SeatGeek's Smart Pricing is a feature which gets you the most out of selling your tickets! A multi-faceted algorithm considers various factors (like historical sales, event data, real-time supply and demand data, and more) to actively and automatically re-price your tickets so they sell at the best possible prices without you needing to do any extra work!
Note:
Not all events or listings are eligible for Smart Pricing at this time. SeatGeek plans to expand Smart Pricing eligibility in the near future.

When is the best time to list tickets for sale?
It is always best to list your tickets as far in advance from the date of the event as possible. As the event date approaches, ticket prices tend to drop. List your tickets sooner to maximize returns and the likelihood of your tickets selling.
How long will it take for an initial price to be set?
It will usually only take 5 minutes for Smart Pricing to set your first listing price, but it may take up to 10 minutes. As soon as that initial price is set, you will receive an email from SeatGeek to confirm that your tickets are listed.
What is a minimum price?
A minimum price allows you to predetermine the lowest amount your tickets will sell for. Once a minimum price is set, Smart Pricing will not allow your listing to fall below your minimum price. You can edit or remove your minimum price at any point until the listing sells!
Why isn't my minimum price being accepted?
Some events, teams, and/or event promoters may have rules affecting ticket prices. There may be a ceiling or set price range for your minimum price. These are to allow Smart Pricing to operate effectively and within any existing rules on ticket sales for the event. If any rules apply to your listing, we will display them as you set your minimum price.
Minimum price ceilings and ranges will be displayed as you set your minimum price like in the images below.
If there is already a minimum price set as part of the event's rules, you will see a screen like the following:
Are there additional fees associated with using the Smart Pricing feature?
Smart Pricing does not charge any additional fees at this time. Standard selling fees still apply.
How often will Smart Pricing reprice my listing?
Smart Pricing will actively reprice your tickets up to once every five minutes as needed.
How can I track price updates?
The current price of your listing will always be visible in your account under Tickets. Simply tap on the tickets that you are selling and you will be able to see the listing price. This displayed price will update in realtime with Smart Pricing.
Why did I get a message saying my tickets are no longer being Smart Priced?
This could happen for a few reasons, including your event date becoming "TBD". If this happens, the price of your listed tickets will be the last price set by Smart Pricing. You will have the option to keep this price or make manual updates as you see fit.
Why didn’t my ticket sell with Smart Pricing?
The SeatGeek Marketplace relies on supply and demand and so SeatGeek cannot guarantee that listed tickets will sell under any circumstances. Check out our Seller Terms for more info!
Why am I unable to edit my Smart Priced listing?
Smart Priced listings can be edited on a desktop or laptop. Just go to Tickets in your account while using a laptop or desktop computer. Smart Priced listings are not currently editable on a mobile device or the SeatGeek app.
Why isn't my deal score higher?
Smart Pricing optimizes your listing for the entire time that it is listed.
Can I opt out of Smart Pricing?
Yes! When listing your tickets on the SeatGeek Marketplace, you will be able to toggle smart pricing on or off as needed. If you toggle Smart Pricing off, you will be given the option to use the most recent price set by Smart Pricing or to set a new price of your choice for the listing.
