Seat Unique Raises £14.5 Million for Event Growth
Seat Unique, a dynamic company based in London, UK, has made headlines by successfully raising £14.5 million in an extended Series A funding round. This substantial financial boost was spearheaded by Nickleby Capital, a firm known for its strategic investments in innovative ventures. In a remarkable display of support, the company also garnered backing from prominent sports figures, including Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, John Terry, Matt Dawson, Ben Stokes, Sam Warburton, and Stuart Broad, among others. Their endorsements highlight the trust and enthusiasm surrounding the platform, as they understand the value it brings to fans and event experiences.
Under the visionary leadership of CEO and Founder Robin Sherry, along with Chairperson Richard Flint, Seat Unique has successfully positioned itself as a key provider of online services that link fans with official hospitality packages and premium tickets for live events.
The company’s proprietary dynamic pricing software allows rights holders to maximize attendance by adjusting prices intelligently, while also ensuring that fans enjoy a transparent purchasing experience. This model not only offers authentic and guaranteed inventory but also fosters a sense of trust between Seat Unique and its users, setting it apart in the competitive landscape of event ticketing.
To further enhance its platform and broaden its influence within the live events sector, Seat Unique plans to utilize the newly acquired funds strategically. With established partnerships with over 60 major UK venues, clubs, and promoters—such as Yorkshire Cricket, Jacksonville Jaguars UK, and Burnley FC—the company is well-equipped to meet the growing demands of both fans and rights holders alike. The advisory board, consisting of influential figures like Alastair Lukies CBE, Dame Alison Rose, Sir Michael Lockett, Tim Griffin, and Damien O’Donohoe, complements the existing leadership team and positions Shoot Unique for continued growth and innovation in the live event industry.
