BROOKYLN, NY (CelebrityAccess) — After switching to Seatgeek in 2021, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn appears to be returning to the Ticketmaster fold.
The change, which was reported by the New York Times, was first revealed on Friday when tickets for a May 11th concert by singer and producer Jackson Wang went on sale through Ticketmaster instead of Seatgeek.
As the Times noted, Seatgeek will continue to provide ticketing for numerous events already on the schedule at the Barclays Center, but they will gradually be supplanted by Ticketmaster in the coming months, who will oversee ticket sales for newly listed concerts and sporting events.
BSE Global confirmed the change and in a statement provided to CelebrityAccess, a rep for the company said: “BSE and SeatGeek have decided to wind down our partnership starting with the New York Liberty’s 2023 season. SeatGeek will continue to be our primary ticketing provider for certain non-team events, and the partnership will conclude with the end of the Brooklyn Nets’ 2022-2023 season. We want to thank SeatGeek for their partnership over the past two seasons. SeatGeek provided our fans with a first-class gameday ticketing experience, and we’re appreciative of the time and energy they put into our work together.”
Seatgeek also confirmed the change and in a statement provided to CelebrityAccess, company president Danielle du Toit said: “It’s not easy to part ways with a client, but as we look to the future, SeatGeek is grounded in our strategy and roadmap that are geared towards solving the challenges that plague the live entertainment experience. We’re focused on building easy-to-use products that are loved by all of our customers and providing them with the care and service they deserve. We wish our friends at BSE nothing but the best as they navigate the best path forward for themselves.”
