Deal Score is SeatGeek’s way of helping you quickly understand the value of a ticket.
Instead of looking only at price, Deal Score considers factors like seat location, expected view, ticket availability, historical prices, and comparable listings to estimate how good of a deal a ticket is.
A higher Deal Score generally means you are getting more value for the price compared to other available tickets.
How does Deal Score help me find tickets?
Deal Score helps you compare ticket options more easily, especially when there are many listings for the same event.
The lowest-priced ticket is not always the best value. A ticket that costs more may have a better Deal Score if it offers a better location, view, access, or overall value compared to similar listings.
You can use Deal Score to quickly identify strong ticket options and make a more informed decision before buying.
What is a good Deal Score?
Deal Scores range from 1 to 10.
- A higher Deal Score means a better value
- A score of 10 means the listing is one of the best ticket deals available on SeatGeek for that event
- A score of 1 means the listing may not be the best deal compared to other available options
How is Deal Score calculated?
SeatGeek considers many factors when calculating Deal Score, including:
- Historical ticket prices for the performer, team, venue, and/or event
- Seat location, including section and row
- Expected sightline or view from the section
- Ticket quantity available in the listing
- Seat Perks and special amenities
- Seat type
- The quality and price of other available tickets for the event
Deal Scores are based on a consistent scale, meaning a higher Deal Score is always considered a better deal than a lower Deal Score.
What do the colored dots on the map mean?
The colored dots on the SeatGeek map represent available ticket listings. These dots are also called pins.
Each pin is mapped to the listing’s general section and row.
The color of each pin reflects its Deal Score:
-
Green pins generally represent stronger ticket deals
-
Red pins generally represent lower-value ticket deals
-
Blue pins mean Deal Score cannot be calculated for that listing
Note:
A Deal Score pin does not represent exact seat numbers. Because ticket sellers may not always provide specific seat information, your seats may be located anywhere in the indicated row, but seats in the same listing will be together.
What does a blue Deal Score mean?
Blue is used when SeatGeek cannot calculate a Deal Score for a listing.
This can happen when SeatGeek does not have enough information about the listing, such as when section names, row details, or other ticket information are formatted in a way that cannot be compared confidently.
A blue Deal Score does not necessarily mean the listing is a bad deal. It means SeatGeek does not have enough information to assign a score.
Does Deal Score guarantee a ticket is the best choice?
No. Deal Score is designed to help you compare ticket value, but the best ticket for you depends on your preferences.
Some fans prioritize price, while others care more about sitting closer to the stage, field, court, or ice. Deal Score is one tool that can help you compare options and make a more informed choice.
