Seatfun, the invite-only, live event service for venues, organizers, and festivals, has officially launched with a new app.
Headquartered in Nashville and Cincinnati, Seatfun was founded in 2025 by Daniel Mastropietro, who is the Chief Executive Officer, and Josh Misko, the Chief Operating Officer, The mobile-first, operator focused and revenue optimized ticketing platform helps give venues, promoters, and festivals the tools and resources to increase revenue, improve marketing, and elevate the customer experience.
Seatfun has officially launched their full app, which allows users to create and manage events, sell tickets with optimized checkout flows, accept Apple Tap to Pay directly on the phone, scan tickets instantly with no extra hardware, build loyalty programs, own their customer data, run SMS marketing, track pixels across TikTok, Snapchat, Meta, and Google, get instant daily payouts, and more. Seatfun also features a marketing suite as well as fraud prevention systems.
The platform was intentionally designed to be invite-only, to protect event quality, protect buyers, and protect venues. In the first six months of operation before officially announcing, Seatfun was adopted by over 100 event organizers of all sizes, and has now raised funding at a multi-million-dollar valuation to continue building the next generation of ticketing focused on transparency, growth, and giving control back to venues and organizers.
“In today’s live events landscape, venues are carrying more pressure than ever. Since COVID, artist fees haven’t gone down, but bar sales and ancillary revenues often have, and that gap falls almost entirely on venues and promoters,” share Mastropietro and Misko. “On top of that, streaming numbers don’t necessarily translate to ticket sales, creating additional risk, yet artist deposits and guarantees from major agencies have continued to climb. Events organizers and ticketing companies should thrive together, or dive together. Seatfun was created by events organizers for events organizers, and one principle will always remain our North Star: put humans first, nurture real connection, and deliver meaningful value. Period. The rest is just technology.”
