Our take
Gamtime is a last-minute event ticketing platform that aims to stand out from the myriad of other 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 from the likes of Bolt Ventures and Maven Ventures. 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. Although the company only sells tickets for the North American continent, it is seeing huge revenue across the sports, theatre, and music concert markets - and aims to use its funds to further enhance its products and market its app to younger eventgoers.
