    About

    Scott Muslow and Seth Kligerman launched SeatGeek in 2009 with a clear mission to democratize access to live entertainment. The platform started as an aggregator that pulled secondary market listings from various sellers to help fans compare prices. Over the years it has transformed into a full-service ticketing provider that competes directly with industry giants like Ticketmaster.

    The company operates globally but keeps its main operational hub in New York City. This location serves as the central base for technology development and business strategy teams. While specific revenue figures remain private, the firm has shown significant market traction through high-profile partnerships and integration deals across sports leagues and venues.

    In August 2026 SeatGeek unveiled its Game Day Your Way suite. This ecosystem connects ticketing, entry, concessions, and payments into one unified experience. The move underscores a strategy to compete on the overall fan journey rather than just price points.
