What Vivid Seats Inc. does
In the company’s own words
Vivid Seats Inc. (Nasdaq: SEAT) operates as an online ticket marketplace that connects fans with live event tickets through its technology platform. The company's website is www.vividseats.com. Founded in 2001 and launched publicly in 2021 through a merger with Horizon Acquisition Corporation, Vivid Seats has established itself as a significant player in the secondary ticketing market.
The company operates through two primary segments: Marketplace and Resale. The Marketplace segment generates revenue primarily through service and delivery fees charged to ticket buyers, along with referral fees from third-party event insurance providers. This segment includes the company's owned properties—the Vivid Seats mobile app and website, Vegas.com (acquired in November 2023), and Wavedash (acquired in September 2023)—as well as a Private Label Offering through distribution partners. The Resale segment involves acquiring tickets for resale on secondary marketplaces while providing research and development support for the company's seller tools.
Vivid Seats offers ticket buyers a differentiated value proposition featuring a Lowest Price Guarantee, a 100% Buyer Guarantee, and a Vivid Seats Rewards loyalty program. For ticket sellers, the company provides Skybox, a cloud-based enterprise resource planning tool that enables inventory management, pricing optimization, and order fulfillment across multiple marketplaces. In December 2024, the company launched Skybox Drive, a subscription-based add-on offering dynamic pricing capabilities.
The company's ticket offerings span three major event categories: concerts, sports (including major professional leagues and college sports), and theater. As of December 31, 2025, Vivid Seats employed 565 full-time and part-time employees across five office locations in Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Toronto, and Tokyo. The company maintains strategic partnerships with media companies, sports leagues, teams, event venues, and various product and service providers to expand its reach and enhance the buyer experience. The platform utilizes cloud-based technology infrastructure designed for scalability, reliability, and integration with third-party systems through application programming interfaces.
