The one you see in Twitter, where you click on a button to send an AJAX request and then add more records to the same page you are in. There is also the Ajax More-Less feature.

Of course a price filter would be nice, but what about other data? One more argument, those numbers are familiar to people, if they find a calendar down there will they be able to navigate among content?
