SeatGeek to Power Team Schedule Pages To Help Fans Find The Best Deals On Tickets
December 7, 2010 (New York, NY) – SeatGeek, the leading ticket search engine, today announced a partnership with FanSided, the fast growing sports blog network and fan community. SeatGeek now powers the Schedule pages for FanSided’s professional sports team blogs including football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and more. Each team’s Schedules page displays the team’s recent record, gives users the ability to purchase tickets to upcoming games on SeatGeek.com, and includes SeatGeek’s proprietary “fan sentiment” data.
"“FanSided is thrilled to be working with Seat Geek, a company that has revolutionized the way sports fans buy tickets,” said Zach Best, Co-Founder of FanSided. “This partnership not only aligns two up-and-coming companies, but also gives FanSided readers yet another reason to visit and keep visiting our large family of sites.”"

Readers of FanSided’s network of blogs can now easily purchase tickets to the game of their choice through ticketing links provided by SeatGeek on the Schedule pages.
