About SeatGeek

History

SeatGeek is a ticketing technology company founded in 2009 by Jack Groetzinger and Russell D’Souza. Originally developed to help fans discover and compare tickets to live events, it expanded into a marketplace for buying and selling tickets and a ticketing provider for sports teams, venues, and entertainment organizations.

Product Types

Tickets to professional and college sports, concerts, music festivals, theater, comedy, and other live entertainment. SeatGeek offers both primary tickets sold on behalf of participating event organizers and resale tickets listed by ticket holders and professional sellers. Its services also include mobile ticket management and ticketing technology for teams and venues.

Target Audience

Sports fans, concertgoers, theater enthusiasts, travelers, and other live-entertainment shoppers, particularly in the United States. SeatGeek appeals to mobile-first buyers who want convenient ticket discovery, seating information, and tools for evaluating ticket value, as well as fans seeking last-minute tickets or access to high-demand events.

Unique Selling Points

SeatGeek combines event discovery, interactive seating maps for supported venues, mobile purchasing, and its Deal Score feature, which helps shoppers assess ticket value using factors such as price and seat location. Its marketplace brings together primary and resale inventory, with availability varying by event. For publishers interested in promoting SeatGeek through Sovrn Commerce, creating a Sovrn account is an easy way to explore access to this merchant and thousands more. SeatGeek’s current availability, publisher eligibility, and affiliate terms must be confirmed within Sovrn Commerce; an active partnership or immediate merchant access cannot be independently verified here.

Marketing Tips

Content Ideas

  • Publish city-specific live-event guides featuring SeatGeek listings for concerts, sporting events, theater, and comedy. Use Sovrn Commerce affiliate links where SeatGeek is available for your account.
  • Create stadium and theater seating guides explaining sightlines, seating sections, accessibility considerations, and how to compare ticket options on SeatGeek.
  • Build timely content around tour announcements, rivalry games, playoff schedules, and weekend entertainment, checking event details and ticket availability before publishing.
  • Explain SeatGeek features such as Deal Score and interactive seat maps where available, without implying that a score guarantees the lowest price or a particular experience.
  • Develop occasion-based guides such as date-night events, family outings, and experience gifts, noting that ticket transfer and delivery conditions can vary by event.

Promotional Strategies

  • Join Sovrn Commerce to access thousands of merchants, then confirm SeatGeek availability, account eligibility, and current merchant terms before building campaigns.
  • Place relevant Sovrn Commerce affiliate links beside useful event recommendations and seating advice rather than relying on generic promotional banners.
  • Plan editorial coverage around ticket releases and major sports and entertainment calendars. Update recommendations as schedules, inventory, and prices change.
  • Share event-focused content through permitted social channels and newsletters only after checking the applicable SeatGeek terms in Sovrn Commerce and the channel's advertising rules.
  • Promote discount codes or affiliate offers only when they are verified and authorized for your use through Sovrn Commerce. State expiration dates, eligibility requirements, and exclusions clearly.
  • Use available Sovrn Commerce reporting to compare clicks, attributed purchases, and earnings across content themes. Allow for reporting delays and transaction adjustments when evaluating results.

Best Practices

  • Verify SeatGeek's current availability, commission terms, attribution window, eligible transactions, and promotional restrictions within Sovrn Commerce; do not assume publicly advertised terms apply to your account.
  • Place a clear affiliate disclosure near recommendations and links, explaining that you may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
  • Avoid promising the cheapest tickets, guaranteed availability, exclusive inventory, or confirmed seating views unless you can substantiate the specific claim.
  • Explain that ticket prices and availability can change. When quoting prices, identify when they were checked and accurately describe whether applicable fees are included.
  • Check the applicable Sovrn Commerce merchant terms before using paid search, trademark keywords, direct-link advertising, email campaigns, or coupon-focused promotion; do not assume these methods are permitted.
  • Use only authorized brand assets and accurately describe your relationship with SeatGeek. Do not imply official sponsorship, exclusivity, or special access without permission.
  • Review event pages regularly for cancellations, postponements, venue changes, and expired promotions, and avoid making refund or ticket-delivery promises beyond SeatGeek's applicable policies.
  • Keep affiliate links intact and use supported Sovrn Commerce tracking methods. Avoid cookie stuffing, misleading redirects, fabricated urgency, and unauthorized incentives.
