Watch Out For Startup SeatGeek: They Could Get Very Big

Secondary ticket vendor SeatGeek got more financing ($550,000 from its New York-focused investors) and I see them getting super-popular.

This New York-based startup does a fantastic job of aggregating concert and sports tickets from such after-market Web sites as:

• StubHub
• TicketsNow
• eBay
• TicketNetwork
• RazorGator

You Can Easily See Which Tickets In Which Areas Are Cheapest

The reason I think they’ll do so well is that if customers are like me they have this feeling that they’re getting ripped off when they check out just StubHub for tickets — SeatGeek gives you a few other options so users should take comfort that they’re getting a much better price.

And some of you ask me for tips on new companies to work for; I notice that SeatGeek has 6 openings right now:

• Web Engineer
• Lead UI/UX Designer
• VP of Business Developement
• Director of Statistics
• Social Media Intern
• Web Development Intern
