The lowest price moves when the cheapest listing changes: a seller cuts a price, a buyer takes the cheap ticket, or new tickets arrive below the rest. The listing count tells you which one happened.
Read price and listings together
- Price down, listings up: more sellers, more competition. Prices tend to ease.
- Price up, listings down: buyers took the cheap tickets and nobody replaced them.
- Both down: listings leave and the rest cut prices, a common pattern as a show gets close.
- Both up: new tickets came in above the old floor, often after the cheap ones went.
What the 100 shows did
Over the last 30 days on record, listings fell at 83 of 100 shows, with a median change of 21% down. Of the 69 shows that lost 10% or more of their listings, the lowest price rose at 31, fell at 24 and stayed within 5% at 14. Of the 9 that gained 10% or more, it fell at 6 and rose at none.
Fewer listings did not mean higher prices at most shows. Sellers holding tickets close to the date often cut prices to sell, so the cheapest listing can fall even as the count shrinks.
