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.
