SeatGeek Raises $35M
- ca98am79 12y agoNice - congratulations! I remember when you guys were in the Dreamit office and trying to decide on a name.
- paul9290 12y agoPlus one for DreamIt!
- usumoio 12y agoWell done dudes. I remember when I was about the only person connecting to your API. Glad to here you've come this far. It is a dope API.
- themoonbus 12y agoUsed SeatGeek the other day to find concert tickets, the interface is fantastic. They also maintain an interesting code+design blog http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/ http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/
- rabidonrails 12y agoI go to concerts and sports events pretty often and I always use Seatgeek to get an idea of prices and pick up tickets at the last minute. It's a slick app with an overall great experience.
- frankdenbow 12y agoReally well done app. Another solid NYC startup!
- fourstar 12y agoGood for them. A couple of them are on the CakePHP team and when I was big into that, they were more than helpful. Smart eng team.
- cm2012 12y agoI was just at their HQ yesterday - really friendly and open team!

- ryanb 12y agoJack and Russ are relentless founders and I'm continually impressed by them. The ticket buying experience through SeatGeek is so easy and is particularly delightful on mobile. Excited to see what they're able to do with this funding.
- dylanz 12y agoI only heard about SeatGeek after reading this great blog post from them: http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/high-performance-map-interactions-using-html5-canvas/ http://chairnerd.seatgeek.com/high-performance-map-interacti.... Congrats!
- rcavezza 12y agoThey also have a really nice API: http://platform.seatgeek.com/ http://platform.seatgeek.com/ I've been working on a predictive model for concert ticket values using their data as a training set.
- rabidonrails 12y agoThat's really cool! Do you expect to have something out soon?
- rcavezza 12y agoNot eminently. There's a few key feature sets I still need before I'm happy with the model. I'll be sure to make a Show HN post when I get something up.
- epipsychidion 12y agoGreat news for the founders! It's a bittersweet experience for me, I had an interview call a year ago but they cancelled because I needed work authorization :|
- etrautmann 12y agoCongrats Jack and Russ!
- dchuk 12y agoThis is great news, my soon to launch startup will be leveraging their fantastic API heavily for a date planning tool for couples in the near future.
- tehwebguy 12y agoCool! Anyone know how I can add my own convention to SeatGeek?
- sfall 12y agodo you mean you run a convention and want to use them to sell the tickets? or just listed? they don't seem to act as a retailer but more as an aggravation and tracking of secondary markets
- tehwebguy 12y agoCool, thanks. Just listing, we have ticketing covered.
- zackkitzmiller 12y agoYou can add live events at limelight.seatgeek.com, but it's more geared towards smaller bands.
- goeric 12y agoI'm all about Gametime.co for sports but looking forward to trying this for a concert.
