Specifically, it covers SeatGeek\u2019s 15 major U.S. venue partners, including State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington. (So, although SeatGeek is a major player in the secondary ticketing space, this integration is exclusive to venues where it operates as the primary ticketing platform.)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a strategic win for SeatGeek.
