I built TicketData – Ticket price trends and data for Sports & Concerts

14 years ago, I launched my original version of TicketData via a Show HN. While the public site didn't get traction, the data proved valuable to those in the ticketing industry, and it became a B2B data product that's kept me busy ever since. I'm now relaunching the front-end site as a totally free and public tool for anyone to make smarter decisions when buying tickets for live events. The re-launched site shows live resale price charts (using data from sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, etc) that update as often as every few minutes. You can see price history for the cheapest…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

14 years ago, I launched my original version of TicketData via a Show HN. While the public site didn't get traction, the data proved valuable to those in the ticketing industry, and it became a B2B data product that's kept me busy ever since. I'm now relaunching the front-end site as a totally free and public tool for anyone to make smarter decisions when buying tickets for live events. The re-launched site shows live resale price charts (using data from sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, etc) that update as often as every few minutes. You can see price history for the cheapest tickets ("Get In Price"), or for pre-defined zones (like Floor seats), or you can set up your own custom zone across any sections or rows (for example "Floor Center, Rows 1-10"). You can also set alerts for when prices go above or below whatever threshold you set. Many of the larger events also include a forecast of where prices will go next. Those are based on years of historical data combined with the live data and other inputs (like sales data and a whole bunch of other variables…opponent, day of week, venue capacity, etc) passed through a model built in XGBoost. I'm slowly rolling out the forecast feature to more events as the models get refined and I'm confident in the accuracy for different event types/genres. In addition to all the data for upcoming events, there are currently about 2.5 years of historical data live on the site. If there is sustained interest, I'll work on getting data all the way back to 2011 loaded in. Here are a few examples: [Upcoming Event] Paul McCartney next week: https://www.ticketdata.com/events/12435572 [Past Event] Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders (Monday Night) https://www.ticketdata.com/events/1174976 All 8 of Oasis's North American concerts this summer: https://www.ticketdata.com/events/compare?ids=1006457%2C1006... Or to see your cheapest local shows happening this weekend, click the "Local" + "This Weekend" filters on the homepage: https://www.ticketdata.com/ Feedback appreciated!

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.shashanktomar.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

    Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
