St. Louis CITY SC joins a growing list of MLS
clubs that have chosen SeatGeek as their box office ticketing
partner
SeatGeek, the high-growth, mobile-centric technology platform
that is transforming the live-event experience for fans, teams, and
venues, today announced a partnership with St. Louis CITY SC to
become the club’s primary ticketing provider as the team prepares
for its inaugural Major League Soccer (MLS) season in 2023. The
announcement makes St. Louis CITY SC the seventh MLS team to
partner with SeatGeek as the platform continues to grow its MLS
presence. Over the past five years the majority of new MLS teams
entering new venues have chosen SeatGeek, including Minnesota
United, Austin FC, FC Cincinnati, and now St. Louis CITY SC.
St. Louis CITY SC chose SeatGeek because of the company’s
progressive approach to digital ticketing and focus on delivering a
superior fan experience. SeatGeek’s platform will integrate
seamlessly into St. Louis CITY’s mobile-first approach to allow
event-goers to easily buy, transfer and scan tickets and continue
to use mobile tickets to stay contactless upon entering the
stadium. SeatGeek will also power St. Louis CITY SC’s back-office
technology, giving the club and ticket sellers seamless integrated
access to fans and a view of demand.
“After an overwhelming response during our club’s
record-breaking season ticket deposit campaign, we knew it was
important to have a strong ticketing partner to support our sales,”
said Edmound Elzy, St. Louis CITY SC’s Vice President of Ticketing
Sales & Service. “We are so excited to be partnering with
SeatGeek and incorporate their state-of-the-art technology into our
club’s fan experience.”
SeatGeek has made substantial inroads in the primary ticketing
space since signing its first-ever client, Sporting Kansas City,
back in 2017. Since then, the platform has become the official
partner of some of the most recognized teams, venues, and leagues
in the world, including the Dallas Cowboys, Brooklyn Nets, and
Liverpool F.C., as well as the National Football League and half of
the English Premier League. SeatGeek has also partnered with
multiple major theaters across New York City’s Broadway and
London’s West End, creating a new way for fans to experience
theater.
“We are thrilled to partner with an organization that is so
deeply rooted in its commitment to fans, and has a passion for
using new technology to create the ultimate match day experience,”
said SeatGeek co-founder and CEO Jack Groetzinger. “Together, we
look forward to building incredible memories for St. Louis CITY
supporters across the city.”
