To be our match ticketing platform from next season, apparently.
Seat Geek Partnership
- Thread starter Bigbluebear
- Start date
better never stops.....
Anyone used Seat Geek?
Wouldn’t imagine it has to do too much to beat our current platform.

Agreed
Dangerous to think it can't be much worse than the current amateur hour - if our operational leadership can find a way to make an arse of it, then they will.
Current hospitality website uses Seatgeek. It appears to have the capacity to change ticket type, so assume child to adult etc. That in itself would be a huge step forward.

Sounds like a positive upgrade yet thread full of negative comments. Yawn

Glad to see the club are finally upgrading the system. Anything will be better than the horrible system we use just now
Found out a little bit about them last night - they do a lot of ticketing for teams in various American sports, so can't be all bad, but have their issues. The Barclays Center moved to them then announced they were going back to Ticketmaster after only a year of a seven year deal. The suggestion is that the partnership between Live Nation and TM was resulting in fewer tours going there in retaliation, which is obviously denied.
Ticketmaster aren't perfect in this area, so it does seem that in general there'll be potential for issues no matter who we use.

We need to shut up with this best in class patter. Nothing we have is best in class and until we actually mean it, zip it
They don’t have an app available in the UK.
Will be a bit of a pain having to learn how the new system works initially, but should allow for more different functions than the current system.
May also reduce the number of emails needing sent as more tasks can be dealt with by supporters directly.

If the board sorted all our issues they’d be folk on here saying they don’t give us enough to moan about
What could possibly go wrong?
It's cringey as f*ck.

I used them for NFL tickets when oved there, pretty straightforward tbh. Hopefully we can use them in the same manner and not make a mess of what should be a simple enough process

I used it for a MLB game, was very easy to use and the ticket was instant within the app, not sure how we will use it though

Positive move from the club and long overdue getting the online ticketing platform sorted out.
Wish we would bin the best in class nonsense, it's embarrassing tbh.

Seatgeek is a huge company, do lots of the big NFL teams in the states and most of the EPL. Good move.
As we're using them already I expect it should be a smooth transition within the current website, hopefully a big improvement on the current setup and maybe a few extra options like online season ticket single match upgrades from Child/Concession to Adult.... one can hope

Been testing a few Premier League clubs who use SeatGeek, Wolves and Aston Villa, website seems great to be honest.
Can't add tickets to your basket unless you meet the criteria as well, and it also shows what your view will look like. Should be a good upgrade if all goes well.

I meant within the Hospitality part of the website, still on the old ticket site provider for today's sale unfortunately.

Looks good on Man City's site as well. Get a view from your seat which is a great feature.
Looks great!
Buying tickets off Man City website is very easy offers view of area you want to buy etc
Our bespoke normally means half arsed.
This might be different. Some positive feedback on here already

Used it regularly for buying tickets to stadiums in the US, and a number of MLS clubs are partnering with them to manage ticket sales. Always a smooth buying process and I've both sent and received tickets when i or somebody else couldn't use the ticket, with no problems. The one drawback in the US at least is Seatgeek and other major players embracing the trend towards "dynamic" pricing, where prices change in relation to demand, leading to some scandalously jacked up prices when tickets are first released. Hopefully that doesn't become a factor at Ibrox as the demand from our fans would be ripe for taking advantage of.
Would likely not happen as that could cause issues with people taking pictures of the code and it getting passed on multiple times. Unless they use the method of generating a new QR code each time but could you imagine the queues waiting on everyone working that out as well
