About this report

The Ticket Market Pulse tracks the typical (median) resale price and the number of tickets listed for every upcoming concert, sports and theater event we follow, every day. This report freezes the figures at the end of week 42, 2026 so they can be referenced later. For today's numbers see the live Market Pulse.

The Market Pulse Index is the share of events whose market moved that got hotter: a higher typical price or fewer tickets left. 50 is balanced. Events with fewer than 20 listings are excluded, and multi-date runs count once in the rankings.
