Oakland Roots and Soul SC announces partnership with SeatGeek to become the Club’s new Ticketing Partner on a multi-year agreement starting 2024. SeatGeek, the high-growth technology platform that is transforming the live event experience for fans, teams, and venues will serve as the ticketing platform for both teams as fans will use its app to scan directly into matches next season.
“We are really looking forward to our partnership with SeatGeek. This platform focuses on putting the fans first, which aligns with our vision at Oakland Roots & Soul,” said Senior Director of Ticket Sales, Ted Lopez. This is going to be a great addition to the 2024 Season and beyond.”
As a full-stack event platform, SeatGeek builds ticketing technology for its clients from the inside out, helping teams reach more fans while giving supporters an upgraded experience when they get to the match. The platform recently launched SeatGeek Unify – a completely new client-facing box office interface that allows teams, theaters and arenas to easily create, sell and manage access to their live entertainment ecosystem.
“Oakland Roots and Soul SC are building a grass roots soccer movement in the Bay Area and we’re pumped to be a part of that journey,” said Jeff Lanello, Head of Sales, North America & Executive Vice President at SeatGeek. “They’re putting technology at the forefront of that movement which really resonates with us. Our platform will connect Oakland fans to the joy of soccer for many years to come.”
