Ticketing marketplace and primary platform for live events
SeatGeek operates a dual-sided ticketing business: a consumer marketplace for secondary ticket sales and a primary ticketing platform acquired through TopTix. The stack spans Python, Go, C#, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and Redshift—typical for a high-volume transaction platform—with recent adoption of AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude) signaling an engineering efficiency push. Pain points cluster around scaling (software for growing volume, ticketing platform limits, deployment friction) and operational complexity (payments integration, live experience friction, variable demand staffing), indicating a business hitting growth walls in both product stability and back-office operations.

SeatGeek is a New York-based ticketing company founded in 2009, operating both a consumer-facing secondary marketplace and a primary ticketing platform for sports, music, and theater events. The business serves two sides: fans and rightsholders (venues, promoters, teams). The company has grown to 501–1,000 employees across engineering, support, data, and product, with active hiring focused on senior engineers, support scaling, and go-to-market roles. Active projects center on enterprise customer success (scaling operations, complex partnership management), workforce optimization for support teams, and payments infrastructure—reflecting a transition from pure consumer product to enterprise-grade ticketing operations.
