We double checked that. $69 (excl. fees) seems to be not available on all dates. We could not find a case where the price we show are not correct.

You can check prices by date by using the calendar button above the section with the product listings at: https://www.ticketlens.com/en/g7758

I'd say then the "Select an Offer" section feels a bit misleading.

Using our example, I'm seeing "headout.com - available today". The impression I get from this is I am able to get a ticket for today. Looking on the right, I see "from $86.25". This gives me the impression that I can get a ticket for today, starting as low as $86.

Clicking through the link however shows the tickets for today are $159. I get that on headout.com, when they say "from $69" they are implying there are days where tickets are $69, and I think it comes from nothing on their site saying "available today".

On your site however, I read it as I mentioned above. As my first click through resulted in an unexpected price hike (again, from my expectations, not reality), I had the same mental connection I have looking at coupons on RetailMeNot - I assume that most of the coupons are bogus or personal affiliation links. Not knocking the product, but this was my "user experience" interacting with it for the first time.
