How prices move as the show gets closer

Shows that have already happened, in the last 120 days: the cheapest price we held before the show against the last price we held on the day. A minus means cheaper than the final price.

Median cheapest price before the show against the final price, with the number of shows behind each figure

Median price is the median cheapest price at that point, then the median final price of the same shows. "vs final" is the median of each show's own change. Based on 1,392 finished shows.

How the NeedATicket US Resale Price Index is made

  • We record the cheapest listed price for each event on the StubHub International marketplace. We do not sell tickets.
  • Every figure is a median across events, so a handful of very expensive or very cheap events cannot move it far.
  • A change is measured against the price we held for the same event 7 or 30 days earlier. Events we were not yet tracking then are left out of that figure.
  • A move of more than four times up or down is treated as a data fault and left out.
  • Football matches whose tickets may not legally be resold are excluded.
  • Each figure is shown only when enough events stand behind it.
