Research-based price optimization
Promoters are often forced to rely on historical data or “gut feel” when it comes to determining ticket prices.
We use a proprietary auction model where fans pay what they think is fair. Some fans will think it’s worth more; others will place less value.
Using a sealed-bid mechanism, no one knows what anyone else bid — so you aren’t incentivized to outbid/underbid someone else.
Then, we run seven auctions over the same number of days. A bid on day one is automatically entered into the following day’s auction, until the person gets a ticket or all auctions have run.
The result? Fans determine the optimal price for you.
Historic box office data does not represent the current market conditions, nor does it help discover the individual price each fan is willing to pay for a concert ticket.
Pay what you want
Academic and economic research finds that auction pricing in the primary market significantly improves price discovery, roughly doubles artist revenues and disincentivizes secondary market players from scooping up low-priced tickets and reselling them on the secondary market.
Hosted solution
