Hey I'm the founder of TicketData. This is a side project to our main startup / YC app (hence the barebones design, less than optimal performance, etc). Any feedback / comments / suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Good Question. The amount of tickets re-sold definitely varies greatly depending on what the event is, and it can probably range from anywhere between 0-40%. I'd say for an event like a popular NHL / NBA / NFL / MLB game, the average is somewhere around 15%.
Well, our scrapers take about 2-3 days to complete a loop, so it is indeed possible for you to find dead links here and there...It shouldn't be a large percentage though.
Fortunately, we will have API's from two major source sites within the next few weeks, and that should greatly reduce our dependence on scraping.
If you are selecting a body style from the homepage, its possible that you are de-selecting convertibles and instead searching for everything else (since all styles are depressed by default). You are the third person to mention this, so I definitely think we have a UI issue here. We will definitely figure out a better way to present the options.
Not for nothing, but if you merely zoom in on the picture you can tell that the 'winning' line is a different color with the naked eye. And if you want to 'prove' this, a 10-second color replacement in photoshop does the job: http://i.imgur.com/7Mg4z.png
