Seat Unique

What Seat Unique does

Seat Unique, operated by RMS Events Ltd and headquartered in London, is a premium ticketing and hospitality marketplace that connects fans with official VIP tickets and hospitality packages for live sport, music, and culture events. The platform operates as a transactional marketplace where the company sells its own inventory and acts as seller on behalf of rights-holder partners, generating revenue primarily through transaction fees on ticket and package sales priced via proprietary dynamic pricing software. Distribution occurs through a responsive website, native iOS and Android mobile applications, and since April 2026 a discovery app embedded within ChatGPT.

The company's technology stack centers on a marketplace platform with proprietary dynamic pricing capability, consolidated booking and payment workflows (supporting Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay), and a recently launched mobile app that unifies discovery, booking, and ticket management. Customer-facing product surfaces include the core Seat Unique Platform, the Seat Unique Mobile App, branded venue-level experiences such as Seat Unique Club (launched at Old Trafford), and a trade programme enabling travel agents to resell inventory to international travelers.

Commercially, Seat Unique pursues a dual GTM motion: direct-to-consumer transactions through its digital storefronts, and an enterprise field-sales motion securing rights holders as official premium hospitality partners. Following the October 2025 acquisition of Circuit Hospitality and the March 2026 acquisition of P1 Travel, the combined entity reports 140+ official partners, over 500,000 hospitality packages, and customer reach across more than 150 countries. The company has raised £34.5 million across a 2024 Series A and a 2026 Series B (both led by Nickleby Capital), is backed by high-profile athletes and entertainers including Harry Kane, Ben Stokes, and Jack Whitehall, and operates additional offices in Manchester.
