Check out dcrstats.com. They've just added a predictor for the next price change. It remains to be seen how accurate it is, but it should be enough to give people an idea on if they want to jump in or not. Personally my max price is set to 200 ^_^.
I have 13+ spendable and ticket diff is 8.5 but I can't buy tickets, even manually or automatically. I even set my max price to 1000 to test this. I want to buy the cheap ticket again. Edit: I just upgraded to version 700
@ClokworkGremlin, When I do getstakeinfo, what should I look for to see how many tickets are already in the block?
Not sure it's listed there, but I think the "fresh stake" value on the block explorer is the stake tickets bought during that block. Which is below 10 for the last dozen blocks. Hmmm.
@Reynold , I'd double-check your ticket price settings and if the wallet is unlocked. I've automatically bought some 10 tickets using version v7 already.

How is the ticket price going like that? Were will it head??? Isn't it too high right now? (31.92 DCR)
U kidding right? All time high is 77.73dcr per ticket. And the price depends on number of tickets already present and the new tickets in mempool. To keep the total number of tickets somewhat constant the price keeps fluctuating. If there are too many tickets in the mempool, the price rises. If there are too less tickets, price falls.
A correction. It's the ticket pool, not the mempool. They are two separate and very different things. The mempool is a local cache of transactions that are waiting to be mined and is typically not 100% the same between nodes because each node has the ability to set their own relay policies. The ticket pool, on the other hand, is part of the blockchain and is consensus critical. Therefore, the entire network 100% agrees on its contents. It is the ticket pool that drives the ticket price.
