Nice - congratulations! I remember when you guys were in the Dreamit office and trying to decide on a name.

Well 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.

I 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.

Really well done app. Another solid NYC startup!

Good 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.

I was just at their HQ yesterday - really friendly and open team!

Just wanted to point out, we at SeatGeek are of course hiring. Plenty of positions in quite a few places: https://seatgeek.com/jobs

Especially if you're an Operations Engineer or Android Developer, get in touch. My email is in my profile :)

Jack 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.

They also have a really nice API: http://platform.seatgeek.com/

I've been working on a predictive model for concert ticket values using their data as a training set.

That's really cool! Do you expect to have something out soon?
rcavezza
Not 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.

Great 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 :|

This 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.

Cool!

Anyone know how I can add my own convention to SeatGeek?

sfall
do 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
Cool, thanks. Just listing, we have ticketing covered.

You can add live events at limelight.seatgeek.com, but it's more geared towards smaller bands.

I'm all about Gametime.co for sports but looking forward to trying this for a concert.
