Launched in 2009, SeatGeek experienced steady growth until 2014 when things really began to heat up. SeatGeek’s mobile app became the go-to for fans looking to book entertainment on their phones. While incumbent players like StubHub have yet to “figure out mobile”, SeatGeek’s app is already converting better than desktop. After operating on the outside of the sports industry for so long, it’s time for SeatGeek to start making inroads.
Here at SeatGeek, we’ve spent the last eight years building the best app for consumers to buy sports, concert, and theater tickets. Millions of consumers have used SeatGeek to book event tickets, and we’re quickly becoming a mainstream consumer brand. Fans love our focus on user experience: our maps, discovery features, and deal score algorithm make us a wholly different experience than what fans are accustomed to on legacy ticketing sites.
SeatGeek Open is that future – thanks in large part to groundbreaking partnership with Major League Soccer and our recent acquisition of TopTix – we are now ticketing teams in 2017. We have the best backend and consumer-facing technology on the market and a business model that appeals to fans and teams alike.
