The Opportunity

You know that feeling you get the day after you say the most amazing concert of your life? Or that time you witnessed an epic game and retold the story for years afterwards? Working at Vivid Seats feels like that every day. We connect people to the live events of their dreams, scoring them the best seats at the best prices. We innovate to bring them more than just a chair. We create memories that last a lifetime. Many of our employees are musicians, sports nuts, and theater nerds, and our goal is to wow our customers and be the most loved brand in ticketing. The truth is, most people don't have a strong preference where they get their tickets, but Vivid Seats is changing the game. Vivid Seats is already the largest independent online ticket marketplace, sending tens of millions of fans to live events. But we're just getting started. Are you up for the challenge?
