Score calculation for venue, event, performer #84

Hello,

I saw documentation on how the performer is scored on a scale from 0-1 but I see the venue and event is scored on a different scoring pattern. How is this calculated and what is the max value for events and performers?

Event, venue and performer scores are all in the same interval: [0,1]. From the Documentation:

"Most document types include a score field. The score field is used to indicate the document's relative popularity within its type. score is a floating point value in 0 <= score <= 1.

Currently score values for events, venues and performers are based on estimated sales volume on the secondary ticket market (normalized such that the most popular document has a score of 1)."

This is confirmed by the SeatGeek data I've scraped and analyzed; all scores for events, venues and performers are between 0 and 1, inclusively. Did this answer your question?
