharp increase, hump, and trough. The first five are rather self-explanatory. A "hump" is a situation where we expect the price to rise in the short term and then fall below its current level. For "troughs" we expect the price to drop in the short term and then rise above its current level. For both humps and troughs, you should wait to buy in order to get the best price.
The historical price graphs show data from actual transactions that we have observed on various ticket secondary markets. The datapoints for each day represent an average of the various ticket sales we have observed.
