GeekWire app of the week: SeatGeek

May 15, 2013, 1:52 PM | Updated: May 16, 2013, 1:58 pm

Summer is the hot time for concerts and festivals. If you’re looking for tickets, this week’s GeekWire app of the week might be a good tool.

SeatGeek is an app that pulls in ticket listings from other resellers like Ebay and Ticket Exchange.

One of the cool things, GeekWire‘s Todd Bishop explains, is that it ranks tickets based on the kind of deal you’re getting. Deals are ranked 1 to 100 and marked red if they’re bad and green if they’re good.

For a number of big venues, the app even offers a view of the stadium from the specific seat you’re considering.

Once you’ve found the right ticket for you, SeatGeek will link you up directly to the seller to finish your transaction.

SeatGeek is available free for iPhone and iPad.

GeekWire can be heard on KIRO Radio Saturdays at 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Available anytime ON DEMAND at KIRORadio.com.
