How we count listings
What the listing counts, shares, lowest all-in prices, section tables and delivery figures on this site measure, and where each marketplace rule comes from.
The events
50 popular upcoming events at US venues, from November 27, 2026 to February 21, 2027: concerts, NFL games, college football games, NBA games, NHL games, college basketball games and Broadway shows. Each one is listed on three or more of the five marketplaces below.
The marketplaces
SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, Ticketmaster resale, StubHub and Gametime. Each reports how many listings it carries for an event. For Ticketmaster, the count is its resale only, not the primary tickets it sells.
What each number means
- Listings are the resale listings a marketplace shows for an event at one reading, 230,084 in all. A listing can hold one ticket or many.
- Tickets add up the quantities on those listings.
- Share is one marketplace’s listings over the five marketplaces’ total for the same events. A broker often lists the same seats on several marketplaces, so a share shows where sellers put tickets. Never add counts across marketplaces as unique seats.
- Most listings names the marketplace with the highest count for an event, a section or an event type.
- Lowest all-in price is the cheapest listing’s price with buyer fees.
- Busiest sections are the sections with the most listings across the marketplaces, matched by section number. A section shows only where three or more marketplaces list it.
- Delivery groups the method each Vivid Seats and StubHub listing names into four: mobile transfer, mobile ticket, PDF or print at home, and paper.
The rules
Every marketplace rule on this site restates a line from the marketplace’s own help, terms or sell page, and each page lists its sources at the bottom. Laws come from the statute itself; where a page cites a company’s summary of a law or a news report, it names the source.
