SeatGeek Unveils New Marketplace

SeatGeek recently launched a new set of features in its marketplace that will allow fans to list tickets for sale alongside venues and professional resellers.

SeatGeek Marketplace features include price transparency, dynamic price recommendations, fee-free transfers to friends, easy uploads of digital tickets and Venmo for peer-to-peer payments.

“We’re thrilled about the possibilities that the SeatGeek Marketplace opens up for fans,” SeatGeek co-founder Russ D’Souza said. “Tens of thousands of tickets go unused every day because the process of selling tickets online is too onerous. By lowering the barriers for consumers to sell tickets online, our hope is that the SeatGeek Marketplace not only makes it easier for fans to recoup the cost of their unused tickets, but also makes it possible for many more fans to attend live events.”

SeatGeek got its start as a ticket search engine that alerted fans of ideal times to purchase tickets from secondary sellers. The company raised almost $100 million in funding over the past year. Investors include Nas and NFL quarterback siblings Peyton and Eli Manning.
