What a price on this site actually means
When a ticket button here shows a price, it's one ticket site's listed price for that exact show, at the time shown. It's a handy starting point, not the price you'll pay at checkout.
Why a price on this site disappears
A price that was on a ticket button an hour ago can be gone now. That's on purpose. A price only shows while it's fresh and checked, and a blank is better than an old number that looks current.

You looked at a show this morning and a ticket button had a price on it. You've come back to buy and the price has gone: same show, same button, no number. Nothing is broken. The price got too old, or it stopped passing one of the checks behind it, and a blank is better than an old number that looks current.
Prices only last a day
A price here is what one ticket site was asking for one show, at the time it was checked. Prices are re-checked through the day, and each card says how long ago its price was checked ("Checked 5 hours ago"). If a ticket site stops sending a price for that show, the last one stays up for a while with its age showing. Once it's more than 24 hours old, it comes down.
Nothing is quietly updated or left without a time. The price was right when it was checked, the card tells you when that was, and once it's too old to trust, it goes. What a price on this site actually is explains more.
Every price has to pass a few checks
Age isn't the only thing. A price only shows if the ticket site allows it to be shown, it's for that exact show (not a nearby date), the link to that show has been checked, and the number itself looks like a real price. If any one of those fails, the price is hidden. There's no half-answer.
So a price can disappear because something changed about the show's link, not the price. If a link gets flagged for another look, or it turns out to point at the wrong show, any price attached to it comes down too.
Some ticket sites never show a price
If a ticket site's button never has a price on it, that's down to the site, not the show. SeatGeek doesn't share its prices with this site, so its button is a checked link and nothing more. Ticket Liquidator doesn't share a price either, so it's link-only too. Ticketmaster is a plain link here.
A button with no price says nothing about how popular the show is.
What doesn't happen when a price comes down
No old price is kept up. No "from" price is made up. Nothing is averaged across sites, copied from another date or borrowed from another seat. And no site moves up the list because it still has a price: the order is always the same (sites that pay a commission first, Ticketmaster last), and it isn't a ranking. A blank beats an old number, and it beats a made-up one by a mile.
What you're left with
The link. When a price comes down, the button stays, still checked, still going to that exact show. The ticket site is the only place to see the real, up-to-date total once fees, delivery and tax are added, so a missing price only costs you a starting point.
When a card does have a price, it also has a price history: up to 90 days of what that site was asking for that show. That's a better way to tell if today's price is unusual than any single number.
