What We Cover
Gametime's blog reports on ticket pricing trends, fan behavior, and live event market dynamics using real-time data from our ticketing marketplace. Our coverage focuses on what ticket prices reveal about the moments fans care about most—from playoff races and tour announcements to injury reports and award show nominations.
Who We Are
This coverage is led by Rikki Bleiweiss, Content Lead at Gametime, with support from Gametime's data and editorial teams. Our reporting aims to provide transparent, data-driven insights into the live events industry.
Our Data
All pricing analysis is based on proprietary data from Gametime's ticket marketplace, which processes millions of ticket transactions across sports, concerts, theater, and live events. Our data includes:
- Real-time ticket pricing and sales volumes
- Historical price trends and comparisons
- Fan purchasing behavior and demand patterns
- Market movements tied to news events
Unlike estimated or scraped data, our reporting reflects actual marketplace activity—real tickets listed and sold by real fans and sellers.
Our Approach
We report on ticket pricing the way financial journalists cover stock markets: as a transparent indicator of fan sentiment, market demand, and cultural moments. When ticket prices spike for a Lakers-Celtics game after an injury announcement, or surge for a concert following a surprise album drop, those price movements tell a story about what matters to fans.
Our coverage maintains editorial independence. We report on price drops, market corrections, and buyer behavior objectively—even when those trends don't directly benefit Gametime as a business.
Transparency
Gametime is a mobile-first ticket marketplace where fans buy and sell tickets to live events. While our reporting draws on Gametime's marketplace data, our editorial coverage is separate from our business operations. We disclose this relationship to maintain transparency with readers.
