About SeatGeek

Learn more about SeatGeek and their company culture.

View company profile

SeatGeek is the live entertainment platform that’s rethinking ticketing by caring more about fans, teams and venues. We're powering a new, open entertainment industry where fans have effortless access to experiences, and teams, venues and shows have seamless access to their audiences.

Trusted Consumer Marketplace

We make it easy for fans to buy tickets and attend events through industry-first features like Deal Score, our ticket-rating technology; Rally, our event experience platform; and SeatGeek Swaps, the first return policy offered by a major ticketer. These features and more have made us the highest rated and most trusted ticketer.

Innovative Enterprise Ticketing Technology

Our enterprise ticketing software allows teams, venues and shows to efficiently grow their businesses while delivering the superior experience that all fans deserve. We’re proud to partner with some of the most recognized names in the world across sports and entertainment since launching in 2016.

Our core values

  • Start with fans: When fans win, everyone wins…and for too long fans have lost. We challenge ourselves, our partners and our industry to start with fans, and let everything else follow from there.

  • Be humbold: We're bold, but humble. We believe we can come up with better ways of doing things through fresher thinking, without being jerks in the process. We're brave enough both to go all-in and also to admit when we're wrong.

  • Pull back the curtains: We put outsized focus on building the most talented team possible. Exceptional people enabled with context do incredible work, so even when it's uncomfortable, we're over-the-top transparent with information.

  • Don't do bullsh*t work: If unchecked, every job results in too many hours spent on bullsh*t work. We design how we work to spend the most time doing rather than preparing to do. Speed compounds; the fastest to innovate, win.

  • Stack the lineup: Our team is our biggest unfair advantage, and the best teams bring together different backgrounds and experiences. We attract exceptional people who are as diverse as the events we ticket, and strive to create an environment where everyone belongs and maximizes their potential.

  • Play long ball: We take big bets on the future. Often we won't know if those bets are successful for months, or even years. Some will fail. Betting on the future means we aren't wholly focused on success today. We're willing to take those risks because they enable the outsized payoffs that change how fans experience live entertainment.
