New York, NY – July 13, 2010 – SeatGeek (http://seatgeek.com), the only site that forecasts how sports and concert ticket prices move on the secondary market, announced the launch of a new localized ticketing widget to surface local events and unique forecasting content to sports fans, while offering bloggers and partners sites additional revenue opportunities.

What is the Widget

When SeatGeek’s Partnership with FanFeedr was first announced, we briefly discussed the widget which displays locally relevant ticketing data to users based on their location, with content that site owners can set up to fit the topic of their site.  Below we go into more detail:

SeatGeek aggregates and forecasts the price of sports and concert tickets on the secondary ticket market and was created to solve the following problem:

The Problem:

Will sports and concert tickets prices rise or fall?

The Solution:

We forecast ticket prices with a high degree of accuracy (>80%) allowing sports and music fan to use SeatGeek to buy tickets when they are least expensive.

The SeatGeek widget combines this solution into a robust and relevant tool for website owners and bloggers who can in turn offer additional value to their users by surfacing upcoming events in their area, as well as unique forecasting content. Website owners can customize the widget for a specific team, artist, or league and the widget will geo-locate to offer tickets only for the user’s location.

The widget displays upcoming events, event date/time, and a forecast of whether prices are forecasted to rise, fall, or hold. If fans are interested in attending the game, and prices are forecasted to rise or hold, they can select ‘Find Tickets’ to get started by browsing SeatGeek’s aggregated ticket listings.

Widget Benefits for Fans

• Stay on top of upcoming events in your area
• Know when prices for upcoming events are forecasted to rise so you can buy and save
• Know when prices are going to fall so you can sign up for an email alert and purchase later when prices are at their lowest
• Keep track of events for your favorite artists and teams while browsing the blogs and websites that are already in your browsing schedule

Widget Benefits for Bloggers

• The content matches the interests of the blog readers – whether sports, music, a specific team, a specific city, or a specific league
• The SeatGeek widget allows bloggers to display SeatGeek’s proprietary ticket forecasts
• Bloggers are able to add an additional revenue stream in a way that is not disruptive like many forms of display advertising

Widget Benefits for Partner Sites

• SeatGeek developers can customize widgets to fit the specific needs of partner sites
• In addition to widgets, SeatGeek’s development team can build out full team and league schedule pages with the ability to view upcoming games and buy tickets

For partnership inquiries, please contact Nihar Singhal at nihar[at]seatgeek.com. If you would like to setup a widget yourself, it is available on the SeatGeek Partner Program page. As you may have already noticed, you can see a live sample of our widgets on all of our blogs, including the SeatGeek Sports Blog and the SeatGeek Music Blog.

July 7, 2010 - SeatGeek (http://seatgeek.com), the only site that forecasts how sports and concert ticket prices move on the secondary market, announced a partnership with FanFeedr, a real-time personalized sports feed aggregator that provides ‘Your Sports Fix’. The partnership will give sports fans an easy way to keep track of, and purchase tickets for, upcoming games in their area. FanFeedr’s integration of SeatGeek’s localized ticketing widget onto their site, allows fans browsing their MLB feed in New York, for example, to simultaneously view upcoming tickets for the Yankees with ticket prices and forecasts. Ty Ahmad-Taylor, CEO and Founder of FanFeedr, said “With SeatGeek’s real-time ticketing solution and FanFeedr’s real-time aggregation, we are able to provide fans in any city with the best options for getting local tickets for their favorite teams.”

SeatGeek serves the sports and concert ticketing space by providing users with intelligence on when to buy tickets on the secondary market. They aggregate tickets from all the major secondary markets like StubHub, RazorGator, etc., and use a proprietary algorithm to forecast how those prices are going to move. The SeatGeek Widget combines all these benefits into a robust and relevant tool for websites and blogs who can in turn offer additional value to their users by surfacing upcoming events in their area and unique forecasting content. Website owners can customize the widget for a specific team, artist, or league and the widget will geo-locate to offer tickets only for the user’s location.

FanFeedr’s implementation brings in ticketing information for all the major sports leagues on to the respective FanFeedr pages and the widget does the rest by showing the upcoming events for each league in the geo-located area along with ticket prices and whether prices are forecasted to go up or down. If prices are forecasted to go up, users can come to SeatGeek to buy the tickets and save money in the process. According to Russ D’Souza, Co-Founder of SeatGeek, “this partnership is great for both SeatGeek and FanFeedr, but more importantly, it is great for sports fans. Now fans can keep tabs of their favorite teams all in one place with the integration of personalized feeds from FanFeedr and ticket forecasts from SeatGeek.”
