How much do resale concert ticket prices move from day to day?
Across about 1,200 US concerts tracked daily from September to early November 2026, the lowest listed resale price was unchanged on most days, but at 47% to 68% of shows (depending on the site) it moved by a fifth or more overnight at least once. At 18% to 28% of shows the highest daily low was at least double the lowest.
TourTicketCompare is an independent, unofficial site and does not sell tickets. Some outbound ticket links earn a commission, which never changes what gets published — see the affiliate disclosure and the editorial policy.
Most days, the cheapest resale ticket for a concert costs the same as it did the day before. But when it moves, it can move a lot. TourTicketCompare keeps a daily record of the lowest listed price on Vivid Seats, TicketNetwork and StubHub International for the shows it tracks. For US shows with at least 30 days of prices between 1 September and 2 November 2026, the lowest listing was unchanged from one day to the next about two times in three. Yet at about half of shows it jumped or fell by 20% or more overnight at least once.

No single artist made up more than about 10% of any site's shows. Sites list different seats with different fees, so this does not compare one site with another.
What it looks like
Vivid Seats, lowest listed price at the last check of the day (days in UTC):
Gracie Abrams, Inglewood, 19 December 2026. About $90 on 1 September 2026, down to $32 on 23 October.
Gracie Abrams, Oakland, 6 December 2026. About $99 on 2 September 2026, down to $33 on 31 October.
Those two fell, but big moves went both ways. A price that drops overnight can come back the next day.
The second night of a run is not cheaper
Some fans assume the extra date added to a sold-out run is the cheap one. TourTicketCompare compared back-to-back nights by the same artist at the same venue, using each night's typical lowest listing in October 2026. On Vivid Seats, the second night was cheaper in 85 of 223 pairs and dearer in 102. On TicketNetwork it was cheaper in 96 of 210 and dearer in 80, and on StubHub International cheaper in 77 of 193 and dearer in 94. There was no consistent pattern either way.
What this does and doesn't say
It is the lowest listed price, not every seat. A big move can be one cheap listing appearing or selling, not every ticket changing price.
It is daily, not live. Prices can change several times a day. This records the last check of each day.
It is not a forecast. It shows how often prices moved, not which way the next move will go.
It is US shows only, and covers September to early November 2026.
A listed price is not a checkout total. Fees, delivery and seat location differ between listings and between sites.
Prices below $5 or above $1,200 were left out as placeholders or outliers.
Because prices can change overnight, check the time next to any price before you buy. For the current listed price of any show, open the artist's page. The guide to why ticket prices change explains what moves them.
Across more than 100 US tours tracked in autumn 2026, the lowest listed resale price in Pittsburgh, Nashville and Miami was below the tour's typical price on both Vivid Seats and TicketNetwork in both September and October. New York and San Francisco were above it every time.
TourTicketCompare compared the lowest listed resale price for 1,072 upcoming US concert dates in early October and early November 2026, each site against itself. Falls outnumbered rises 1,201 to 621. Greta Van Fleet and Gracie Abrams dates fell most; John Summit and Don Omar dates rose.
Across 1,608 US concerts on newly listed tours in autumn 2026, the lowest listed resale price two weeks after TourTicketCompare first recorded it was lower at 49% of shows and higher at 24%. Prices fell about twice as often as they rose, but there was no fall at half the shows.
