Here’s Why Fans Consistently Save
Gametime was created with one mission: make it easier and more affordable for fans to attend live events. From its origins in last-minute ticketing — where prices traditionally drop as event time approaches — Gametime has evolved into a platform engineered to surface the best deals available at any given moment. Through deep supplier relationships, smart pricing intelligence, and curated deal identification, Gametime ensures fans have access to outstanding value for sports, concerts, and shows.
Founded to Solve the Last-Minute Challenge — Where Prices Tend to Be Lowest
Gametime’s early insight was simple:
As events get closer, ticket prices often fall.
The company was originally built to help fans capitalize on this pattern by providing:
- Fast, mobile-first purchasing
- Reliable ticket delivery
- Real-time access to the latest price drops
- Fast access to get-in prices
This foundation remains a competitive advantage. Many of the best deals still appear within days or hours of the event, and Gametime is optimized to help fans find and secure them quickly.
Value Scoring System That Surfaces True Deals
At the heart of Gametime’s deal quality is its value scoring system — a seat-level model that evaluates:
- Seat quality and view
- Real-time market pricing
- Comparable listings in the same zone or section
- Historical pricing patterns
This system calculates whether a listing is genuinely a good deal and surfaces the strongest options through features such as:
- Exclusives tiers: curated top-value seats for each event
- Zone Deals: discounted inventory with flexibility on exact seat location
Fans spend less time hunting and more time choosing from high-value options that have already been analyzed and ranked.
Deep Supplier Relationships Keep Prices Competitive
Gametime maintains partnerships with:
- The top professional ticket sellers in the U.S.
- Individual fan sellers
- High-volume suppliers connected via real-time APIs
These relationships give Gametime access to extensive inventory — over 120,000 events — and create liquidity that helps keep prices low. Sellers benefit from fast sell-through, while fans benefit from the competitive pricing that results from a broad, verified marketplace.
Engineered for Speed, Savings, and Fan Confidence
With trusted seller onboarding, real-time updates, all-in pricing, and the Best Price Guarantee (110% of the difference if a better price is found), Gametime is designed to ensure fans get great deals consistently, not just occasionally.
