For the first time, ticketing, entry, concessions and payments live in one place, unlocking better operational decisions, new revenue opportunities and a more seamless experience for every fan in the building. The Game Day suite is one important step in SeatGeek's broader vision of creating a fully connected live event experience for rightsholders and fans alike. For too long, teams have operated game day across a patchwork of disconnected systems. A fan walks through the gate, grabs food at a concession stand, redeems a loyalty offer, and makes a payment, and each of those moments lives in a different system, owned by a different vendor, invisible to the others. The result is an incomplete picture of how fans actually experience a game and limited ability to act on it in the moment. SeatGeek's Game Day suite changes that. By connecting ticketing, entry, concessions and payments into a single unified system, teams gain a 360-degree view of fan behaviour and spend and the tools to act on it in real time. That means resolving a ticketing issue from the concourse, pushing a personalized offer to a fan who just entered the building, or adjusting concession staffing based on live wait time data, all from one place. The suite was piloted at Rocket Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, where it is serving as a proof point for what a fully connected game day looks like in practice. "Teams have always had data on their fans, but it has never lived in one place," said Russ D'Souza, Co-Founder of SeatGeek. "Our Game Day suite connects every touchpoint of the fan journey into a single system, giving teams the full picture they need to make better decisions on game day and build deeper relationships with their fans over time. What's happening at Rocket Arena is one important step toward that vision." For fans, the difference is felt immediately. Faster entry, real-time wait times, and easier in-venue transactions bring the kind of seamless experience that once felt reserved for premium ticketholders and VIPs to every fan in the building. "SeatGeek's Game Day tools provide us a clear, real-time view of how our fans move through Rocket Arena and experience a Cavs game, from the moment they arrive until the moment they head home," said Chris Kaiser, Chief Marketing Officer of the Cleveland Cavaliers. "We're obsessed with finding a better way, and the insights we gain from this platform will elevate the fan experience and strengthen how we deliver for our guests and partners every night." Key features in the Game Day suite include: * Native Access Control: Real-time ticketing and entry management, operable from any mobile device, with ingress data available in under one second. * Live Activities: Dynamic, real-time updates that keep fans informed and engaged throughout the event, before, during, and after. * Virtual Box Office: A mobile-first box office experience that lets teams resolve ticketing issues and serve fans from anywhere in the venue. (SBJ Award Nominee: Best in Venue & Franchise Operations Technology) * Wait Times: Real-time concession and entry wait time data surfaced directly to fans, reducing friction and improving flow throughout the venue. * Virtual Payment: A connected payment experience that ties transactions across the venue into a single, unified system, integrated with Cavs Rewards, the Cavaliers' fan loyalty platform powered by Uptop. The Game Day suite was successfully piloted at Rocket Arena and is available to SeatGeek enterprise partners. Learn more at SeatGeek's Game Day Your Way hub.
SeatGeek partners with Beemok Sports & Entertainment to power Cincinnati Open, Credit One Charleston Open. By Tournament Staff May 7, 2026 09:00am ET Beemok Sports & Entertainment selects SeatGeek to power fan experience across two of tennis' premier events and Credit One Stadium. NEW YORK, NY AND CHARLESTON, SC - May 7, 2026 - SeatGeek, the high-growth technology platform transforming the live event experience for fans, teams and venues, today announced a new partnership with Beemok Sports & Entertainment (BSE) to serve as the official ticketing partner for the Cincinnati Open and the Credit One Charleston Open, two of the most celebrated events in professional tennis. The partnership also includes full ticketing exclusivity for Credit One Stadium, Charleston's premier live event entertainment venue. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering a best-in-class fan experience at every touchpoint and represents a natural next step for BSE as it continues to elevate and operate its portfolio under a unified vision. By implementing SeatGeek's modern ticketing technology across both properties, BSE is investing in tools and infrastructure designed to meet the expectations of today and tomorrow's fans. The Cincinnati Open, the longest-running US ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tennis tournament still played in its city of origin, recently underwent a $260 million campus renovation and was named US ATP & WTA Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year. The Credit One Charleston Open, the largest women's-only tennis tournament in North America, has been named WTA 500 Tournament of the Year for four consecutive years. Beyond tennis, the partnership extends to the broader entertainment calendar at Credit One Stadium, which hosted nine days of world-class tennis and 22 concerts last year. Momentum is already building for 2026, with artists including Pitbull, Jelly Roll and Zac Brown Band on the slate. "Our goal is to deliver a consistent, high-quality experience for fans across every event and venue we operate," said Bob Moran, President of Beemok Sports & Entertainment. "SeatGeek gives us the technology and flexibility to bring our portfolio together in a more seamless way while continuing to elevate the standard for live sports and entertainment." Fans attending both tournaments and events at Credit One Stadium will benefit from SeatGeek's intuitive, mobile-first ticketing experience. The platform makes it easy to discover events, compare seats using Deal Score, preview views before purchase and manage or transfer tickets in just a few taps. The platform also allows venues to highlight premium seating and hospitality options, so fans can find and unlock the full range of experiences each event has to offer. Day-of seamless mobile entry means less friction and more time enjoying the experience. Behind the scenes, SeatGeek will serve as an intelligent operating system, connecting data across both properties to help each event sell smarter, run smoother and build deeper connections with fans over time. "Beemok Sports & Entertainment has built something special, two of the most celebrated events in tennis along with world-class concert and event venues, operating with a shared vision and an uncompromising standard for the fan experience. That's exactly the kind of partner SeatGeek is built for," said Russ D'Souza, Co-founder and President of Supply at SeatGeek. "Bringing our platform and intelligence to both properties gives us a unique opportunity to demonstrate what modern ticketing technology can do at the highest level of the sport." The partnership will roll out across BSE's portfolio in phases. In July, SeatGeek will begin powering tickets for the Credit One Charleston Open, followed by the broader entertainment calendar at Credit One Stadium in January 2027. The Cincinnati Open and events at Lindner Family Tennis Center will transition to SeatGeek in January 2028, completing the full integration across both properties.

SeatGeek claims first blended primary-and-resale ticketing presence in ChatGPT. Home " SeatGeek claims first blended primary-and-resale ticketing presence in ChatGPT. By Dave Clark 5 hours ago Image illustrating the SeatGeek interface within ChatGPT. (SeatGeek illustration) SeatGeek announced Tuesday that it has launched an app in ChatGPT, claiming to be the first ticketing marketplace to bring both primary box office inventory and resale listings into the GPT ecosystem through a single consumer-facing experience. Multiple ticket marketplaces have already developed a presence within ChatGPT, including prior launches from Vivid Seats and, more recently, StubHub. But SeatGeek is positioning its new integration around a more specific claim: that it is the first to unite both official primary ticket inventory and secondary-market resale listings in the same ChatGPT-based search flow. "Fans no longer start their journey in one place - they're asking questions across AI assistants, new search experiences, and tools that can act on their behalf," said Russ D'Souza, Co-Founder and President of Supply at SeatGeek. "Our focus is making sure our events surface wherever fans are asking about them, and that when they do, our partners' tickets are front and center in the best possible buying experience." This launch implies a new development in how ticketing inventory is presented through AI-driven discovery tools. In much of the ticketing business, primary and secondary inventory have long been treated as distinct channels, even when consumers are simply trying to find the best available ticket. SeatGeek's pitch is that conversational AI can now act as a front-end discovery layer for a blended marketplace rather than merely serving as a referral source for one side of the market or the other. According to the company, users can search for tickets inside ChatGPT using natural-language prompts, whether they are looking for the cheapest seat at a game, a better view for a concert, or family-friendly options for a weekend event. The inventory surfaced through the app draws from SeatGeek's combined marketplace, with transactions ultimately completed on SeatGeek's own platform. "This is part of our long-term strategy to lead the industry in AI-powered discovery," said Adam Waxman, Product Engineer at SeatGeek. "ChatGPT is where millions of fans are already asking questions about what to do and where to go - we want SeatGeek to be the answer when those questions turn to live events." For teams and venues, SeatGeek is framing the integration as a new discovery channel at a moment when more consumers are beginning searches inside AI assistants rather than through conventional search engines or by navigating directly to ticket marketplace homepages. The company said the ChatGPT experience includes data points such as Deal Score, view-from-seat imagery, and seat-perk information meant to help users evaluate listings with more context. SeatGeek also tied the launch to a broader AI distribution strategy it has been building across multiple surfaces. The company pointed to earlier efforts involving Google's agentic AI search experience and a Spotify integration as part of a wider push to position its inventory where consumers increasingly begin discovery.
SeatGeek has launched its app in ChatGPT, becoming the first ticketing platform to offer both official primary tickets and resale inventory through the AI assistant. The integration allows fans to search for event tickets using natural language and provides teams and venues with a new channel for reaching customers. The app surfaces real-time inventory from SeatGeek's marketplace, including features like Deal Score ratings, view-from-seat imagery and seat perks data. Fans can refine searches conversationally before completing purchases on SeatGeek's platform. The launch follows SeatGeek's recent integrations with Google's agentic AI search and Spotify, reflecting the company's strategy to expand event discovery across emerging AI platforms. Founded in 2009, SeatGeek provides ticketing technology for major sports and entertainment venues globally.
Live Nation antitrust trial resumes Monday on state claims after settlement talks break down. By Kara Scannell, CNN (CNN) - The show will go on. The antitrust trial involving events operator Live Nation will restart Monday after the ticketing giant failed to reach a settlement with a consortium of state attorneys general. During a court hearing in New York on Friday, Judge Arun Subramanian said the states dropped their motion for a mistrial and the trial would pick up next week with witness testimony. Michael Rapino, the chief executive of Live Nation, and musician Kid Rock, an outspoken critic of the ticketing industry, are on the states' witness list. The civil trial, which began earlier this month, was interrupted this week when the Justice Department and Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, announced a settlement that caught the judge and the states off guard. Tuesday, Subramanian called the top officials from both sides to court. The judge expressed exasperation and ordered the deal makers to remain at the courthouse through the week to try to work out a deal. The Justice Department's deal with Live Nation still requires the Subramanian's approval. Under the terms of the deal, Live Nation agreed to allow competitors, like SeatGeek or StubHub, to offer tickets to its events, cap ticketing service fees at 15%, and divest exclusive booking agreements with 13 amphitheaters. It also includes a $280 million settlement fund for state damages claims. More than 30 state attorneys general are also part of the case against Live Nation. The majority said they opposed the terms of the DOJ deal. During the hearing Friday, a representative for several states said five reached settlements with Live Nation on similar terms as the DOJ settlement: Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and South Dakota. South Carolina and Iowa are also negotiating and may reach a deal, he said. This week, the states brought on Jeffrey Kessler, a well-known antitrust attorney with Winston & Strawn, to co-lead the case. Subramanian said on Monday that Kessler can introduce himself to the jury now that the Justice Department attorney, who has presented most of the evidence and discussion before the jury, has left the case.
