SeatGeek, the high-growth technology platform that is transforming the live event experience for fans, teams, and venues, today announced a new multi-year partnership with the San Diego Open. The announcement makes SeatGeek the Official Ticket Provider of the tournament, bringing fans a seamless experience from purchase to match point.
“The Open is a marquee sporting event in San Diego, which means we’re focused on how we use technology to enhance the fan experience,” said Ryan Redondo, Tournament Director at the San Diego Open. “SeatGeek’s platform opens up our ability to create personalized fan-focused features that differentiate us from other events. Products like SeatGeek Rally truly showcase the forward-thinking needed to build the tournament into a momentous event today and for years to come.”
The new partnership is an ace for the tournament, which will take advantage of SeatGeek’s unique products to connect with match-goers and help ensure back office operations run smoothly. Through Unify – SeatGeek’s backend technology platform that allows teams, theaters, and arenas to create, sell, and manage access to their live event ecosystem – tournament organizers will be able to sell tickets across all SeatGeek platforms, manage fan-specific data to enhance the tournament experience and more.
With SeatGeek, tennis fans will be able to buy tickets with confidence and save money by using SeatGeek’s Deal Score technology, easily access their event-day details directly in the SeatGeek app and quickly scan their mobile ticket for entry into Barnes Tennis Center, and use SeatGeek Rally to personalize match-day experiences.
“Our partners at the San Diego Open have an incredible passion for the sport and its fans,” said Jeff Ianello, Executive Vice President of Client Partnerships at SeatGeek. “From the start of our journey together, we knew we were working with a team that shared our vision for using only the best technology to create exceptional match day experiences. We’re looking forward to doubling up with the San Diego Open as true partners.”

SeatGeek has announced seven new banner partnerships in the last four months, including the NFL’s Washington Commanders, NHL’s Florida Panthers, NASCAR, Fiesta Bowl, and three Football Clubs in the U.K. with Leeds United, Watford FC, and a Wolverhampton Wanderers FC renewal.
