Our take
Gametime is a last-minute event ticketing platform that aims to stand out from the myriad of similar apps by allowing customers to buy a ticket after the event has started. The reason for this is that ticket prices for sports often fall dramatically after the game has started, making the most of the easy-to-use, quick-buy app's features.
Though this may only cater to a small percentage of its customers, it exemplifies a certain boundary pushing from the company. This is clearly something that the market supports, given its substantial fundraising. In addition, Gametime’s position as both a seller and buyer marketplace has placed it in a great position as a commentator on live events, collecting valuable data.
With the demand for great-value event tickets likely to continue to grow, Gametime is in a prime position to capitalize on this trend. The company currently sells tickets for the North American continent, and is seeing huge revenue across the sports, theatre, and music concert markets. It also continues to invest in enhancing its products, for example by implementing Algolia’s AI search feature.
