Ticket Price Tracker

Ticket Price Tracker is a Flask web application that allows users to search for events using the Ticketmaster Discovery API and save events to a watchlist with a custom target price.

How It Works

1. Enter an event, artist, team, or keyword.
2. Optionally filter by city and state.
3. The application sends a request to the Ticketmaster API.
4. Matching events are displayed along with available event information.
5. Users can add events to a watchlist and set a target ticket price.
6. Watchlist data is stored locally using SQLite.
