SeatGeek Co-Founder & CEO Jack Groetzinger Discusses Ticketing Platforms

This week, we speak with SeatGeek co-founder and CEO Jack
Groetzinger. SeatGeek entered into a $1.35 billion dollar
combination agreement with RedBall Acquisition Corp. in October.
Event venues have traditionally had an adversarial relationship
with ticket scalpers and the secondary market. But, SeatGeek is
part of a new generation of companies managing those marketplaces
on behalf of the venues. We talk about how SeatGeek weathered the
pandemic and what event patrons can expect now that the latest
variant is waning. We also discuss how SeatGeek’s software tools
are going deeper inside venue operations and what advantages a
SPAC transaction can still bring in the current market.
