SeatGeek

You found the song 🎵 . Now find the seat 💺 . SeatGeek’s official primary tickets are now integrated into Spotify's event discovery experience. That means when fans discover an artist, they can move straight into SeatGeek to compare options and lock in great seats. For our partners, it connects primary inventory to Spotify’s 751M+ monthly active users earlier in the discovery journey - with insights powered by SeatGeekIQ, our AI-driven marketplace intelligence engine. The result: better fan understanding, stronger show rates and smarter ticketing decisions. We’re building the best marketplace for live events by meeting fans where they already are. It’s live now. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eRNf73uJ

Understanding the fan as a person—not just a transaction—is what ultimately makes a great ticketing experience. That perspective grounded our recent All Access Pass conversation with Jessica Gelman, CEO and cofounder of KAGR (Kraft Analytics Group) and cofounder of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, in conversation with Derek Zhou, hosted at SeatGeek HQ. Jessica emphasized that fans’ lives and habits change over time—and live event experiences need to change with them. Better ticket-buying and event-going experiences are built on data-driven insight into how people discover, decide on, and show up to live events. Thanks to Jessica and Derek for the thoughtful conversation, and to our Existing Business team and our Women@SeatGeek ERG for co-hosting!

Happy New Year! What’s your 2026 live event wish? A few of our colleagues shared theirs below. We’ll keep an eye out for those Taylor Swift wedding tickets 👀 Here’s to a year filled with experiences that bring us together and remind us why live events matter. https://lnkd.in/gAt9imHr

Each year, our employees come together for GiveGeek, a little friendly competition in service of causes that matter to our Employee Resource Group (ERG) communities. In 2025, exec sponsors and ERGs teamed up to support seven nonprofit organizations, with Bonusly points and a live HQ challenge helping determine how matching funds were distributed. The result: $19,395 raised for our Giving Tuesday partners, including a $5,000 match for the top fundraiser. Congrats to Brad Tacy, whose sponsored organization, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), took first place. Brad officially earns bragging rights among the exec team for another year. And Giving Tuesday is just one part of the story. Across 2025, SeatGeek employees and the company have supported 60+ nonprofits, hosted volunteer events, and turned everyday recognition into real-world impact.

Search is entering a new phase. Fans are asking questions across AI assistants, conversational tools, and emerging agentic experiences that can plan and take actions for them. SeatGeek is participating in Google’s pilot for agentic AI search, ensuring that Google’s models can fully understand and act on our event data. For teams, venues, and artists, this creates new opportunities for fans to discover and book their events across the next generation of search surfaces. Early internal signals show promising visibility for SeatGeek across the prompt sets we’re tracking, reinforcing our commitment to helping rightsholders surface their events wherever fans are looking.

Two years ago, some wondered whether the Big 12 Championship could sustain the demand it once had. This year is a different story. With SeatGeekIQ, the Big 12 Conference tracks demand in real time through every win, loss, and shift in the standings - giving the conference the ability to adjust pricing, anticipate surges, and meet fans where they are throughout the season. That visibility has helped rebuild momentum for one of its most important events. The 2025 Big 12 Championship is sold out, on track for a new attendance record, and set to generate the highest revenue in its history. Congrats to Sean Desmond and the Big 12 team. Their vision and willingness to rethink the traditional playbook made this possible. https://lnkd.in/gZ68efJc

SeatGeek’s platform team continues to innovate, building new cloud-native solutions that allow our engineers to ship features reliably and quickly. Last month at KubeCon, Zach Hammer and Colin O'Dell shared two of those solutions: Ephie and Letsgo. Ephie goes beyond traditional preview deployments by creating powerful, on-demand testing environments. This allows engineers to safely test complex, multi-system features - like a new integration with a league that enhances the fan experience - in production-like conditions before they go live. Letsgo is a centralized toolkit for engineers’ local environments. It streamlines day-to-day development and ensures teams always have an up-to-date foundation for building. Together, these tools help SeatGeek engineers focus on what matters most: building the best live experience platform in the industry. 🎥 Check out Zach and Colin’s KubeCon talks: https://lnkd.in/gPjvRyFw https://lnkd.in/gH62FEq9
