Winning isn’t everything.
Unless you’re playing Buy the Best Tickets at the Lowest Price, in which case winning isn’t everything – it’s the only thing.
Consider SeatGeek your secret weapon for victory. Dubbed a “ticket decision engine” by co-founders Jack Groetzinger and Russ D’Souza, the site aggregates listings for concerts and sporting events from sites like StubHub, RazorGator, TicketsNow, even eBay.
The results are plotted on a floor plan of the venue using a color-coding system that ranks entries on a scale of “ok deal” to “best deal.” Scroll over each dot and up pops a photo showing the view from that seat.
On top of that, there’s a forecast tool that uses loads of data (historical sales, teams’ records, popularity of venue, etc.) plus a fancy algorithm to suggest whether you should pull the trigger now or hold out for a lower price.
Because in the end, it’s not whether they win or lose: It’s how much you paid for the game.
