Gametime specializes in providing last-minute tickets for sports events, concerts, and shows, focusing on enhancing the purchasing experience for end users by integrating all fees into the displayed ticket prices. This approach reduces confusion and increases customer satisfaction by ensuring that what consumers see is what they pay. The platform analyzes extensive ticket data to identify the most competitive deals across a broad spectrum of events.


Gametime serves a diverse clientele, including sports enthusiasts, concert-goers, and theater patrons primarily in major metropolitan areas across the United States. The company's offerings cater to various entertainment categories, including major sports leagues such as the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, alongside concerts and theater productions, making it a versatile ticketing solution for a wide geographic reach. Gametime's revenue model is primarily transaction-based, driven by ticket sales to consumers through its platform. The company generates income by charging a service fee on top of the ticket price, allowing for both B2C direct sales and partnerships with event organizers.


Gametime's flagship offering includes a price guarantee feature, where if a customer finds a lower price elsewhere, the company commits to refunding 110% of the difference, thereby incentivizing purchases through their service. The ticket pricing structure is designed to be transparent, aiming to enhance customer trust and loyalty. In March 2022, Gametime United, Inc. raised USD 30 mn in Series C funding, which will be utilized to further expand product development and enhance their platform, specifically targeting a younger market.


The firm is exploring new products designed for improved user engagement and aims to expand its geographic reach to additional major urban areas across the United States by the end of 2023.
