Ticket apps that sponsor sports YouTubers

Gametime and SeatGeek, and almost nobody else. Across every sports channel we track, Gametime's code or link sits in 17,368 YouTube descriptions and SeatGeek's in 6,446. Vivid Seats, StubHub and TickPick come to 455 between them.

The ticket apps on sports channels

Each count is a video whose YouTube description has a line naming the app with a code, a discount, a sponsor or partner note, or the app's own link, every year to November 8, 2026.

What a ticket or event brand can take from this

  1. Pick the shape: one network with one code family, as Gametime did on Locked On, or a code or link per channel, as SeatGeek did on 160.
  2. Keep one offer everywhere. Gametime's "$20 off your first purchase" sits in 17,196 descriptions.
  3. Before you pitch a show, read its last few months of descriptions for a rival app, the way Raiders Report moved from Gametime to SeatGeek.

Our Shady Rays page shows one read with a code per channel on city fan shows, and sports sponsorship by sport shows which brands lead each sport.
