At Gametime, we revel in life’s impromptu moments — like cheering on your hometown team at a Friday night baseball game or dancing the night away at an intimate concert. So, we built a ticket marketplace that makes it faster and easier to get into your favorite events at a moment’s notice.

How We Roll

Our team is made up of sports fans and music buffs dedicated to making the ticket buying experience better. We’re passionate about enabling incredible shared experiences, so we build technology that gets people out into the real world together. And with a bias for spontaneity, we’re focused on making the process simple and smooth while you’re on the move.

Mobile First: We’re built for mobile, so you can buy tickets and access events all from your phone. No printer needed.

Transparent Pricing: We're committed to clear, competitive pricing, showing you the full cost of your tickets up front, with All-In Pricing toggled on - no hidden fees!

Guaranteed Tickets: Our Gametime Guarantee ensures you’ll have your tickets in time for the event and that they’ll be valid for entry.

The ‘Aha!’ Moment

In 2012, Gametime founder Brad Griffith nearly missed a San Francisco Giants game after scrambling to print last-minute tickets in the basement of a local sports bar. Though he eventually made it in to see the Giants win the National League Championship, the experience stuck with him. Brad was convinced there should be a faster, easier way to get into the game. Not long after, Gametime was born.

Today, Gametime provides the premier marketplace for last-minute tickets to the most popular events in sports, music, and theater in more than 60 cities across the U.S. and Canada. We eliminated the need for printing — no more paper jams and bar basements! — and built a better way to access the best live experiences, right from your phone.

Why We’re Different

We aren’t the biggest, but we are committed to being the best. Our marketplace makes buying and selling event tickets a breeze, so you can skip the hassle and enjoy the moment.

The Gametime experience is designed to get you into your event seamlessly every time. We curate our listings to show only the best deals, instead of an impossibly long list of options. Use our panoramic seat view photos to choose your view before you buy; purchase in just two taps; then easily share tickets with friends via text. Playing it by ear? You can even grab tickets up to 90 minutes after start time with LastCall. Because planning is overrated.

Gametime Values

Above & Beyond: We don't settle. You'll find us going the extra mile for our users, our partners, and each other.

One Team, One Dream: We're in it together. We celebrate wins and learn from our failures as a team.

Always Be Curious: We challenge the status quo every day and expect that you will, too.
