Gametime United

About

What began as a personal quest for a better way to buy last-minute tickets to San Francisco Giants games has blossomed into a leading mobile marketplace for live events. Founded by Brad Griffith in late 2012, Gametime United, Inc. was born from the idea that getting into the game, concert, or show should be as spontaneous and exciting as the event itself. The journey started with the launch of their iOS app in May 2013, followed by an Android version in March 2014, marking the company's official entry into revolutionizing the ticketing industry. The core mission was simple yet powerful: to unite the world through shared experiences by making it incredibly easy for people to discover and access the live events that matter most to them. This fan-first approach resonated deeply with a younger demographic, particularly millennials, who quickly embraced the platform's convenience and mobile-first design. Gametime's innovative approach centers on curating the 50 best-value tickets for an event, determined by a proprietary algorithm that considers both price and seat location. This, combined with features like panoramic seat view photos and a lightning-fast two-click checkout process, created a seamless user experience that set them apart from larger, more established competitors. The company's focus on last-minute availability, where ticket prices often decrease as an event approaches, further solidified its appeal to a generation that thrives on spontaneity. This strategy fueled remarkable growth, with Gametime achieving significant revenue milestones and earning accolades as one of America's fastest-growing companies. From its initial focus on San Francisco, the platform has expanded to cover over 60,000 events across the United States and Canada, offering tickets to everything from major league sports and top-tier concerts to theater productions. Now a fully remote company, Gametime continues to innovate, driven by its core values of going 'Above & Beyond,' working as 'One Team, One Dream,' and 'Always Be Curious,' ensuring that the magic of live events is just a few taps away.
