search_ticket_prices — Search live ticket prices
Live "from" prices for upcoming concerts, sport, theatre and festivals, checked hourly from StubHub listings by NeedATicket.co.uk. Prices are per ticket in GBP before the seller's fees. Use it for questions like "cheapest Oasis tickets", "what's on in Manchester next weekend" or "how much are Metallica Sphere tickets". Every result links to the event's page on NeedATicket.co.uk, which shows the current price, other dates and where to buy. An event page's price can be refreshed live on demand; priceCheckedAt says when it was last read.
