Our take

For many fans, buying tickets online can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. SeatGeek is setting out to ease this problem by powering an open entertainment industry that provides fans with greater access to experiences, while enabling teams, venues, and shows to have seamless access to their audiences.

SeatGeek launched with a laser-sharp focus on creating a customer-oriented ticketing marketplace for sports and live events. Its commitment to optimizing fan experience has helped distinguish the company from rivals, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with its expanding suite of simple features that have made it the highest-rated and most trusted ticketer.

SeatGeek has secured integration partnerships with Facebook, Spotify and Snapchat, and has an impressive client list that includes the Dallas Cowboys, Manchester City FC, and the Brooklyn Nets. It continues to onboard enterprise clients, expand its international presence and release new products such as "Next Fan Up", positioning it well for future success.
