Best for buying and selling tickets to live events
SeatGeek is a marketplace where fans buy, sell and transfer tickets, with a Deal Score on each seat and a buyer guarantee. The listing says fees are kept low but gives no figures, and we could not find organizer pricing.
Who SeatGeek is for
- Fits if you buy or resell tickets for sports and concerts
- Works for fans who follow teams and artists and want alerts
Who SeatGeek is not for
- Watch out: fees are said to be low but no figures are given
- Skip it if you want to sell tickets as an organizer, as no organizer pricing was found
- Not for you if you use Android, since only an iPhone listing was read
- Watch out: its website blocked our reader, so only the App Store listing could be read
Why SeatGeek gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe listing says fees are kept low but gives no figures, so we can't place it against the category.
- CFree plan and trialThe app is free to download and track teams and artists in, but every ticket costs money, and no fee schedule is shown.
- CFeaturesDeal Score, buy, sell and transfer, a buyer guarantee, Rally and team tracking. For a ticket buyer that is the job; organizer pricing was not found.
- AEase of use4.9 from about 1.1 million App Store ratings.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb and iPhone on the listing, with no Android app or integrations named.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from SeatGeek, Inc.'s own pages on 12 November 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. Its website blocked automated reading, so the grades lean on the App Store listing. How we review and grade.

Keep SeatGeek, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing SeatGeek does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. SeatGeek’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
