In 2017, we started @seated with a mission to empower artists to gain more control of their live data, as a way to ultimately help them sell more tickets & earn more revenue. I'm honored to be personally recognized for Seated's accomplishments on @billboard's '40 under 40' list of young leaders in the music industry. billboard.com/h/billboard-40…

I have such immense respect for the executives on @Billboard's 'Touring Power Players' list every year. This year, I'm incredibly humbled to be personally recognized for @Seated's accomplishments alongside them. As all of our partners know, it's just a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Seated and the amazing work they do for artists every single week. Thanks to Billboard for the honor. billboard.com/p/ticketing-20…

Seated Founders Re-Acquire the Ticketing Platform From Sofar Sounds billboard.com/pro/seated-fou…

To the artists, managers, agents, promoters, labels, and teams who have believed in us from the start... thank you. We’re just getting started. billboard.com/pro/seated-fou…

@CollinRugg This is misleading. A jury has already found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts against him in his first trial. He already faces up to 115 years in prison. The DOJ is just choosing not to pursue an expensive 2nd trial that was always likely just the backup plan

JUST IN: The U.S. government is dropping six charges against crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried including campaign finance violations and conspiracy to commit bribery charges. Making bribes with stolen money is fine as long as that money is going to U.S. politicians. SBF donated $100 million during the 2022 midterms, pouring tens of millions into dark money groups with customers' funds. Some of these groups were linked to Senate leaders including Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer. Here is Maxine Waters blowing him a kiss.

Hear This! @virginhotels and @sofarsounds (which we have proudly backed since 2016) are putting on a new concert series that supports up-and-coming artists. Just like the Virgin Records days! Here’s more: virg.in/w7C4

I'm looking forward to taking the stage at next year's @sxsw with some true experts in the live touring industry. Our panel is up for voting now: shar.es/afNyVz

@gillinghammer @podstash_ People like @flodeskinc for its simple design. Product looks great, but I’ve personally never used it. It’s an impressive company that 100% bootstrapped to $5M ARR in less than a year flodesk.com

I'm reaching for MailChimp to use as my email marketing platform for @podstash_ within the next hour unless someone talks me out of it Gotta be something new and minimalistic out there?

@eldsjal What are your beliefs when you sell $100M in $SPOT?

I’ve always been vocal about my strong belief in Spotify and what we are building. So I am putting that belief into action this week by investing $50M in $SPOT. I believe our best days are ahead...

@Jomboy_ All of this in an effort to “speed up the game”

Umpire thinks Realmuto embarrassed him on purpose so he ejects him, a breakdown

I'm noticing a lot stories being popularized on social media highlighting get-rich-quick schemes using AI tools (like @OpenAI's ChatGPT). Just a friendly reminder that building a successful business isn't as easy as just coming up with a good idea and letting it run on autopilot

Really excited for @seated to be involved in presales and VIP packages for Trevor's tour! 🚀

The idea that @JohnMayer might have some knowledge of @Seated, the company I created 5 years ago, still blows my mind. Proud of the whole Seated team on an amazing @deadandcompany presale launch today!!

I'm excited to announce my brand new "Back To Abnormal" World Tour with a special ticket presale going down tomorrow at 10am! Signup at TrevorNoah.com and use the code "HereWeGo" to get tickets before anyone else! We're coming back, baby! 🙌🏾 🔥🕺🏾#BackToAbnormalTour

We are excited to announce our first ever ticket lottery for our upcoming New Haven shows. The lottery will begin on Monday, March 29 at 12pm ET. More info at goosetheband.com/tour

...and we couldn't have done it without the support and guidance from @BobMoz and @Techstars Music along the way

Today @Seated is joining the team at @SofarSounds - a huge step in our goal to help empower artists to take control of their ticketing experience and fan data! pollstar.com/article/sofar-…

I'm really proud of everyone on team @Seated for what we were able to accomplish last year... 125+ live streams to 150,000+ ticket buyers in less than 6 months. 2021 > 2020

A few weeks ago, journalist @cheriehu42 invited me to speak to @water_and_music subscribers about @seated and our learnings from the new world of live streams. You can listen to our conversation at the link below for a limited time: patreon.com/posts/44613310

Two weeks ago, @seated shared Part 1 of our new multi-part blog series. We're now excited to share Part 2, which covers some additional learnings from our past few months of ticketing live streams. blog.seated.com/9-things-we-le…
