Shameless Plug: I work for an NYC-based startup - SeatGeek.com - that is basically this[1]. We used to do forecasting but found that wasn't really useful[2] or worth the time it took to maintain, so we nixed it. - [1]: As an example, here is the Firefly event the OP was scraping. : https://seatgeek.com/firefly-music-festival-tickets - [2]: We haven't included Craigslist because the data is much less structured and inexperienced users may have a Bad Time™. YMMV - [3]: It was also a royal pain in the ass to maintain. I know because I had to update the underlying data provided to the model, and also modify it whenever available data changed :( . Here is a blog post on why we removed it from the product in general: http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/removing-price-forecasts |
