A buyer who wants one act on one night has no substitute for that ticket, so demand barely moves with the price. The RESALE Act answers with a band: a resale may run up to the price line, 110% of the ticket’s first sale, and the site’s fee up to 10% of the first sale. Each diamond is a resale a buyer paid for; red diamonds sat over the band, and the green bars mark what timing explains in each stretch before the event, S(t). Select a diamond to split its price. A large remainder that nothing public explains, D(u), charged to buyers with nowhere else to go, is the gouging signal; the collusion signals are on the Patterns tab.
One dot per listing: the site’s fee as a share of the first-sale total. Red dots sit over the 10% fee line.
Signals, read across the whole market, that prices are set together or by who is asking: independent sellers whose prices close on one level and reprice within minutes of each other, the same listing quoted higher to one test profile than another, reprices with nothing public moving, and identical seats at very different prices. Each flagged row carries its sealed packets into the findings queue; whether the conduct is unlawful is for the District’s lawyers and the court.
A significant gap between two test profiles is the test for the ban on surveillance pricing, D.C. Code 28-5509.
How much of the premium buyers paid the time to the event and the sell-out explain, and how much they leave to the seller, the buyer and the platform.
Every finding, sorted by the action it leads to. Select a row to open its evidence packet and verify it against the seal.

The seal is one fingerprint for the whole run. Verify every packet re-hashes each record and packet and walks each one back to the seal; Copy the seal puts the record on your clipboard for filing.
